Flanges and their joints - Design rules for gasketed circular flange connections - Part 3: Calculation method for metal to metal contact type flanged joint
The aim of this Technical Specification is to describe a calculation method dedicated to Bolted Flange Connections (BFC) with metal to metal contact (MMC). It is dedicated to BFC where MMC occurs in a region between the outside diameter of the gasket and the inside diameter of the bolt hole region. For MMC inside the gasket and for MMC outside the bolt hole region, the present method is not appropriate.
The calculation method proposed in this Technical Specification is mainly based on the method described in EN 1591-1, dedicated to floating type BFC. The behaviour of the complete flanges-bolts-gasket system is considered. In assembly condition as well as for all the subsequent load conditions, the BFC components are maintained together by internal forces. This leads to deformations and forces balances (see Annex F) which gives the basic relations between the forces variations in the BFC.
The calculation of BFC with MMC leads to the consideration of an additional force compared to the EN 1591-1 calculation method: the reaction force in the MMC area. It explains why two compliance equations are required in this Technical Specification (in the EN 1591-1 calculation method just one compliance equation is needed to determine the internal forces in all the load conditions).
Unlike EN 1591-1 where the internal forces variations are determined with the compliance relation between the assembly and the considered load condition, here, the internal forces variations are determined by using the compliance relations between two consecutive load conditions.
This method does not treat non-gasketed pipe joints.
1.1 Requirement for use of the Method
Where permitted, the Method is an alternative to design validation by other means e.g.
- special testing;
- proven practice.
- Use of standard flanges within permitted conditions
1.2 Geometry
The Method is applicable to the configurations having:
- flanges whose section is given or may be assimilated to those given in Figures
Flansche und ihre Verbindungen - Regeln für die Auslegung von Flanschverbindungen mit runden Flanschen und Dichtung - Teil 3: Berechnungsmethode für Flanschverbindungen mit Dichtungen im Kraft-Nebenschluss
Brides et leurs assemblages - Règles de calcul des assemblages à brides circulaires avec joint - Partie 3 : Méthode de calcul pour les assemblages à brides de type contact métal-métal
La méthode constitue l'une des alternatives possibles (quand cela est permis), pour la justification de la conception d'un assemblage, au même titre que d'autres, par exemple :
- des essais spécifiques ;
- la référence à une expérience pratique justifiée.
1.1 Géométrie
La méthode de calcul est applicable aux configurations présentant :
- des brides dont la section correspond ou peut être assimilée à l'une de celles présentées sur les Figures 4 à 12 de l'EN 1591-1 ;
- quatre boulons identiques ou plus, répartis régulièrement ;
- joint conçu pour des applications avec contact métal métal ;
- des dimensions de brides qui satisfont aux conditions suivantes :
a) ;
b) ;
c) .
NOTE 1 Voir l'Article 3 pour la signification des symboles.
NOTE 2 La condition n'a pas besoin d'être satisfaite pour le collet d'une bride tournante.
NOTE 3 La condition a pour objet de limiter l'inégalité de la répartition de la compression du joint qui peut résulter de l'espacement des boulons. Les valeurs 0,01 et 0,10 sont à utiliser respectivement pour les joints à faible dureté (non métalliques) et pour les joints durs (métalliques). Un critère plus précis est donné en Annexe A de l'EN 1591-1.
NOTE 4 Il peut être nécessaire de prêter attention à la manière dont les tolérances et la corrosion peuvent modifier les dimensions ; en la matière, il y a lieu de se référer au code ou à la réglementation selon lequel (laquelle) le calcul est effectué, par exemple, ces valeurs sont spécifiées dans l'EN 13445 et l'EN 13480.
Les configurations suivantes sont hors du domaine d'application de la méthode de calcul :
brides présentant une géométrie globalement non axisymétrique, par exemple : brides à segments démontables, brides à goussets raidisseurs.
