The issue of maximum bolt spacing in container flange calculations
Thread Content
When using SW6 to calculate container flanges, the actual bolt spacing is found to be greater than the required maximum bolt spacing. Why are there limits for both the maximum and minimum bolt spacing in the calculation of container flanges? ? How should adjustments be made in case of such a problem? Use fewer bolts. But adding more bolts didn’t work either. May I ask where else there might be errors that could cause this situation? ?
Let’s replace pre-event worries with pre-event thinking and planning!
No one knows the answer to this question? ? :(
Device flanges selected according to standards do not need to be calculated, as the standards are the result of years of experience, and calculations may not be necessary in such cases. Also, could the material of the bolts be adjusted?
The bolt material, diameter, and gasket material all play a role. Adjust it a bit. As for the distance limits for bolts, requirements are specified in the GB150 standard. Which page specifically? The original poster should read the book carefully and look for it.
The minimum spacing is determined by the space needed to tighten the bolts, while the maximum spacing is set to prevent the bolts from not being tightened properly. The calculation of bolt requirements indeed takes into account factors such as the material of the bolts, the material of the washers, and the torque required.
