Why should the clamping bolts of the equipment flanges in shell-and-tube heat exchangers be evenly distributed across the midpoint?
A uniform load distribution across the span results in more even stress distribution compared to a central distribution, ensuring safer and more stable equipment operation. This post was last edited by zx9527007 on 2009-4-18 20:24.]
Why are the holes for flange bolts arranged \"uniformly across the span\"? http://bbs.hcbbs.com/viewthread.php?tid=172075 This might be helpful to you~
There are two advantages in normal conditions: first, the stress condition is relatively better; second, it prevents corrosion of the bolts in case of medium leakage.
