Select Column for Gasket seating II

External Bending moment M 0 in_lb

Radial load Pr 0 lb

Gasket Contact Width N 0.154 in

Basic Gasket Width bo 0.077 in

Effective Gasket Width b 0.077 in

Gasket Reaction Diameter G 6.413 in

Equivalent Pressure (Pe)

= 16*M/(pi*G³) + 4*Pr/(pi*G²) + P

= 1500 psi
Hydrostatic end force (H)

= pi*G²*Pe/4

= 48451.1 lb

Total joint-contact-surface compression load (Hp)

= 2*b*pi*G*m*Pe

= 0 lb

Minimum required bolt load for gasket seating (Wm2)

= pi*b*G*y (Multiplied by 2 as 2 nos gasket)

= 134964.978 lb

Actual joint area contact for gasket (Ag)

= 2*pi*b*G

= 3.103 in²

Cross section area of all bolts (Ab)

= n*pi*d²/4

= 6.755 in²

Decreasing Compression force in gasket (deltaF)

= H/[1+((Ab*Eb*tg)/(Ag*Eg*Lb))]

= 258.935 lb

Initial required tightening force tension (Fbo)

= Hp + deltaF

= 258.935 lb

Total tightening force requied to seal joint (W)

= MAX (Fbo , Wm2)

= 134964.978 lb

Required Torque (T)

= K*W*dm/(12*n)

= 180.842 ft_lb
