Bolt Tension & Torque Calculation

Hydrostatic End Force Total Joint-contact-surface Compression Load Minimum Required Bolt Load for gasket seating Actual Joint Area contact for gasket 2 x pi x b x G (G = Gasket Reaction Diameter & b = width of gasket) Area of Bolts Thickness of Gasket Length of Bolt Modulus of Elasticity of Bolt Modulus of Elasticity of Gasket Decreasing Compression Force in gasket Delta = H / 1 + (AbxEbxtg/AgxEgxlb) Initial Required Tightening Force (Tension) (Hp+Delta) Total Tightening Force required to seal Joint (Greater of Fbo & Wm2) Friction Factor Pitch Diameter Number of Bolts RequiredTorque T = KxWxdm / n Strain = Stress / Modulus of Elasticity Elongation (St x lb)
