EN 13445-3:2002/A10:2007 (E)
Annex GA
(informative)

Alternative design rules for flanges and gasketed flange connections
GA.1 Purpose
This annex provides a calculation method for bolted, gasketed circular flange joints. It is applicable to flanges
and bolted domed ends, and it is an alternative to the methods in Clauses 11 and 12.
Its purpose is to ensure structural integrity and leak tightness for an assembly comprising two flanges, bolts
and a gasket. Flange loadings are shown in Figure GA.3-1. Different types of bolts and gaskets are shown in
Figures GA.3-2 to GA.3-3.
This annex does not consider bolted tubesheet flange connections with two gaskets and/or two different fluid
pressures. It also does not consider flange joints with integral tubesheet-flange-connections and such with two
shells connected to a flange (jacketed vessels or pipes).
NOTE This informative Annex is a further development of the Alternative method contained in Annex G. It may be
used particularly in the case of bolted flanged connections of vessels containing gases or vapours, for which it is
necessary to fix a maximum allowable leak rate in order to protect the environment. The gasket factors contained in
Tables GA.9.1 to GA.9.6 are partially based on research results, and partially on theoretical considerations. Use of such
factors should be made with caution, with the agreement - whenever possible - of the gasket manufacturer concerned.

GA.3.3 Symbols
Units are given in square brackets; [-] indicates that the quantity is dimensionless (dimension [1]).
Subscripts to the symbols are written as follows:
 First subscripts specify the structural element (e.g. F for flange or G for gasket) and the kind of quantity
(e.g. 3 for diameter 3 or E for effective).
 If an element exists more than once (e.g. two different flanges, numbered by J = 1 and J = 2), their
distinction may be specified by an additional subscript (number in brackets); however it is not necessarily
given.
 The last subscript specifies the load condition (Ι). If it is written, then always in brackets; however it is not
necessarily given. In some cases the both last subscripts look as follows: (J, Ι).
