Flange Dimension Lookup

Opens the Flange Dimension Lookup dialog box, which allows you to define general flange properties for weld neck flanges. The software then fills in flange and gasket dimensions with the closest standard size. For more information, see Flange Dimension Lookup Dialog Box.

Sync Mating Flange

Copies all values defined for the primary flange to the mating flange and keeps the values synchronized. Clear this option to define different values for each flange. Sync Mating Flange only displays for the primary flange.

Flange ID (d0/d0m)

Defines d0, the inside diameter of the flange ring or the outside diameter of the central plate of a blank flange.

Adapted from Figure 8, EN 1591-1:2001+A1, Flanges and their joints - Design rules for gasketed circular flange connections - Part 1: Calculation method

If you use Flange Dimension Lookup , the software defines a value for this field.

Flange OD (d4/d4m)

Defines d4, the outer diameter of the flange.

If you use Flange Dimension Lookup , the software defines a value for this field.

Flange Type

Defines the construction of the flange. Select one of the following options:

  • Integral G.3-4/3-6/3-7/3-8

  • Loose G.3-10

  • Blind G.3-9

  • Reverse G.3-5

See the figures that follow for example of each flange type.

Lap Joint Contact ID (d7min/d7minm)

Defines d7, the diameter of the location of reaction between a loose flange and a stub or collar for a lap joint flange.

Material

Defines the flange material. Click to open the Materials dialog box. Select a material from the list.

Blank Flange Center Hole Diameter (d9/d9m)

Defines d9, the diameter of a central hole in a blank flange.

Adapted from Figure 9, EN 1591-1:2001+A1, Flanges and their joints - Design rules for gasketed circular flange connections - Part 1: Calculation method

Blank Flange Center Plate Wall Thk

Defines e0, the wall thickness of the central plate of a blank flange.

Adapted from Figure 9, EN 1591-1:2001+A1, Flanges and their joints - Design rules for gasketed circular flange connections - Part 1: Calculation method

Equivalent Axial Flange Thk

Defines eF, the effective axial thickness of the flange.

Adapted from Figure 9, EN 1591-1:2001+A1, Flanges and their joints - Design rules for gasketed circular flange connections - Part 1: Calculation method

If you use Flange Dimension Lookup , the software defines a value for this field.

Radial Pres Load Thk (eP/ePm)

Defines eP, the part of the flange thickness subject to radial pressure loading.

Adapted from Figure 5, EN 1591-1:2001+A1, Flanges and their joints - Design rules for gasketed circular flange connections - Part 1: Calculation method

For many flanges, eP and eF are the same value.

Connected Shell/Pipe Wall Inclination Angle (phis/phism)

Defines jS, the angle of inclination of the connected shell wall, in degrees.

Adapted from Figure 5, EN 1591-1:2001+A1, Flanges and their joints - Design rules for gasketed circular flange connections - Part 1: Calculation method

Raised Face Depth (Fd/Fdm)

Defines Fd, the thickness of the raised face of a spacer-seated flange.

Stub Collar OD (d8/d8m)

Defines d8, the outside diameter of a stub or collar of a loose flange.
