DESIGN OF FLANGES FOR FULL FACE GASKETS Engineering Department Bulletin No. 45TAYLOR FORGE & Pipe WoRKS ED BULLETIN No. 45 IGN OF FLANGES FOR FULL FACE GasKrTs RE SLANGES FOR FULL FACE GASKETS Zhe Rules for Bolted Flanged Connections of the ASME Unfired Pressure Vessel Code cover only ring gasket types, 1 having the gasket entirely within the bolt holes. For flange, full face gaskets the Rules simply recommend that they be designed in accordance with good engineering practice. Several approaches to the problem are currently employed. Until auch time as the Code actually establishes a design Procedure, the following method may be used for safe construction. Thie method LE a slight modification (see footnote) of that originally suggested py D. B. Rossheim and is recommended because it follows the framework and the terminology of the Code Rul. simplicity of calculation. nd provides for To use it, the following assumptions: must be made: it ts ascumed that full fixation at the bolt circle ia produced Guring bolting up, prior to the application of the internal pressure toad; the inner edge of tha flange in this condition is assumed unt ristrained, so that the reaction of the outer gasket is determined {rom static equilibrium about the bolt circle as follows: h, (outside gasket reaction) =—G_ ¥.(ins: RG gaaket reaction); where the inside gasket reaction is defined as either H’ or H in Gp i Gy accordance with the Code, and the outside gasket reaction { feed by HY orn’, : ” Gp OF Moy The total required bolt load then is obtained as the greater of the following two valu W =H+H (+o )eH+n 447 ; XG P cp Gp.

Gy Note: “Mr. Rossheim's original proposal was made in 1943, The modifications included herein are primarily for the purpose of bringing it into accord with the latest code rules in so far as it is possible.TAYLOR Fone & Pip Works 7zAL. With the reactions thus determined, the flange can now be caicu- lated like any other flange including the internal pressure load; it will be noted, however, that the sum of the inside and outaide gasket moments equals zero, and accordingly the applied moment becomen: M +M DT There is one difference, héwever, ax compared with regular flange design. In the case of a ring gasket, the moment semaina of the same sign throughout, while in the case of a full-face gasket a moment reversal occurs, Since the moment M_ =H h G aa may be greater than the moment M_, given above, an additional check of the radial bending streso at the bolt center lirie will be required; s = §Mg ; : meee In thie formula the ring effect and the reduction in section caused by the bolt holes have been neglected: the lalter procedure is quite Aefensible, since the saurnent at thin locahon may be expected to be lower than calculated.
