CEN/TC 74 - Flanges and their joints

This document defines a calculation method for bolted, gasketed, circular flange joints. Its purpose is to ensure structural integrity and control of leak tightness. It uses gasket parameters based on definitions and test methods specified in EN 13555:2014.
The calculation method is not applicable to joints with a metallic contact out of the sealing face or to joints whose rigidity varies appreciably across gasket width. For gaskets in incompressible materials, which permit large deformations, the results given by the calculation method can be excessively conservative (i.e. required bolting load too high, allowable pressure of the fluid too low, required flange thickness too large, etc.).

This document specifies non-metallic flat gaskets, with or without inserts, for use with flanges in accordance with EN 1092-1, EN 1092-2, EN 1092-3 and EN 1092-4, and pipes and fittings in accordance with EN 545, EN 598, and EN 969, for pressure application up to and including PN 63 values and dimensions up to and including DN 4000. In addition, this document also gives guidance on typical materials used and how they should be marked.

This document specifies the dimensions, types, designation and marking of non-metallic flat gaskets, with or without inserts, for flanges in accordance with EN 1759-1, EN 1759-3 and EN 1759-4, for Class 150, Class 300, Class 600 and Class 900 for nominal sizes DN 15 to DN 600. In addition, this document also gives guidance on typical materials used and how they should be marked.

This document specifies requirements for circular flanges made from ductile, grey and malleable cast iron for DN 10 to DN 4000 and PN 2,5 to PN 100. See 4.1 and 4.2 for information regarding allowed DN and PN.

This document is applicable to the selection of bolting for flanged joints on equipment subject to the Pressure Equipment Directive 2014/68/EU.
It specifies standards and additional requirements for dimensions, material properties and technical conditions of delivery for bolting.
NOTE 1   Washers are not within the scope of this document.
The selection is based on commonly used bolting. It covers common temperature ranges of the general service of flanges.
When selecting bolting according to this document it is essential to take into account environmental conditions and other parameters including type of fluids, corrosion hazards, sour service, low temperature brittle failure and relaxation at elevated temperatures.
The purpose of this document is to provide a selection of most commonly used bolting types and bolting material combinations.
It is not the intention to specify all possible applications but to give guidance on the most common applications. For example, application limits for material in the creep range are not explicitly covered in this document. Where material standard provides mechanical properties for the creep range respective reference is made in Table 3.
NOTE 2   Special services and ambient conditions may require the application of coatings. It is the purchaser’s option to decide on this. Depending on the coating used, a verification of the temperature ranges given in Table 3 and Table 4 may be required.
NOTE 3   In Annex B there are bolting types and bolting material combinations according to commonly used national standards other than those listed in Table 2, Table 3 and Table 4.

This document specifies the quality assurance procedures that are applicable to ensure that delivered gaskets comply with the relevant product standards. This document sets down procedures by which a user can have confidence that the salient features of each batch of gaskets or gasket materials delivered to them will be constant.
The gasket types covered by this document are those that are within the scope of the EN 1514 series and EN 12560 series and are simultaneously within the scope of the EN 1591 series. An exception is those gaskets intended solely for domestic fluids (like water, waste water ...) which are based on rubber with or without reinforcement like fillers and/or inserts.

This document details generic gasket parameters for use in EN 1591-1 during preliminary calculations during which the type of gasket to be used in an application is to be decided. Once the gasket type has been decided the parameters for gaskets of that type from the different potential commercial suppliers should be used in further calculations as within a gasket type there will be differences depending upon the supplier.
WARNING - For the final calculations using the method given in EN 1591-1 the reader is directed to obtain gasket parameters for the selected generic type of gasket from the intended gasket manufacturer. This is because the data for a generic gasket type will vary between manufacturers. This variation can be seen in the tables of data which are embodied in this document.

This European Standard for a single series of flanges specifies requirements for circular steel flanges in PN designations PN 2,5 to PN 400 and nominal sizes from DN 10 to DN 4000.
This European Standard specifies the flange types and their facings, dimensions, tolerances, threading, bolt sizes, flange jointing face surface finish, marking, materials, pressure/ temperature ratings and approximate flange masses.
For the purpose of this European Standard, "flanges" include also lapped ends and collars.
This European Standard applies to flanges manufactured in accordance with the methods described in Table 1.
Non-gasketed pipe joints are outside the scope of this European Standard.

This European Standard specifies the dimensions, design, types, designation, materials and marking of spiral wound gaskets for use with type A flat face or type B raised face flange facings complying with EN 1759-1 for the following Class designations:
-   Class 150, to Class 1 500 for nominal sizes DN 15 to DN 600, and
-   Class designation 2 500 up to and including DN 300.
The centering rings for the spiral wound gaskets according to this standard are sized for use with imperial bolting.
The dimensions of spiral wound gaskets for tongue and groove flange facing types and spigot and recess flange facing types to EN 1759-1 are not included in this standard.
Such gaskets may be available, however, for these types of flange and the purchaser is advised to consult the manufacturer as to their availability. Similarly, for slip-on or screwed flange types, the manufacturer should be consulted about availability.
NOTE   Dimensions of other types of gasket for use with flanges complying with the requirements of EN 1759-1 are given in EN 12560-1, EN 12560-3, EN 12560-4 and EN 12560-5, EN 12560-6 and EN 12560-7.

This European Standard is applicable to the bolting technicians, and their supervisors, the responsible engineers, who disassemble, assemble and tighten the bolted connections of whatever shape of critical service pressurised systems. A failure of a connection in such a system would endanger personnel, plant or the environment. A route for achieving competency in the skills required to safely and successfully disassemble, assemble and tighten pressurised bolted joints of any shape to a design bolt load using documented work instructions is given in this document. The aim is the establishment of a joint capable of maintaining a leak-free status throughout its’ service life.
This European Standard provides a modular training syllabus and an assessment process that can be used to determine the competency of personnel who disassemble, assemble and tighten bolted connections, whatever their shape, fitted to pressurised equipment containing a medium at any combination of temperature and pressure.
Bolting technicians have to assemble bolted connections of different levels of complexity. For this reason, training matrices dealing with bolted connections of various levels of complexity and for different types of pressurised bolted connections are given in this document. The modular structure created allows a bolting technician, once competency in the foundation level has been achieved, to obtain competency in higher levels as required.
Certification to this European Standard provides an attestation of general competency in accordance with the stated syllabi and assessments.
Certification to this European Standard does not represent an authorisation to operate, since this remains the responsibility of the employer, and the certified person may require additional specialised knowledge of employer-specific procedures, processes and equipment.

This Technical Report gives guidance for the calculation of full face gasketed joints on the basis of the calculation method given in EN 1591-1.

NOTE   The first Corrigendum EN 1092:2003/AC:2004, WI 00074C01 has been published as full text with the following sentence in the Foreword: "Due to the incorrect hatching, all figures were replaced.". Merging the full text plus instruction of the first Corrigendum with the instruction of the second Corrigendum was not possible. That is why it has been decided to merge only the instructions of the first and second Corrigenda into one new Corrigendum. Jens, 2007-07-23

The aim of this Technical Specification is to describe a calculation method dedicated to Bolted Flange Connections (BFC) with metal to metal contact (MMC). It is dedicated to BFC where MMC occurs in a region between the outside diameter of the gasket and the inside diameter of the bolt hole region. For MMC inside the gasket and for MMC outside the bolt hole region, the present method is not appropriate.
The calculation method proposed in this Technical Specification is mainly based on the method described in EN 1591-1, dedicated to floating type BFC. The behaviour of the complete flanges-bolts-gasket system is considered. In assembly condition as well as for all the subsequent load conditions, the BFC components are maintained together by internal forces. This leads to deformations and forces balances (see Annex F) which gives the basic relations between the forces variations in the BFC.
The calculation of BFC with MMC leads to the consideration of an additional force compared to the EN 1591-1 calculation method: the reaction force in the MMC area. It explains why two compliance equations are required in this Technical Specification (in the EN 1591-1 calculation method just one compliance equation is needed to determine the internal forces in all the load conditions).
Unlike EN 1591-1 where the internal forces variations are determined with the compliance relation between the assembly and the considered load condition, here, the internal forces variations are determined by using the compliance relations between two consecutive load conditions.
This method does not treat non-gasketed pipe joints.
1.1   Requirement for use of the Method
Where permitted, the Method is an alternative to design validation by other means e.g.
-   special testing;

-   flanges whose section is given or may be assimilated to those given in Figures

This European Standard for a single series of flanges specifies requirements for circular steel flanges in PN designations PN 2,5 to PN 400 and nominal sizes from DN 10 to DN 4000. This European Standard specifies the flange types and their facings, dimensions, tolerances, threading, bolt sizes, flange jointing face surface finish, marking, materials, pressure/ temperature ratings and approximate flange masses.

This European Standard defines a calculation method for bolted, gasketed, circular flange joints. Its purpose is to ensure structural integrity and control of leak tightness. It uses gasket parameters based on definitions and test methods specified in EN 13555.
The calculation method is not applicable to joints with a metallic contact out of the sealing face or to joints whose rigidity varies appreciably across gasket width. For gaskets in incompressible materials, which permit large deformations, the results given by the calculation method can be excessively conservative (i.e. required bolting load too high, allowable pressure of the fluid too low, required flange thickness too large, etc.).

This standard specifies the dimensions, types, design, materials and marking requirements of non-metallic flat gaskets with or without inserts, for use with flanges complying with EN 1759-1, EN 1759-3 and EN 1759-4, for Class designations 150, 300, 600 and 900 for sizes up to and including NPS 24 (DN600).
