20、ed engineering standards for the inspection and mainte-nance of pressure equipment after it has been placed in service. At the recommendation of thisTask Group, the Board on Pressure Technology Codes and Standards (BPTCS) formed the PostConstruction Committee (PCC) in 1995. The scope of this committ

21、ee was to develop and maintainstandards addressing common issues and technologies related to post-construction activities andto work with other consensus committees in the development of separate, product-specific codesand standards addressing issues encountered after initial construction for equipm

22、ent and pipingcovered by Pressure Technology Codes and Standards. The BPTCS covers non-nuclear boilers,pressure vessels (including heat exchangers), piping and piping components, pipelines, andstorage tanks.The PCC selects standards to be developed based on identified needs and the availability ofvo

23、lunteers. The PCC formed the Subcommittee on Inspection Planning and the Subcommitteeon Flaw Evaluation in 1995. In 1998, a Task Group under the PCC began preparation of Guidelinesfor Pressure Boundary Bolted Flange Joint Assembly and in 1999 the Subcommittee on Repairand Testing was formed. Other t

24、opics are under consideration and may possibly be developedinto future guideline documents.The subcommittees were charged with preparing standards dealing with several aspects of thein-service inspection and maintenance of pressure equipment and piping. Guidelines for PressureBoundary Bolted Flange

25、Joint Assembly (PCC-1) provides guidance and is applicable to both newand in-service bolted flange joint assemblies. The Inspection Planning Using Risk-Based MethodsStandard (PCC-3) provides guidance on the preparation of a risk-based inspection plan. Imperfec-tions found at any stage of assembly, i

26、nstallation, inspection, operation, or maintenance are thenevaluated, when appropriate, using the procedures provided in the Fitness-For-Service Standard(API 579-1/ASME FFS-1). If it is determined that repairs are required, guidance on repair proce-dures is provided in the appropriate portion of the

27、 Repair ofPressure Equipmentand Piping Standard(PCC-2). To provide all stakeholders involved in pressure equipment with a guide to identifypublications related to pressure equipment integrity, a Guide to Life Cycle Management of PressureEquipment Integrity has been prepared (PTB-2).None of these doc

28、uments are Codes. They provide recognized and generally accepted goodpractices that may be used in conjunction with Post-Construction Codes, such as API 510, API 570,and NB-23, and with jurisdictional requirements.The first edition of ASME PCC-1, Guidelines for Pressure Boundary Bolted Flange Joint

36、delinesdescribed in this document apply principally to pres-sure-boundary flanged joints with ring-type gaskets thatare entirely within the circle enclosed by the bolt holesand with no contact outside this circle.1These guidelinesmay be selectively applied to other joint geometries. Byselection of t

37、hose features suitable to the specific serviceor need, these guidelines may be used to develop effec-tive joint assembly procedures for the broad range ofsizes and service conditions normally encountered inindustry.Users are cautioned that the guidelines contained inASME PCC-1 have been developed ge

38、nerically and arerecommended for general applications. They may notnecessarily be suitable for all applications. Precautionaryconsiderations are provided in some cases but shouldnot be considered as all inclusive. Sound engineeringpractices and judgment should be used to determinethe applicability o

39、f a specific method or part of a methodto a specific application. Each joint assembly procedureshould be subject to an appropriate review by qualifiedpersonnel. While this Guideline covers joint assemblywithin the scope of ASME Pressure Technology Codesand Standards, it may be used on equipment cons

40、tructedin accordance with other codes and standards.Guidance on troubleshooting BFJAs not providingleak-tight performance is also provided in this document(see Appendix P).2 INTRODUCTIONA BFJA is a complex mechanical device; therefore,BFJAs that provide leak-free service are the result ofmany select

41、ions/activities having been made/per-formed within a relatively narrow band of acceptablelimits. One of the activities essential to leak-free per-formance is the joint assembly process. The guidelinesoutlined in this document cover the assembly elementsessential for a high level of leak-tightness in

42、tegrity ofotherwise properly designed/constructed BFJAs. It is1Rules for design of bolted flanges with ring-type gaskets arecovered in Mandatory Appendix 2 of ASME Boiler and PressureVessel Code, Section VIII, Division 1; see also NonmandatoryAppendix S for supplementary considerations for bolted fl

43、angesthat are helpful to the designer of Appendix 2 flanges.1recommended that written procedures, incorporatingthe features of these guidelines that are deemed suitableto the specific application under consideration, be devel-oped for use by the joint assemblers. Alternative featuresand methods for

44、specific applications may be used sub-ject to endorsement by the user.NOTE: Within the context of this Guideline, the term “user”includes the user and their authorized agent, as recorded in eitherthe contract documents or in the written assembly procedures (seepara. 14.1).3 TRAINING AND QUALIFICATIO

45、N OF BOLTEDJOINT ASSEMBLY PERSONNELIt is recommended that the user provide, or arrangeto have provided, as appropriate, essential training andqualification in accordance with Appendix A of thebolted joint assembly personnel who will be expectedto follow procedures developed from this Guideline.See s

46、ection F-2 of Appendix F for comments onaccepting flange joint assembly procedures not currentlylisted in these guidelines.The qualification of assemblers in accordance withAppendix A may be considered portable subject to theguidance in para. A-5.3.5.4 CLEANING AND EXAMINATION OF FLANGE ANDFASTENER

47、CONTACT SURFACESBefore assembly is started, clean and examine flangeand fastener contact surfaces as described in this section.With one exception, remove all indications of the pre-vious gasket installation from the gasket contact sur-faces; use approved solvents and/or soft-wire brushes,if required

48、, for cleaning to prevent surface contamina-tion and damage to existing surface finish. Avoid usingcarbon steel brushes on stainless steel flanges.The exception based on experience is residual flexiblegraphite that may remain in the surface finish grooveswhen either a flexible graphite clad or a spi

49、ral-woundgasket with flexible graphite filler is to be used as thereplacement gasket.(a) Examine the gasket contact surfaces of both mat-ing joint flanges for compliance with recommended sur-face finish (see Appendix C) and for damage to surfacefinish such as scratches, nicks, gouges, and burrs. Indica-tions running radially across the facing are of particularASME PCC-12013concern. Refer to Appendix D for guidelines coveringrecommended limits on gasket contact surface imperfec-tions and their locations.(1) It is recommended that surface-finish compara-tor gages be available to jo
