Bolted Joints and Gasket Behavior
What you'll learn
Explain how the bolted joint functions as a mechanical system that relies on the simultaneous interaction of the three primary components to successfully seal the connection
Assess the mechanical stress and strain of a bolt and explain the challenges that one encounters when specifying an optimum bolt load
Evaluate the total state of stress in bolts and how this effects the selection of a given bolt type and grade
Describe the effects of in-service conditions and how they reduce or increase bolt load
Describe the concept of leak tightness as a predictable value of gasket stress and how to use leak tightness as the basis of specifying bolt loads
Identify conditions that create bolt failure
Use ASME PCC-1 Guidelines for compliance to successful sealing of bolted, gasketed connections
Discern how to use either stress or strain to select bolt load
Evaluate the various methods of attaining bolt load.
Design of Bolted Flange Joints
What you'll learn
You Will Learn To
Develop an awareness of flange types and the ASME codes and standards applicable for bolted flange joint design
Enhance your knowledge for designing and analyzing bolted flange joints
Explain how the flange design interacts with bolts and gaskets to achieve a leak tight joint
Identify the parameters that can affect flange sealing along with methods to troubleshoot and remediate flange leakage
ROHR2 for optimized Pipe Stress Analysis
What you'll learn
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
Apply EN 13480-3 Criteria: Successfully interpret and apply the specific formulae and safety margins for calculating Sustained and Thermal Expansion Stresses under EN 13480.
Model EN Components: Accurately model all standard and specialized piping components (including EN-specified materials and fittings) within the ROHR2 environment.
Define Load Envelopes: Structure and combine static loads (pressure, temperature, weight) strictly according to the EN 13480 load case methodology.
Resolve Non-Linearities: Implement and analyze the effects of friction, gaps, and limit stops in the model, understanding their impact on overall system flexibility.
Validate Equipment Integrity: Implement nozzle load checks and verify external forces against allowable limits prescribed by relevant EN/DIN equipment standards.
Generate Auditable Reports: Produce detailed, customized ROHR2 output reports that meet all documentation requirements for EN 13480 compliance and third-party verification.
