Required Torque Value: Bolt Stress At:: Asme Viii Bolt Loads and System Pressures To Asme Viii 1996 Division 1

This document outlines the procedure for tightening bolts on a flange according to ASME VIII standards. It involves 10 steps including loosening bolts, applying lubricant, checking for gaps or misalignments, numbering bolts in a crisscross pattern, and torquing bolts in increments to 30%, 70%, and 100% of the required torque value while following the crisscross pattern. Safety precautions are also checked such as ensuring personnel are trained and requesting information on hazards.

ASME VIII BOLT LOADS AND SYSTEM PRESSURES TO ASME VIII 1996 DIVISION 1

METHOD OF STATEMENT (BOLT TORQUING) AND CHECK SHEET

GASKET TYPE: TORQUE WRENCH MODEL:

TOOL COVERAGE : Single Hand Tool Torque Wrench SOCKET SIZE:

The following procedure shall be carried out with reference to the appropriate "BOLT TORQUING DATA SHEET".

Required Torque Value: lbf.ft


Bolt Stress at: psi Check " "

STEP 1 Check that all the stud bolts on the flange are loosen.

STEP 2 Check that the gasket is in position & stud bolts have applied with lubricant.

STEP 3 Check the flange gap around the flange is constant.


(Should the flange gap be uneven around the flange, the tightening
of bolts will start with the widest flange gap).

STEP 4 Check the piping severly mis-aligned. (If yes, report the matter for necessary
action. Otherwise, proceed to STEP 5)

STEP 5 Number all bolts consecutively,1, 2, 3, 4, etc... in a "Criss Cross"


clockwise direction of torquing sequence.

STEP 6 Set the Torque Wrench to 30% of the required torque.

Torque value lbf.ft

STEP 7 Using the Criss Cross method, work diagonally on the bolts around
the flange.

STEP 8 Set the Torque Wrench to 70% of the required torque. Repeat STEP 7.

Torque value lbf.ft

STEP 9 Set the Torque Wrench to 100% of the required torque. Repeat STEP 7.

Torque value lbf.ft

STEP 10 Do a final exercise by torquing each of the bolt consecutively one round
in clockwise direction as per STEP 9 torque value.

At this stage the tensioning operation is said to be completed.


(The torque value can be increased by another 10~15% should the compression thickness is insufficient)

SAFETY * All necessary safety precautions have been carried out.


CHECK
* Personnel involved in bolt torquing are competent and fully
trained in the use of bolt torquing and tightening techniques.

* Request information on hazardous chemicals, noise level, check of


scaldfolding, lightings & location of compressed air supply, purging of
gases, ventilation as required or specified by plant regulation.
