Body Flange Design
Body Flange Design
As per document flange standard is mentioned as AWWA standard and class "D". And Flange is designed to ASME Sec VIII Div-1 2021 to check the
intergerity of the flange.
Reference Code:
AWWA - Steel pipe flange for waterwork service
ASME Sec VIII Div-1 2021
ASME B16.34
A Design Parameters
Minimum required thickness for SLIP ON FLAT FLANGE, without hub according to fig.2-4
sketch 3, can be calculated as per the Procedure given in Appendix-2 of
ASME Section VIII Div. 1 Ed. 2021
Mt = Moment due to difference between total Hydrostatic end force on the area
inside the flange = Ht x ht (Appendix 2,2-3)
Ht = (H - Hd) (Appendix 2,2-3 )
= 2374.689 kg
ht = Lever Arm = 0.5*(R+g1+hg) (Appendix 2,Table 2-6 )
= 83.24 mm
Mt = 197658.521 kg-mm
For operating condition
Mo = Total Flange Moments = Md + Mg + Mt (Appendix 2,2-6)
Mo = 5132286.708 kg-mm
Mo = 50347732.604 N-mm
For gasket seating condition
Mo' = Moment due to Gasket seating = Hg x hg (Appendix 2,2-6)
Hg = W= 62103.763
hg = 77.5
Mo' = 4814350.019 kg-mm
Mo' = 47228773.686 N-mm
Mo' = 47228773.686 N-mm
19.5 Flange thickness required (t) (Appendix 2,2-7(b) )
f x Max (Mo,Mo')
a) Longitudinal Hub Stress (SH) = = 1385.36695634939 Mpa < ( 1.5*Sfo)
( L x g12 x B)
Yx Max(Mo,Mo')
c) Tangential flange Stress(ST) = Z x SR = 66.9048696304328 Mpa < ( Sfo)
( t2 x B)
d) Also (SH + SR )/2 and ( SH + ST )/2 are not greater than Sfo.Hence design is safe for this thickness.
