| Organization: | WRC |
| Publication Date: | 1 May 1993 |
| Status: | active |
scope:
Bolted flanged connections with full-face gaskets are not covered by ASME BPV Code, Section VIII, Division 1 rules. A method similar to the method used in Section VIII, Division 1 rules for bolted flanged connections with ring gaskets is proposed in this bulletin. Equations are developed and numerical examples are provided. Limited correlations with experimental data from strain gage measurements are also given.
