안녕하세요. 현장에서 이번에 발생했던 문제에 대한 것입니다.
I found that there is no gap between two flanges after bolt tightening as detail below:
1. Flange Size, Rating & Type: 8 inch, #2500, RTJ
2. As per ASME B16.5, Groove No is “51”
3. So Ring No. “51” gasket with octagonal shape was inserted. Ring No is referred from ASME B16.20 Table 3.
4. Performed bolt tightening
5. No gap was found between two flanges. However as per ASME B16.5 Table 5, “Approximate Distance Between Flanges” is 5mm.
Depth (E) of above the Flange is 14.27mm (ASME B16.5), while Height (H) of Ring is 26.9mm. It means that Depth of two Flanges is 28.54mm(=14.27mm x 2) and this figure is bigger than Height of Ring 26.9mm
So I checked other cases and concluded similarly.
As per "Approximate Distance Between Flanges on Table 5 in ASME B16.5", there is a gap like 5mm but actually less than 1~2mm after bolt tightening.
I think that approximate distance is for reference for BEFORE bolt tightening or bolt tensioning.
Please check and reply.
