Minimum percentage compression Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Minimum Percentage Compression = 100*(1-(Width of u-collar/Uncompressed gasket thickness))
P_s = 100*(1-(b/h_i))
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Minimum Percentage Compression - Minimum Percentage Compression is defined as the least percentage of compression.
Width of u-collar - (Measured in Meter) - Width of u-collar is definied as the measurement or extent of u-collar from side to side.
Uncompressed gasket thickness - (Measured in Meter) - Uncompressed gasket thickness is gasket thickness which remains same after pressure is applied on flange.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Width of u-collar: 4.2 Millimeter --> 0.0042 Meter (Check conversion here)
Uncompressed gasket thickness: 6 Millimeter --> 0.006 Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

P_s = 100*(1-(b/h_i)) --> 100*(1-(0.0042/0.006))

Evaluating ... ...

P_s = 30

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

30 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

30 <-- Minimum Percentage Compression

Bolt Load given Modulus of Elasticity and Increment Length

Go Bolt Load in Gasket Joint = Modulus of Elasticity*Incremental Length in Direction of Velocity/((Length of joint 1/Area of cross section at the inlet)+(Length of joint 2/Area of cross section at the throat))

Twisting Moment given Flange Pressure

Go Twisting Moment = (Flange pressure*Gasket Area*Torque Friction Coefficient*Diameter of Bolt)/(2*Number of Bolts)

Flange pressure given Twisting moment

Go Flange pressure = 2*Number of Bolts*Twisting Moment/(Gasket Area*Torque Friction Coefficient*Diameter of Bolt)

Flange pressure developed due to tightening of bolt

Go Flange pressure = Number of Bolts*Bolt Load in Gasket Joint/(Gasket Area*Torque Friction Coefficient)

Gasket Area given Flange pressure

Go Gasket Area = Number of Bolts*Bolt Load in Gasket Joint/(Flange pressure*Torque Friction Coefficient)

Number of Bolts given Flange pressure

Go Number of Bolts = Flange pressure*Gasket Area*Torque Friction Coefficient/Bolt Load in Gasket Joint

Bolt Load given Flange pressure

Go Bolt Load in Gasket Joint = Flange pressure*Gasket Area*Torque Friction Coefficient/Number of Bolts

Width of u collar given uncompressed Gasket Thickness

Go Width of u-collar = ((Uncompressed gasket thickness)*(100-Minimum Percentage Compression))/100

Uncompressed gasket thickness

Go Uncompressed gasket thickness = (100*Width of u-collar)/(100-Minimum Percentage Compression)

Minimum percentage compression

Go Minimum Percentage Compression = 100*(1-(Width of u-collar/Uncompressed gasket thickness))

Nominal Bolt Diameter given Bolt Load

Go Nominal Bolt Diameter = 11*Initial bolt torque/Bolt Load in Gasket Joint

Initial Bolt Torque given Bolt Load

Go Initial bolt torque = Nominal Bolt Diameter*Bolt Load in Gasket Joint/11

Bolt load in gasket joint

Go Bolt Load in Gasket Joint = 11*Initial bolt torque/Nominal Bolt Diameter
