6.5. Determination of the bolt lengths<br />

Fig. 6.5.a.<br />

Type of (flange) connections<br />

There are four different types:<br />

1 R.T.R.P. to steel connected with bolt and nut<br />

2 R.T.R.P. to R.T.R.P. connected with bolt and nut<br />

3 R.T.R.P. to steel connected with stud bolt and two nuts<br />

4 R.T.R.P. to R.T.R.P. connected with stud bolt and two nuts<br />

The lengths can be calculated with the following formula:<br />

1 L = T + t + p + r + m + 5 (case 1)<br />

2 L = 2T + p + 2r + m + 5 (case 2)<br />

3 L = T + t + p + 2r + 2m + 5 (case 3)<br />

4 L = 2T + p + 2r + 2m + 5 (case 4)<br />

Explanation of symbols:<br />

T = thickness of R.T.R.P. flange,<br />

for various pressure ratings<br />

t = thickness of the steel flange<br />

p = thickness of the gasket<br />

r = thickness of the washer<br />

m = height of the nut<br />

5 = allowance in addition to the<br />

tolerance of the flange thickness<br />

(diam. 25 to 300: 0, + 3 mm)<br />

(diam. 350 to 1200: 0, + 5 mm)
