Flange Bolts
Flowtube sizes and torque values for Class 150 and Class 300 flanges
are listed in Table 2-3. Tighten flange bolts in the incremental sequence
shown in Figure 2-11.
Model 8705 Correct flange bolt tightening is crucial for proper flowtube operation and
life. All bolts must be tightened in the proper sequence to the specified
torque limits. Failure to observe these instructions could result in severe
damage to the flowtube lining and possible flowtube replacement.
Always check for leaks after tightening flange bolts. All flowtubes
require a second torquing 24 hours after initial flange bolt tightening.
