2. Tighten the bolts and nuts (see Table 3-1).
Note
• Re-tighten after 24 hours and again after the first temperature
cycle.
• Check at regular intervals and re-tighten if necessary.
3.2 Torque specifications
The conditions used for the calculation are:
• Standard mating metal flange
• A193 B8M Cl.2 / A4-70 bolt material
• Friction coefficient of μ=0.16
Low strength bolt and non-metallic mating flange may require lower
tightening torque.
