The load Fa shall be calculated based on the assumption that the bolt is subjected to a pure traction load, to a deflectio

32、n load resulting from flaring-out of the Ilanges caused by the bolting, and possibly to a torsion load generated by the means of tightening the bolt. 7 Means and equipment required for testing 7.1 Test rig Attention is drawn to European safety reguiations for the design and operation of the test rig

33、. It shall consist of two assembled spool pieces between which the gasket to be tested is positioned. The spools shall be fitted with branch-tees providing for - LNG SUpplY; -draining of the test rig; - pressurising of the test rig; - measurement of temperature and pressure of the gas or LNG contain

35、possible leakages. - a hydraulic tightener or torque wrench to tighten the bolts; - a micrometer graduated every 0,Ol mm to determine the bolting load when assembling the joint, or any other similar precision instrument; - a temperature probe to measure the gas or LNG temperature inside the test rig

36、; - a pressure transmitter or a mometer to measure the internal pressure of the rig; - a gas detector with a minimum threshold of at least 10 % of the methane low flammability limit in air to detect any gas leakage from the gasket during an LNG te* - a temperature probe arranged at the upper periphe

These loosening processes should be taken inta account when determining the bolting load which should in addition be compatible with the mechanical strength of the various components in the joint.
