... Abstract An essential part of today’s power plants are flanges, for example as connection between turbine housings and pipes. Which allows revisions, inspections and maintenance measures. Ongoing changes towards higher amounts of renewable energy sources leading to higher demands in flexibility...

... Abstract Over the last decade, multiple carbon steel flanges brittle fracture failures have led the industry to issue a global alert on standard ASTM A105 flanges toughness values at temperatures higher than −20°F (−29°C), the minimum temperature allowed by the current editions of ASME B16.5...

...VERIFICATION OF FLANGE RIGIDITY INDEX FOR STANDARD FLANGES USING FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS Junho Choi1, Minsu Kim, Ozer Dereli, Mehmet Ozbey, James Wesevich Thornton Tomasetti, Inc. Houston, TX ABSTRACT A flange connection consists of the flange, gasket, bolts, and pipe. In a flange design stage...

... problem. The outlet flange of hydrogenation reactor in a petrochemical company suddenly cracked after several years of use. The maximum depth of the crack from the sealing surface to the depth of the flange is 165 mm, the circumferential cracking range is about 130 degrees. The crack...

... Abstract One important element in the integrity of bolted flanged joints is the condition of the flange seating surfaces which contact the gasket. Just as the competence of the bolted joint assembler is a key element in the integrity of an otherwise properly designed and constructed bolted...

... to this activity, a Task Group within the ASME Post Construction Subcommittee on Flanged Joint Assembly is redrafting the article detailing procedures for Single Stud Replacement. This paper discusses the work and focuses on the task of determining and documenting a technical basis for setting the limits (e.g...

... 12 07 2010 Performance of a bolted flange joint is characterized mainly by its ‘strength’ and ‘sealing capability’. The weakest part of a high temperature and pressure envelope is the gasket in bolted flange joints, as these are prone to leakage. It causes loss of productivity...

...A DYNAMIC INVESTIGATION OF PIPING SYSTEMS WITH A BOLTED FLANGE William H. Semke, George D. Bibel, Sukhvarsh Jerath, Sanjay B. Gurav, and Adam L. Webster School of Engineering and Mines University of North Dakota Grand Forks, North Dakota 58202, U.S.A. ABSTRACT The dynamic response of piping systems...

... as well as an adapted calculation Code. In Europe, projects try to give theorica, tests data, design consideration, informations to be able to build standards, for example “Design of GRP Flanges and Tests to Verify the Design and to Determine Long-Term Properties of GRP Pipes”. This paper shows examples...

... 04 08 2008 This paper uses an analytical model based on the Pressure Vessel Research Council (PVRC) ROTT test gasket constants to compute leakage in gasketed flange joints subjected to internal pressure and external bending moments. The model results are compared with test data...
