Off Taker : PT. Maruwai Coal
3. Reference (Codes & Standards)
The latest edition of the following code, standard and specification form an integral part of this
procedure, include :
1. AS 4100

4. Preparation
1. Tightening pattern Snug‐tightening and final tensioning of the bolts in a connection shall
proceed from the stiffest part of the connection towards the free edges.
2. The bolt holes of the Structure or piping be cleaned so that the dirt in the bolt holes will not
fall on the contact surface during bolt insertion

3. The surface of the structure or piping shall be cleaned
4. After the structure or piping are aligned in the position, the bolt shall be tightened in
“Crisscross” pattern using torque wrench with two steps in accordance with “Bolting
Sequence” shown
5. It is strongly recommended not to use hammer in tightening sequence that can cause bolt
and nut or damage structure or personnel injury.

Note :
1. Reference of Standard torque from bolt standard tension table
2. Calculate maximum of tension as below formulation
Ʈ = F. 0.2 . D
Which :
F : force of bolt
D : dia. Of bolt
0.2 : coefficient of hot dip galvanish bolt
3. Calibrated value will be trial on site after turn of nut method applied, with
random check minimum 5 bolts.

a) Part‐turn method of tensioning
Tensioning of bolts by the part‐turn method shall be in accordance with the following
procedure:
On assembling, all bolts in the connection shall be firstly tightened to a snug‐tight
condition to ensure that the load‐transmitting plies are brought into effective contact.
Snug‐tight is the tightness attained by a few impacts of an impact wrench (it will be
calibrated on site and witnessed by PTMC or by the full effort of a person using a
standard podger spanner. The minimum spanner length showed on table 5.3.
After completing snug‐tightening, location marks shall be established to mark the
relative position of the bolt and the nut and control the final nut rotation. Obsevation of
the final nut rotation may be archieved by using marked wrench sockets, but location
marks shall be permanent when required for inspection.
Bolts shall be finally tensioning by rotating the nut by the amount given the Table 5.2.
During the final tensioning, the component not turned by the wrench shall not rotate.

Note:
1. Part turn only applies to bolts designated as 8.8/TB or 8.8/TF
2. Bolts shown as A325 Grade 8.8 snug only.
3. Tolerance rotation : for ½ turn or less, one twelfth of a turn (30°) over and nil under tolerance
for 2/3 turn or more, ne‐eighth of a turn (45°) over and nil under tolerance.
4. The bolt tension achieved with the amount of nut rotation specified in the Table 5.2 and bolt
torque grade 8.8 specified in the Table 5.1.
5. Nut rotation is the rotation relative to the bolt, regardless of the component turned.
6. Nut rotations specified are only applicable to connection in which all material within the grip
of the bolt is steel.
7. No research has been performed to establish the turn‐of‐nut procedure for bolt lengths
exceeding 12 diameters. Therefore, the required rotation should be determined by actual
test in a suitable tension measuring device which simulates conditions of solidly fitted steel.
8. Bolts that have been full tensioned using Torquemeter, cannot removed and reused.
Marking Bolt/Nut Stripe
The first step tightening the bolt with the snug tight and mark nut (White marker)

M20 305 mm
M24 356 mm

All bolts indicated on Drawings as Grade 8.8/TB or shall be tensioned by the “Part‐turn
method of tightening”, or other approved methods, to comply with minimum requirements
below, or approved equivalens in AS 4100. The bolt that have been fully tensioned can’t be
re‐used.
6. Treatment After Bolt Tightening
After completion of the tightening sequence, several steps and inspection of recommendation
shall be followed :
All bolts and nuts visually inspected from damage and all thread protrude as specified
Inspection for equipment paint shall be done, all paint damage shall be repaired as stated in
painting procedure.
Paint stripe on bolt after tightening.
