example for an eight bolt flange is illustrated below.
A similar pattern shall be used in accordance with the number of stud bolts
required. A minimum of one thread shall extend beyond the top of each nut.
Where more than one thread extends, the stud bolts shall be pulled up to
ensure that an equal number of threads is expose beyond the nut on each
stud.
