Flanges and their joints - Design rules for gasketed circular flange connections - Part 1: Calculation

Flanges and their joints - Design rules for gasketed circular flange connections - Part 1: Calculation

This document defines a calculation method for bolted, gasketed, circular flange joints. Its purpose is to ensure structural integrity and control of leak tightness. It uses gasket parameters based on definitions and test methods specified in EN 13555:2014.
The calculation method is not applicable to joints with a metallic contact out of the sealing face or to joints whose rigidity varies appreciably across gasket width. For gaskets in incompressible materials, which permit large deformations, the results given by the calculation method can be excessively conservative (i.e. required bolting load too high, allowable pressure of the fluid too low, required flange thickness too large, etc.).

Flansche und ihre Verbindungen - Regeln für die Auslegung von Flanschverbindungen mit runden Flanschen und Dichtung - Teil 1: Berechnung

Dieses Dokument legt eine Berechnungsmethode für Flanschverbindungen mit runden Flanschen, Schrauben und Dichtung fest. Es hat den Zweck, die Festigkeit der Konstruktion sicherzustellen und die Dichtigkeit zu kontrollieren. Dafür werden Dichtungskennwerte angewendet, die auf Definitionen und Prüfverfahren nach EN 13555:2014 beruhen.
Die Berechnungsmethode ist nicht anwendbar auf Flanschverbindungen mit einem metallischen Dichtflächenkontakt und auf Flanschverbindungen, deren Steifigkeit über die Dichtungsbreite stark schwankt. Bei Dichtungen in unelastischen Werkstoffen, die starke Verformungen zulassen, können die Ergebnisse nach dieser Berechnungsmethode übermäßig konservativ sein (d. h. erforderliche Schrauben-kraft zu hoch, zulässiger Mediendruck zu gering, erforderliche Flanschdicke zu groß usw.).

Brides et leurs assemblages - Règles de calcul des assemblages à brides circulaires avec joint - Partie 1: Méthode de calcul

Le présent document définit une méthode de calcul des assemblages à brides circulaires boulonnés avec joint. Son objectif est d'en assurer l'intégrité structurale et la maîtrise de l'étanchéité. Elle utilise des paramètres de joints basés sur les définitions et les modes opératoires d'essais spécifiés dans l'EN 13555:2014:2014.
La méthode de calcul ne s'applique pas aux assemblages à contact métallique en dehors de la face d'étanchéité ni aux assemblages dont la rigidité varie de façon notable sur la largeur du joint. En ce qui concerne les joints en matériau incompressible qui présentent des déformations importantes, les résultats fournis par la méthode de calcul peuvent être excessivement conservateurs (c'est-à-dire effort de boulonnage requis trop élevé, pression admissible de fluide trop faible, épaisseur de bride nécessaire trop importante, etc.).

EN 14525:2022

This document specifies the requirements and associated test methods applicable to wide tolerance ductile iron and steel couplings, stepped/reducing couplings and flange adaptors intended for use with pipe components made from a number of pipe materials (ductile iron, grey iron, PE in conformity with EN 12201-1 to EN 12201-5, PVC-U in conformity with EN ISO 1452-1 to EN ISO 1452-5, steel, fibre-cement), for providing a leak tight seal over a wide range of pipe outside diameters:
-   to convey water (e.g. water intended for human consumption );
-   with or without pressure;
-   to be installed below or above ground, inside or outside buildings.
This document is not intended to cover sewerage or gas applications, where additional requirements may be necessary.
This document specifies requirements for materials, dimensions and tolerances, mechanical properties and standard coatings of products.
This document covers wide tolerance couplings, stepped/reducing couplings and flange adaptors:

-   Not intended for use in areas subjected to reaction to fire regulations.
NOTE 1   This does not preclude special arrangements for the products to be used at higher temperatures. Temperature limitations and pressure limitations are those coming from the PVC-U or PE pipes.

This document is applicable to the selection of bolting for flanged joints on equipment subject to the Pressure Equipment Directive 2014/68/EU.
It specifies standards and additional requirements for dimensions, material properties and technical conditions of delivery for bolting.
NOTE 1   Washers are not within the scope of this document.
The selection is based on commonly used bolting. It covers common temperature ranges of the general service of flanges.
When selecting bolting according to this document it is essential to take into account environmental conditions and other parameters including type of fluids, corrosion hazards, sour service, low temperature brittle failure and relaxation at elevated temperatures.
The purpose of this document is to provide a selection of most commonly used bolting types and bolting material combinations.
It is not the intention to specify all possible applications but to give guidance on the most common applications. For example, application limits for material in the creep range are not explicitly covered in this document. Where material standard provides mechanical properties for the creep range respective reference is made in Table 3.
NOTE 2   Special services and ambient conditions may require the application of coatings. It is the purchaser’s option to decide on this. Depending on the coating used, a verification of the temperature ranges given in Table 3 and Table 4 may be required.
NOTE 3   In Annex B there are bolting types and bolting material combinations according to commonly used national standards other than those listed in Table 2, Table 3 and Table 4.

This European Standard is applicable to the selection of bolting for equipment subject to the Pressure Equipment Directive 2014/68/EU.
It specifies standards and additional requirements for dimensions, materials and technical conditions of delivery for bolting.
The bolting selection covered by this European Standard is regarded to be used for combination with flanges according to the series EN 1092 (PN designated flanges) and the series EN 1759 (Class designated flanges).
The selection is based on commonly used materials, bolts and nuts. It covers temperature ranges of the general service of standard flanges (based on PN or Class).
NOTE 1   The bolting selection given may be used in combination with non-standard flanges too provided that the range of application of the equipment for which the bolting is intended to be used is covered. It is the purchaser's option to decide on this.
When selecting bolting according to this European Standard it is essential to take into account other parameters such as type of fluids, corrosion hazards and relaxation at elevated temperatures.
The purpose of this European Standard is to provide a selection of most commonly used bolting types and bolting material combinations as well a tool for easy selection of suitable bolting for equipment.
It is not the intention to specify all possible applications but to give guidance on the most commonly applications. According to this, e.g. application limits for material in the creep range are not explicitly covered in this European Standard but some bolting materials listed (see Table 3, footnote h) are suitable to be used in this temperature range. Wherever the starting material standard provides mechanical properties for this temperature range respective reference is made in Table 3.

EN 1591-1:2013

This European Standard defines a calculation method for bolted, gasketed, circular flange joints. Its purpose is to ensure structural integrity and control of leak tightness. It uses gasket parameters based on definitions and test methods specified in EN 13555. The calculation method is not applicable to joints with a metallic contact out of the sealing face or to joints whose rigidity varies appreciably across gasket width. For gaskets in incompressible materials, which permit large deformations, the results given by the calculation method can be excessively conservative (i.e. required bolting load too high, allowable pressure of the fluid too low, required flange thickness too large, etc.).
