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 />
