MRC Bolt Chart

This document provides specifications for bolt sizes, numbers, and lengths for API and ANSI flanges at different pressure ratings. It includes tables with information on bolt diameter, number of threads, thread root diameter, area, required torque to produce different stress levels, and the corresponding bolt compression load. It also lists the number and size of bolts required for flanged joints of different sizes according to ASME B16.5 standards. In addition, it provides contact information for MRC.

The table above reflects the results of many tests to determine the relation between torque and bolt stress.
Valves are based on steel bolting well lubricated with a heavy graphite and oil mixture.

Number & Size of Bolts for Flanged Joints - ASME B16.5

Studs are measured on a first-thread to first-thread basis. Lengths of studs and bolts, when used with lap joint flanges, are dependent upon
the thickness of the lap of the stub end.
