The design of flanges other than flat face flanges shall be performed in accordance with the following:
 if a standard flange is specified in a European Standard, and no further requirement is given, the flange
shall be selected by means of the P/T rating;
— if a non-standard flange is used, the design shall be done by applying the calculation method in
EN 1591-1, using for example Annex P, or by applying the algorithm shown in the Taylor-Forge method.
If there is a specific requirement on tightness for the flange connection, this shall be calculated in accordance
with EN 1591-1, using Annex P.
Allowable stresses for bolts shall be in accordance with Annex D.
The designer shall consider section loadings caused by the connected piping system.
NOTE 1 The Taylor-Forge method does not ensure tightness.
NOTE 2 The algorithm given in EN 1591-1 includes a consideration of section loadings.
NOTE 3 The bolt torque should be specified by the designer.
NOTE 4 Attention should be paid in such cases to the method of tightening. Guidance of scatter band when applying
the different methods of tightening are given in EN 1591-1.

welded flanges. The requirements provided in this clause are based on the well established Taylor Forge rules.

Replace D.4.1 of EN 13480-3:2002 by the following:
D.4.1 Introduction
Circular bolted flanged connections, either sealed with a gasket or seal welded, used in the construction of
vessels to this European Standard shall conform to either:
 an appropriate European Standard for pipework flanges, and the requirements of D.4.2, or
 the requirements for bolted flanged connections specified in this clause.
Alternative rules for bolted flanges connections are given in Annex P.
Both flanges of a mating pair shall be designed to the same standard or set of requirements. This applies
when one of the pair is a bolted flat end or cover. The requirements for bolted flat ends in Clause 10 and
bolted domed ends in Clause 12 are considered part of the same set of requirements as this clause.

Annex P
(informative)

Bolted flange connections – Application of EN 1591
P.1 Introduction
According to EN 13480-3, two methods may be used to check bolted connections:
 the Taylor Forge method and
 the procedure detailed in EN 1591-1 and ENV 1591-2.
However, the proper application of this European Standard to bolted connections in the field of piping requires
additional explanations.
The following two parts of European Standard EN 1591, based on German developments, define an analytical
procedure for the design of bolted flange connections with gasket:
 EN 1591-1, Flanges and their joints — Design rules for gasketed circular flange connections —
Part 1: Calculation method;
 ENV 1591-2, Flanges and their joints — Design rules for gasketed circular flange connections —
Part 2: Gasket parameters.
This procedure allows the verification of the connection taking account of strength criteria and tightness
criteria.
The parameters taken into account are as follows:
 fluid pressure;
 mechanical strength of flange, bolting and gasket;
 gasket coefficients;
 bolt nominal loads
and, other than the Taylor-Forge method (see EN 13480-3:2002, 6.6), the following additional factors:
 operating conditions and specifically creep/relaxation behaviour;
 dispersions due to initial tightening where relevant;
 variations of gasket loading due to the deformation of the different components of the connection;
 effects of the connected shell or piping;
 effects of external axial forces and moments;
 effects of temperature difference between bolts and flanges.

EN 13480-3:2002/A2:2006 (E)
P.2 Scope
P.2.1 General
This procedure shall apply to the following arrangements:
 two circular flanges (identical or different);
 four identical bolts, as a minimum, regularly spaced;
 a circular gasket entirely within the circle enclosed by the bolt holes.
The procedure does not apply to metal-metal connections.
P.2.2 Materials
Bolt and flange materials shall conform to the requirements of EN 13480-2 regarding ductility properties.
Where these requirements are not fulfilled, lower nominal design stress shall be used.
P.2.3 Loadings
The following loadings are taken into account in this procedure:
 internal and external fluid pressure;
 external loads: axial forces and bending moments (equivalent axial load);
 thermal expansion of flanges, bolts and gasket.
P.2.4 Assumptions
P.2.4.1 The deformations of the cross-section of the plate are not taken into account. Only the rotation of
the cross-section is considered.
P.2.4.2 The plate of an integral flange is connected to a cylindrical shell or to an equivalent cylindrical
shell (conical or spherical shell).
P.2.4.3 The effective width b of contact between the gasket and the flanges may be less than the
Ge
actual width of the gasket. This effective width shall be calculated for seating condition and considered as
constant for all other conditions.
P.2.4.4 The modulus of elasticity E of the gasket is a function of the applied compressive stress.
G
P.2.4.5 Creep behaviour of the gasket is taken into account using the factor P .
QR
P.2.4.6 The thermal and mechanical deformations of flanges, bolts and gasket are considered.
P.2.4.7 External moments are taken into account as equivalent axial bolt loads.
P.2.4.8 Transitions between a condition to another lead to variations of bolt and gasket loads.
P.2.4.9 Acceptance of component loadings is based on limit analysis which covers failure by gross plastic
deformation.

P.2.4.10 The following is not taken into account or covered by the procedure:
 bending stiffness of bolts;
 creep of flanges and bolts except through nominal design stress and thermal expansion factors;
 external torsion moments and external shear loads.
P.3 Application of EN 1591
P.3.1 Calculations
The minimum tightening load for the required tightening of bolts shall be calculated by successive iterations.
Internal loads due to initial tightening shall be calculated for each condition (initial tightening, proof test
condition and operating conditions) and combined with external loads.
Safety factors shall be those defined by EN 13480-3:2002, Clause 5. However for seating condition, factor for
strength test condition shall apply.
P.3.2 Gasket coefficients
The recommended gaskets for industrial piping are given in Table P.1.
NOTE 1 For more information the gasket manufacturer should be contacted.

 NA: not applicable;
 ND: not defined.

P.3.3 Tightening
The initial tightening shall be greater than the minimum tightening required at room temperature to comply to
the requirements of the tightness class for the fluid and pressure considered.
However this tightening shall not lead to a gasket stress greater than the allowable value at room temperature.
In addition, calculations shall take into account the tolerances on tightening due to tightening procedure and
