The document provides calculations to determine the required torque for bolts connecting a shell flange to a channel flange using an SSPWD gasket. It details the bolt and gasket properties, calculates the internal pressure forces and minimum required bolt load. It then determines the initial required tightening force, total tightening force required to seal the joint, and divides this by the number of bolts to calculate the required torque of 2293.18 N-m. The calculations follow standard formulas to ensure the bolted joint will be properly compressed to seal against the internal pressure of 6.63 N/mm2.

Total friction factor between bolts/nut K = 0.25 and nut/flange surface
CALCULATION
1 Hydrostatic end force (H)

2 Total joint contact-surface compression load (Hp)

4 Decreasing compression force in gasket (ȴF)
ȴF = H/[1+ (Ab Eb tg) / (Ag Eg lb)] = 7430771.19/[1 +{(42974.688 x 199948 x 6.35)/(57869.47 x 3924x500)} = 5018864.56 N
