B) General requirements to Valve bolting

 

  1. Dimensions and shape
  2. Bolts:

    Threading shall be in accordance with ANSI B1.1, class 2A fit for diameters 1 inch and smaller (UNC series) and 8 pitch thread series for 1 1/8 inch and larger

     

    Nuts:

    Threading shall be in accordance with ANSI B1.1, UNC series for diameters 1 inch and smaller with a class 2B fit, and 8 UN series for diameter 1 1/8 inch and larger with a class 2B fit.

     

    Nuts shall be American national standard heavy HEX. series, double chamfered. Dimensions shall conform to ANSI B18.2.2.

     

  3. Surface protection
  4. All low alloyed steel bolts, nuts and washers shall be hot dipped galvanized according to ASTM A153.

    Specified dimensions shall be met after galvanizing. The zinc coating on threads shall not be subjected to cutting, rolling or finishing tool operation.

    Nuts may be tapped after galvanizing.

     

  5. Valve design rules for bolting.
  6. For valves that are required to comply with ASME B16.34, rules of par. 6.4. shall be complied with. Otherwise, allowable stress shall be evaluated according to ASME VIII div 1 or 2.

     

  7. Certification requirements

Where no MDS is referred to, certification shall be in accordance with EN10204 type 2.2.
