17、ntHigh temperature-resistant molybde-num disulfide grease.4.2 Preparation of Apparatus:4.2.1 Prior to running any tests in a new fixture, the integrityof the assembled test fixture should be checked by running atest at a temperature at least 100F (38C) higher than the testtemperature, without exceed

18、ing the temperature/pressure ratingfor the flange. A standard gasket material approved for theseservice conditions shall be used with water as the test fluid.4.2.2 The maximum use temperature for the fixture withsaturated steam is 563F (295C). Therefore, if a test tempera-ture is not specified, this

19、 maximum shall be used as the default.However, any temperature that does not exceed this limit maybe used if agreed upon by the producer and user.4.2.3 Follow the steps in Section 9 for one cycle of aminimum of 24 h. Ensure that the gasket is acceptable for thattemperature/pressure.5. Test Specimen5

20、.1 The test specimen shall be a Class 600 2-in. (50-mm)ring gasket. It is recommended that a116-in. (1.5-mm) thickgasket be used. However, other thicknesses can be used ifagreed to by the producer and user.5.1.1 See ASME B16.21, Table 8, for gasket dimensions.5.1.2 See Classification F 104 for thick

21、ness tolerance.5.1.3 Preconditioning of the test gasket is not necessary,since this test is designed for shelf stock gaskets.6. Flange Limits6.1 Ensure that the test pressure never exceeds the pressure/temperature rating of the flange class:Class 600 Cast Steel 400F (205C) Limited to 1270 psig (88.6

22、 bar) or (8.87 MPa) 500F (260C) Limited to 1200 psig (83.8 bar) or (8.38 MPa) 600F (316C) Limited to 1095 psig (76.6 bar) or (7.66 MPa) 700F (371C) Limited to 1065 psig (74.5 bar) or (7.45 MPa)7.

24、3F (295C) Generates 1145 psig (78.9 bar) or (7.89 MPa)8. Bolt Torque Guidelines8.1 The recommended assembly torque is 65 6 5 ftlbf (886 7 Nm), which produces a gasket stress of approximately 11000 psi (75.8 MPa). This calculation is based on the use ofmolybdenum disulfide grease as the bolt lubrican

25、t (4.1.9).8.2 A recommended article is “Torque - Tensioning Part II”by Dr. H. E. Trucks.5Also see ASME PCC-1.8.3 Various assembly torques may be used, as agreed uponby producer and user, and provided the gasket stress is neverless than 4350 psi (30 MPa).9. Procedure9.1 A minimum of two test assembli

26、es is recommended pergasket type tested.9.2 Ensure that the flange assembly has been thoroughlycleaned and that the exposed surfaces of the flanges are free ofall residues from previous tests. Inspect for nicks, scratches, orserious defects. Recondition when required. (WarningIt isimportant to check

27、 the flanges to ensure that the surfacesremain within the correct roughness and flatness range.)9.3 Ensure that the bolts, nuts, and washers are not damagedand that the nut runs freely onto the bolt by hand.9.4 Cut standard ASME 2-in., Class 600 ring gaskets.9.5 Clean bolt threads, nuts, and washers

28、 with an organicsolvent. Then lubricate bolts, nuts, and washers. Do notlubricate the dial indicator adapter assembly or the part of thecalibrated bolt that it will contact, since the presence oflubricants on these components will adversely affect boltelongation readings. Do not coat gasket or flang

29、es with anykind of release material.9.6 Assemble the fixture as follows:9.6.1 Place the empty weld neck flange on the scale and tareit.9.6.2 Pour 125 mL of water in the flange, and record theexact weight of water (Ww).9.6.3 Tare the scale, center the gasket onto the raised face ofthe weld neck flang

30、e, and record gasket weight (Gw).9.6.4 Place the blind flange carefully on the weld neckflange, and install the bolts, washers, and nuts finger tight.9.6.5 Install the dial indicator assembly (dial indicatormounted on adapter) over the calibrated bolt with a calibratedtorque wrench set to 40 in.lbf

31、(4.6 Nm), and zero the dial.Lock the dial indicator in the zero position, then remove thedial indicator assembly carefully. Bolt stretch may also bemeasured externally using an ultrasonic bolt stretch gauge fora given bolt.9.6.6 Using a calibrated torque wrench, torque the boltaccording to the FSA r

32、ecommended cross pattern in 3 incre-ments of 20 6 5 ftlbf (27 6 7 Nm) and finally one cycle at65 6 5 ftlbf (886 7 Nm) (see ESA/FSA Publication No.009/98 or ASME PCC-1, or both). Then torque each boltconsecutively in a counterclockwise pattern at 65 ftlbf (88Nm), doing the first bolt a second time. T

33、he final torque maybe adjusted as agreed upon between producer and user, butmust be clearly stated in the report. The default torque settingshall be 65 ftlbf (88 Nm) unless otherwise agreed upon andspecified.9.6.7 Complete the tightening process in 15 min.9.6.8 Ten minutes after completing the tight

34、ening processdescribed in 9.6.6, torque again with the FSA cross pattern to65 ftlbf (88 Nm). Finally, tighten each bolt consecutively in acounterclockwise pattern to 65 ftlbf (88 Nm), doing the firstbolt a second time.9.6.9 Reinstall the dial indicator assembly over the cali-brated bolt using a cali

35、brated torque wrench set to 40 in.lbf(4.6 Nm). Take the reading and record this value as Lo.Remove the dial indicator assembly carefully. This readingmay also be taken using an external bolt stretch gauge asdescribed in 9.6.5.9.6.10 Install the flange protector, weigh the assembly, andrecord the wei

36、ght as Wt.9.6.10.1 A separate dial indicator assembly (dial indicatormounted on adapter) will be required for each calibrated boltused in the test.9.7 Place the test rigs in the oven, and raise the temperatureso the test temperature is reached no sooner than in 30 min.Ideally, a temperature rate-of-

37、rise of 1C/min is preferred.NOTE 1The test can be run with the steam in contact with the gasketby locating the fixture in the oven with the liquid chamber down (steamphase). Another option is to allow the gasket to be in contact with the testliquid by reversing the fixture so the liquid chamber will

38、 be up (wetphase).NOTE 2The weekly steam cycle in Fig. 2 consists of two cyclesallowing time for the technician to take all the measurements in a normal5-day working week.9.8 After the indicated time at the chosen temperature, cooldown the oven to room temperature no sooner than 30 min.Ideally, a co

39、ol down rate of 1C/min is preferred.9.9 Remove the test rig from the oven and weigh it. Recordthe weight as Wr.9.10 Repeat the steps in 9.7-9.9 for a minimum of 10 cyclesand 1000 h. Test hours will include the ramp-up time for thefixture and the time held at temperature but not the cool-downtime. If

40、 Fig. 2 is followed, a 7-week test will comprise 1064 h.NOTE 3Cycles can vary from 9.7-9.10, provided there is an agree-ment between testing parties. Note any change from the default schedulein the report.9.11 After the final cycle is completed, measure and recordthe weight of the fixture, install t

41、he dial indicator adapter asdescribed in 9.6, take the reading, and record as Lf. Thisreading may also be taken using an external bolt stretch gaugeas described in 9.6.5.9.12 Dismantle the fixture, and record any relevant obser-vations.5Trucks, Dr. H.
