General Notes for FVC Standard Studding Outlets Codes: Material and manufacturing practices for FVC studding outlets are in compli- ance with ASME Section II, Section VIII Division 1, and B16.5. Other re- quirements can be met when specified. Materials: FVC forged studding outlets are made from SA-105 in compliance with ASME Section I. FVC studding outlets are available in other material compo- sitions upon request. See “Technical Section” on page 59 for materials stocked by FVC. Thickness: , ‘The standard thickness shown in charts for all FVC studding outlets is the Tn ‘minimum required for ASME Section VIII Division 1 for thread engagement tH | and thickness required for mounting the studding outlet to the ILD. as shown in a Ye SY FIG. A. It is important to note that for studding outlets which are set through a Fy. vessel (FIG. A), the thickness of the studding outlet may need to be increased “Set Thru" Attachment to comply with ASME Code, Section VIII Division 1, paragraph UG-43(d) requirements, For studding outlets mounted to the O.D. as shown in FIG. B, a «|, tuction of thickness is possible. Ifthe required minimum thickness is greater |] | than FVC standard due to the ASME reinforcing requirements, FVC will LY | increase the studding outlet thickness as necessary atthe buyer's request or when design data is supplied with an order. The minimum thickness is mea- get One Gagenment sured at the points in FIG. C and FIG. D. Facings: tT FP) AILFVC studding outlets are furnished with a raised face per ASME BI6.5. A | 0,06-inch raised face is provided on CLASS 150 and 300 flanges. A 0.25-inch Fig.¢ -.__ Tised face is provided on CLASS 400 and above flanges. These facing thick- For Spherical Gurvature nesses are included in the “T” dimension. See the “Technical Section” on pages 62 through 65 for other types of facings available on FVC flanges. Gaskets are not furnished by FVC. ot] Bolting and Tolerances: Fig. D FVC flanges are furnished to ASME B16.5 specifications unless otherwise For Oylindrieal Curvature specified. See the “Technical Section” on pages 60 and 61 for complete FVC tolerances, Bore: Standard bores on all FVC studding outlets are to the nominal flange size. Larger or smaller bores ean be provided on all FVC studding outlets upon request. Notes continued on the following page. 50
