Standard Practice for Selecting Bolting Lengths for Piping System Flanged Joints

Summary

1.1 This practice covers bolt and stud bolt lengths, quantities, and thread series for pipe to pipe and pipe to valve flanged joints (Note 1) in the nominal pipe size ranges of 1/2 in. through 48 in. (12.7 mm through 1219 mm) diameter and pressure range of 125 psi through 2500 psi (0.8 kPa through 17 236 kPa).

Note 1: This is applicable when flange of valve has the same thickness as mating flange.

1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.

1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

1.4 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.


Rationale:

This practice covers bolt and stud bolt lengths, quantities, and thread series for pipe to pipe and pipe to valve flanged joints. This specification presents tables of bolting lengths for different steel flanged joints.
