Flange Calculations and
Flange Calculation Software
Assembly calculation is important regarding the analysis of flanged joints. In any case, the assembly / mounting staff needs a
- tightening torque (pre-stress) value.
Additionally, the integrity of the joint has to be demonstrated by
- stress analysis
and – if there are frequent load transients – fatigue analysis. Additionally, a
- tightness analysis
has to be performed. Because of the complexity of the behavior of bolted flanged joints, only an iterative calculation procedure can lead to reliable results.
Flange Calculations as a Service
Flange calculations by 
are tailored to customers needs. If analytical approaches are convenient we use analytical calculation procedures, as provided by
- ASME
- EN
- VDI / DIN
If the application is complex
- Finite Element Analysis
is used as a tool. In all cases, our experience and our philosophy for joint integrity is the basis of the analysis.
Calculation Software
With the software TEMES fl.cal, a reliable tool for the calculation of bolted flanged joints based on the state of the art is available. It includes all actually relevant analytic calculation procedures as provided by:
- ASME
- EN
- VDI / DIN
The compliance of the software with codes and standards is certified.
Comprehensive databases are part of the package:
- geometries of flanges, bolts, gaskets
- materials of flanges, bolts
- gasket characteristics
expands these databases regularly; additionally, the user can create their own extensions to these databases.
