    Flange Checks

    Indicates that you are supplying flange data to evaluate an in-line flange. Select or clear this option by double-
    clicking the Flange check box on the Classic Piping Input dialog box.
    You can read the values for the Flange Class/Grade and Gasket Diameter, G boxes from a file if you select
    ASME - 2003 from the Flange Pressure Ratings dialog box. The G values are located in the ASME-2003.G text
    file in the system folder under the application data folder.

    n Flange evaluation is based on a specific load case temperature. To evaluate the flanges in a model, specify
    the operating temperature at which the software evaluates the flanges in the Flange Analysis Temperature
    box on the Load Cases tab of the Static Analysis - Load Case Editor.
    n Flange evaluation can be performed for individual load cases and for ABS and MAX load combination cases.
    For more information, see Combination Method.

    From, To, Both


    Specifies whether the flange is on the From end, the To end, or both ends of the element.

    Peq/NC-3658.3 Selection
    Specifies whether to evaluate the flanges using the Kellogg Equivalent Pressure Method or the ASME
    B&PVC Section III Subsection NC-3658.3 method.
    Peq
    Evaluate the flanges using the Kellogg Equivalent Pressure Method.
    Peq = 16M/(p)G3 + 4F/(p)G2 + PD £ Pressure Rating
    Where:
    Peq = equivalent pressure (for checking against flange rating)
    M = bending moment on flange
    G = diameter of effective gasket reaction
    F = axial force on flange
    PD = design pressure
    NC-3658.3
    Evaluate the flanges using the ASME B&PVC Section III Subsection NC-3658.3 method.
    S = 36,000 * Mfs / (CAb * 3125) £ Min(Sy, 36000) non-occasional load case

    S = 36,000 * Mfd / (CAb * 3125) £ 2.0 * Min(Sy, 36000) occasional load case
    Where (note that the constants 36,000 and 3125 should be 248.22 and 21.6 in standard SI units):
    S = flange stress
    Mfs = bending or torsional moment (whichever is greater) acting on the flange, developed during a non-
    occasional load case
    Mfd = bending or torsional moment (whichever is greater) acting on the flange, developed during an

    occasional load case


    Sy = yield strength of flange material at design temperature; (where Sy, given in psi, shall not be taken as
    greater than 36,000 psi)
    C = bolt circle diameter
    Ab = total cross-sectional area of bolts
    PD = design pressure

    Read from File


    Displays the Flange Pressure Ratings dialog box. Click this button to read Temperature-Pressure Rating
    data from a file (ASME and DIN flanges are shipped with CAESAR II).
    As an alternative to reading from a file, you can type the data directly into the table.
    You can create your own data files by following the format described in the CAESAR II documentation.
    Values for both Flange Class/Grade and Gasket Diameter, G can be read from a file if you select ASME –
    2003 from the Flange Pressure Ratings dialog box. The G values are in the text file ASME-2003.G located
    in the system folder of your application data directory.

    Flange Class/Grade
    Displays the flange class and material grade. Typically, flanges are identified by pressure class and material
    grade, but you can type anything in this box. If the flange Temperature-Pressure Rating data is read in
    from a file, then CAESAR II automatically builds a flange name made up of the File Name, the Pressure
    Class, and the Material Class.

    Gasket Diameter, G / Bolt Circle


    (Units: ^21)
    Displays the gasket diameter. Values for Gasket Diameter, G can be read from a file if you select ASME –
    2003 from the Flange Pressure Ratings dialog box. The G values are in the text file ASME-2003.G located
    in the system folder of your application data directory. This box does double duty depending on which
    analysis technique is active.
    Peq Method:
    Specify the diameter at the location of the gasket load reaction. From ASME Section VIII, Division 1,
    Appendix 2, (except as noted in sketch (1) of Fig 2-4), G is defined as (see Table 2-5.2):
    n when b0 is less than or equal to 1/4, G equals the mean diameter of the gasket contact face
    n when b0 is greater than 1/4, G equals the outside diameter of the gasket contact face, less 2b.

    When using the Peq method with the Stoomwezen Piping Code, use the bolt circle diameter
    instead of the gasket load reaction diameter (see chapter D0701 of the Code RToD). The results of this Peq
    Method are considered by Stoomwezen to be conservative.
    NC-3658 Method:
    Specify the bolt circle diameter. This value is the diameter of the circle that passes through the bolt centers.
    Flange evaluation is based on a specific load case temperature. To evaluate the flanges in a
    model, specify the operating temperature at which the software evaluates the flanges in the Flange
    Analysis Temperature box on the Load Cases tab of the Static Analysis - Load Case Editor.

    Pressure: (Units: ^09)


    Temperature: (UNITS: ^07)
    Specifies temperature and pressure values. Use this table to define the flange Temperature-Pressure rating
    as a function of temperature for a particular material grade. You can type up to 24 temperature-pressure
    pairs. These values must be typed in ascending temperature order.
    Flange evaluation is based on a specific load case temperature. To evaluate the flanges in a
    model, specify the operating temperature at which the software evaluates the flanges in the Flange
    Analysis Temperature box on the Load Cases tab of the Static Analysis - Load Case Editor.

    Bolt Area (Ab)


    Units: ( sq. ^01)
    Specifies the total cross-sectional area of the bolts at the root of thread or the section of least diameter under
    stress.

    Flange Yield Strength, SYC, SY1-SY9


    Units: (^06)
    Specifies the flange yield stress at the cold (ambient) temperature and at each of the operating
    temperatures, for use in calculating the flange allowable stress.
    Flange evaluation is based on a specific load case temperature. To evaluate the flanges in a
    model, specify the operating temperature at which the software evaluates the flanges in the Flange
    Analysis Temperature box on the Load Cases tab of the Static Analysis - Load Case Editor.
