Bolt Torque Calculation For Girth Flange (Ref.: Dennis Moss Procedure 2-10)

This document provides calculations to determine the required bolt torque for a girth flange connection based on parameters like gasket diameter, design pressure, bolt cross-sectional area, number of bolts, and material properties. It first calculates the hydrostatic end force and total joint contact surface compress load. It then determines the minimum required bolt load for gasket seating. Finally, it calculates the initial required tightening force, total tightening force, required torque, stress per bolt, and tension per bolt.
