Bolting Gasket Sizing

This document provides bolting and gasket data for API and ANSI flanges used in industrial piping systems. It includes tables listing flange sizes, number of bolts, bolt lengths and other specifications for a wide range of standard flange types. It also provides a torque chart to estimate bolt stress levels from applied torque values, important for ensuring proper bolt tension during installation.
