27、 resulted in the publication of API Bulletin 6AF! Included herein is an in-depth look into the effect of elevated temperatures on API flanges. The results in this report are analytical and assume a tem- perature gradient across the flange as stated in this report. When the flange is insulated on the
28、 outside surface, the allow- able loads will be higher. Additional finite element models of five new flanges in API 6A, Sixteenth Edition, 1989, which were not in the 1986 Fifteenth Edition, used as a basis for the earlier work, were developed for the combined loading of bolt makeup, internal pressu
29、re, tension and bending moment. The API materials were then grouped into four material categories. A thermal analysis was performed (using all 63 axisymmetric finite ele- ment models of PRAC 86-212 and the 5 new models) to determine the temperature gradient and resulting thermal stresses at steady s
30、tate for all four material types at design bore temperatures of 350F and 650F. The post-processor program of PRAC 86-212 (calculating the maximum moment capacity for various levels of pressure and tension based on superposition) was partly modified to include thermal effects and produce separate rat
31、ing curves on the same chart, based on the leak or loss of preload (on the ring joint) criterion and the stress criteria. The stress criteria used were of two types: a) ASME Section VIII, Division 2, allowable stress categories for the flange with the basic mem- brane stress allowable established by
32、 APL and h) allowable bolt stresses as established by API. The results of this post- processing are presented in plots of pressure vs. allowable moment for various tension levels. These new rating charts were developed at two elevated temperatures for all four material categories in Appendices A, B,
33、 C, and D respectively. See Section 4 for details of the axisymmetric analysis and As in the previous report PRAC 86-21*, this report does not address the actual gasket contact loads required to make a seal. This report utilizes the leak or loss of preload (on the ring joint) criterion as in Bull 6A
34、F4 (PRAC 86-21 j and Bull 6AF25 (PRAC 88-21)6 and not the leakage criteria in report PN 90-2 1 .

The properties for both bolts and flanges, as well as the yield strength of bolts, were derated according to the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (see Table 2).
39、 3.3 FLANGE COMBINED LOAD CAPACITIES The plotted results for the combined load capacity of each flange analyzed in this project are given in Appendices A, B, C, and D. The rating charts for each material category are presented in a separate Appendix. The results for each category are arranged in the
40、 same order as found in API 6A, first at 350F and then at 650F. The 6B flanges are first, fol- lowed by 6BX flanges. For each flange style the results are given in order of increasing diameter within each working pressure rating. (Thus, the 211/4“ 2,000 psi 6B flange is before the 2l/16“ 3,000 psi 6
41、B flange; and the 11“ 5,000 psi 6B flange is before the 263/4“ 2,000 psi 6BX flange.) For the first two material categories (Appendices A and B) combined load ratings were determined for each flange with two different bolt makeup stresses. The first rating was deter- mined for bolts made up to 52.5
42、ksi, and the second rating was done for a makeup stress of 40 ksi. The two plots are given on the same page to help evaluate the effect of a reduced preload on a flanges bending capacity. For each. of the first two material categories, two separate sets of plots are provided at 350F and at 650F. For
43、 the last two material categories (Appendices C and D) combined load ratings were determined for each flange with only one bolt makeup stress. The rating charts were deter- mined for bolts made up to 42.5 ksi. Therefore, the charts for the two temperature ratings are provided in the same plot. Bolt
44、makeup is taken as half the yield strength of the bolts. To assist the user in better understanding the rating charts, a table of controlling criteria has been established (see Table 6). Each identification number corresponds to a separate stress condition. Also included in the table is ID=l 1, whic
45、h denotes leaknoss of preload. The controlling capacity curve with ID=11 is shown in the rating charts with a continuous line. Therefore, only the identification of the controlling stress criteria will be shown in the rating charts. When studying these results, one should keep in mind that for a par
46、ticular flange the moment capacity based on leak/loss of preload criteria is assumed to not be affected by temperature variations; thus no difference exists between material catego- ries or between temperatures within a material category. This assumption was made because, in general, the thermal bou
47、nd- ary conditions chosen result in the flanged-joint preload increasing, due to temperatm. This increase, if accounted for, would allow higher moments for the leak criterion.
