SPECIAL NOTES

API publications necessarily address problems of a general nature. With respect to par- ticular circumstances, local, state, and federal laws and regulations should be reviewed.

API is not undertaking to meet the duties of employers, manufacturers, or suppliers to warn and properly train and equip their employees, and others exposed, concerning health and safety risks and precautions, nor undertaking their obligations under local, state, or fed- eral laws.

Information concerning safety and health risks and proper precautions with respect to particular materials and conditions should be obtained from the employer, the manufac- turer or supplier of that material, or the material safety data sheet.

Nothing contained in any API publication is to be construed as granting any right, by implication or otherwise, for the manufacture, sale, or use of any method, apparatus, or product covered by letters patent. Neither should anything contained in the publication be construed as insuring anyone against liability for infringement of letters patent.

Generally, API publications are reviewed and revised, reaffirmed, or withdrawn at least every 5 years. Sometimes a one-time extension of up to two years will be added to this re- view cycle. This publication will no longer be in effect 5 years after its publication date as an operative API publication or, where an extension has been granted, upon republication.

Technical Report on Capabilities of API Flanges Under Combinations of Load

1 Introduction and Scope This technical report presents the results of analysis work

done in PRAC 86-21 to establish the load capacity of all flanges given in the April 1986 Editions of API 6A and 6AB. A total of 69 different geometries were analyzed. The vari- ous loads considered were:

Bolt makeup (preload). Internal pressure. Tension. Bending moment.

All 69 flanges were analyzed with an axisymmetric finite element model for each of the four load cases. A post-pro- cessor program was written to calculate the maximum mo- ment capacity for various levels of pressure and tension, based on linear superposition of results. Three different cri- teria were used to establish the maximum moment:

1. ASME Section VIII, Division 2 allowable stress cat- egories for the flange with the basic membrane stress al- lowable established by APL 2. Allowable bolt stresses as established by API. 3. Loss of preload on the ring joint. The results of this post-processing are presented in plots of pressure vs. al- lowable moment for various tension levels in Section 4.

There are several limitations to this work which should be understood. First, the effects of transverse shear or torsion were not considered in the analysis. Second, the results are for static loading only. No dynamic, fatigue, or fretting phe- nomena were considered in these results. Third, no thermal stresses or elevated temperature effects were considered for this Bulletin. Finally, these charts are not intended to replace a critical evaluation of any particular connection in an appli- cation where the charts show the flange to be marginal. The charts are intended to be used only as general guidelines for design.

3 Instructions for Using Rating Charts 3.1 DESCRIPTION OF RATING CHARTS

3.1.1 The plotted results for the combined load capacity of each flange analyzed in this project are given in Section 4. The results are arranged in the same order as found in API 6A. The 6B flanges are first, followed by 6BX flanges. For each flange style the results are given in order of increasing diameter within each working pressure rating. (Thus, the 211/4 in. 2,000 psi 6B flange is before the 21/16 in. 3,000 psi 6B flange; and the 11 in. 5,000 psi 6B flange is before the 26V4 in. 2,000 psi 6BX flange.) Combined load ratings were determined for each flange with two different bolt makeup stresses. The first rating was determined for bolts made up to 52.5 ksi, and the second was done for a makeup stress of 40 ksi. The two plots are given on the same page to help eval- uate the effect of a reduced preload on a flange’s bending ca- pacity.

3.1.2 The combined load rating for all flanges was plotted even if the stress criteria were exceeded for makeup and/or hydrostatic test pressure load cases. There were only four flanges that did not meet these criteria (Table 2). These flanges all failed to meet the criterion for an extreme fiber (membrane plus bending) stress at a section in the hub im- mediately behind the back of the flange for a bolt makeup of 52.5 ksi. Until these overstressed flanges are modified, it is recommended that the user consider derating the flanges to an appropriate level.

3.2 USE OF RATING CHARTS

3.2.1 An explanation of the proper use of the plotted re- sults in Section 4 is given below. Also, a procedure to use in evaluating a flange for a particular combination of loads is outlined to aid those who will be using these results. Figure 1 is reproduced for the 3 I / i h in. 10,000 psi 6BX flange for reference in the discussion below.

3.2.2 The plotted results given in Section 4 show limiting load combinations of makeup, pressure, tension, and mo- ment. The results are based on the stress criterion or leak cri- terion that controls at each load combination. As a result, some curves have a “knee” in them when the controlling cri- terion changes from a stress limitation to a leak limitation. This can be seen in Figure 1.

3.2.3 The steps outlined below are provided to simplifj the use of the curves to evaluate a particular flange.

3.2.3.1

a. Boit makeup stress (52.5 ksi or 40 ksi). b. Pressure (psi). c. Tension (lb). d. Moment (ft-lb). Note: Remember, the pressure load condition includes the tension due to the pressure end load, so if no other tensile loads are present, the tension = O lb curve should be used.

Establish magnitude of each load condition:

3.2.3.2 Determine Flange Load Capacity

a. Pick the appropriate rating chart based on makeup desired. b. Enter the rating chart from left side with pressure. c. Move to right to find required moment. d. Intersection is point that defines maximum tension rating. e. Interpolate between lines to get maximum tension rating.

3.2.3.3 Evaluation

a. If the maximum tension rating is greater than the re- quired tension, the flange is satisfactory for the intended use based on the axisymmeûic analyses. b. If the maximum tension rating is less than the required tension, the flange cannot carry the desired load combination based on the axisymmetric analyses. The pressure, tension, or moment will have to be reduced, or in some cases in- creasing the bolt makeup from 40 ksi to 52.5 ksi will help. If these changes are not acceptable, a more refined stress anal- ysis will be required.

3.2.4 Example No. 1

Using the 31/16 in. 10,000 psi 6BX flange as an exam- ple, check the load rating for the following combination of loads:

a. b. Pressure = 10,OOO. c. Tension = O lb. d. Moment = 5,000 kip-ft.

this pressure/moment combination is:

Bolt makeup stress = 52.5 ksi.

Reading from Figure 2, the maximum tension rating for

Maximum tension rating = 6 1 ,000 lb

Since the required tension is O lb, the flange is okay.

3.2.5 Example No. 2

For the same flange, check the following combination:

a. Bolt Makeup Stress = 52.5 ksi. b. Pressure = 8,000 psi. c. Tension = 80,000 lb. d. Moment = 15,000 ft-lb.

this pressure/moment combination is: Reading from Figure 2, the maximum tension rating for

Maximum tension rating = 15,000 lb

Since the required tension is 80,000 lb, the flange is not adequate for this application. Possible lower combi- nations are:

a. Reduced Tension:

Pressure = 8,000 psi. Tension = 15,000 lb. Moment = 15,000 ft-lb.

b. Reduced Moment:

Pressure = 8,ooO psi. Tension = 80,000 lb. Moment = 7,500 ft-lb.

c. Reduced Pressure:

Pressure = 1,800 psi. Tension = 80,000 lb. Moment = 15,000 ft-lb.

3.3 DISCUSSION OF RESULTS WITH BOLT MAKEUP STRESS = 40,000 PSI

Ten of the 10,000 and 15,000 API 6BX do not have the capacity of rated pressure with a bolt makeup stress of 40,000 psi. This applies when bolts with a yield strength of 80 ski are used.

Table XC1 of API Spec 6A, Fifteenth Edition, indicates that these bolts are only applicable to 5,000 psi flanges less than 13’/8 in. diameter, 10,000 psi flanges less than 41/16 in. diameter, and to 15,000 psi flanges less than 2%6 in. diameter. The results of Section 4 show that this caution is warranted yet slightly conservative, since several of the flanges in ques- tion do have adequate pressure capacity with 80 ksi bolting.
