Working Pressures for TTMA Flanges 1

[FurnitureGuy]

Greetings everyone...

I've lurked at Eng-Tips for a while and gotten a lot of great information from this site.

I now have a question that I can't find the answer to by doing a Search and am hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction.

I am trying to find the working pressures for TTMA (Tank and Trailer Manufacturer's Association) flanges. I was wondering if anyone had any information on these type of fittings.

Thanks!!

Mike

I've never heard of these TTMA flanges so I don't know what they are like. If they are bolted and circular you could establish a safe working pressure using the ASME VIII Div. 1 or Div. 2 flange design method, also found in PD5500.

Mike,

If you intend to do some flange calculations you might visit the 'Pipemill' site advertised at the top of the page. The software covers several Code methods of flange design and analysis in addition to many other subjects.
