RE: Bolt Tightening Torque Calculations

I can't address the bolt torque issue, but reading some of the questions and requests, including this one, I must plead with all to include thorough design reviews, for instance at the 10%, 50-60% and 90% complete points. When I do a 90%-stage design review, I follow a protocol very similar to Process Hazards Analysis methodology (using, typically, a component by component analysis of Hazop questions). If you are designing a refinery or chemical plant you are asking for trouble (potentially a la Bhopal) if you don't do thorough, methodical, and recorded reviews using experienced and competent people.

I wish this mailing list can be my place to develop the ability of design process and requirement in piping.I am piping incharge for one of the refinery projects, can anybody help me bolt torque calculations.

I am an Indian and now I am working at Baroda.
