ASME PCC-1 Appendix-O (Assembly of Bolt Stress Determination)

This document provides calculations to determine the assembly bolt torque (Tb) for a flange connection according to ASME PCC-1 Appendix-O. It lists the given parameters such as bolt area and number, flange diameters, material properties, and design pressures. Equations from the standard are used to calculate the selected bolt stress (SbSel) and check that it meets requirements. The final selected bolt stress is then used to calculate the assembly bolt torque as 300 ft-lbs or 41 kg-m.
