1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Scope
This Specification provides bolt torquing and tensioning requirements and installation procedures
for flanged connections in piping systems (plant piping/pipelines) and mechanical equipment.
Proper tightening of flange bolts is essential to ensure the leak tightness of a flanged joint. Insufficiently tightened bolts may jeopardize plant safety and may harm human life, environment and reputation. In addition, economic losses are of significance.
This Specification summarises the specific requirements from Piping classifications, referred in section 6. Furthermore the requirements of NAM work instruction for flange connectors and pipe clamp connectors, doc. no. EP 200902211244, rev. 10.1 [ref. 19] has been incorporated in this Specification.
1.2 Contradictions and discrepancies

Flange tightening by manual wrench
Flange tightening by hydraulic torque or
tensioning equipment
SSVV/ VOMI Code H-WFPr-PC-0111 M‐TT‐VOMI‐0113 or H-WFPrTT-PC-0215
VCA Examination Centres outside of the Netherlands The examinations can be held outside of the Netherlands. For more information, please contact the Accredited Examination Centres. The examination centres can be found at http://www.vcainfra.nl/examencentra.
In addition to the by legislation mandatory training and certification all mechanics shall follow the following additional training: NAM approved training companies with corresponding courses (random sequence)
Description
Flangeconnect Flensmonteur Vaktechniek Dijkgraaf Support B.V. Flange Integrity Management
(EN 1591-4)*
Others Consult NAM *) Recommended for supervisors, work preps, engineers. NOT for mechanics. With the training “Flensmonteur Vaktechniek” the certificate according WFPr-PC-0111 can be achieved. This prevents two separate courses are required and ref. certificate can be renewed/extended.
Unless specifically mentioned the standard validity of the training is 5 years. After this period a new training needs to be followed or alternatively ‘refresher’ training should be done.
Fitters and technicians working on the tightening of flange connections shall be able to demonstrate their certification without delaying the work.
During execution of the work with hydraulic equipment with two persons, both these persons shall meet the mentioned trainings / competence requirements.
Specifically for maintenance work on Freon cooling equipment it is stated that, in addition to the above mentioned training requirements, only “F- gasses” (previously STEK) certified technicians (or technicians under supervision of a “F-gasses” certified person) are allowed to perform maintenance tasks.
4.2 Pre-bolt inspection and flange/gasket assembly
• For the mounting of threaded connections reference is made to Work Instruction NAM72WI4314 and Appendix 9.
Doc. No. : EP201503208231 Date : 9-9-2016
Rev. : A Page : 6 of 49

GLT- PLUS
• Process isolation and dismounting of flanges (including spectacle blinds and spades) is included within the scope of this instruction. However, for the detailed instructions related to isolation itself, refer to the NAM working instruction ‘Installaing and removing isolations’ [13]. The same materials, torque values, and bolting procedure need to be met when torquing bolts for isolation purposes, unless the safeguarding plan specifies different requirements.
• The Bolt torque/tensioning report (Appendix 1) must be completed for all flanges before start of the work and shall be filled out during the work and kept at the work site by the mechanic.
• All flange connections shall be ‘tagged’ (applied with a physical label placed on or near the flange), see appendix 1 for an example and specific details.
• ‘Hot bolting’, the replacement of individual bolts with the system still containing process or utility fluids under pressure, is a potentially hazardous operation and within asset Groningen this is not allowed.
• Prior to bolt torquing / tensioning a set of questions should be answered ,see appendix 6 for a specific checklist based on Shell Flawless Start-up approach.
• Bolts and threaded studs can be re-used, but only if the stud thread and the nut are still functional without visible damage and / or fretting on the thread. The nut shall able to be turned smoothly on the thread without lubrication and the condition shall be near to as new. Maximum elongation measured with a calibre shall not be more than 2%. Before re-use the threads of the studs and nuts shall be brushed clean.
• The bolt length shall be such that 2 or 3 threats are protruding from the nut (torqueing). For bolt tensioning, an additional length of a least 1 time the bolt diameter is accounted for.
• Clean the flange face surfaces and grooves and check that they are in good condition: acceptance criteria according to appendix 4.1.For pipe clamp connectors refer to appendix A5.18.
• Flanges must be aligned prior to assembly; criteria are specified in appendix 4.2. Use of centring pins is allowed.
• Use the prescribed bolts, gaskets and/or sealing rings accordance with the relevant pipe class and or design standard. - for ring joints: check material via marking on the ring and colour coding as outlined in appendix 2. See also leaflet in appendix 10. - for pipe clamp connector seal rings: check material via marking on seal ring or via specification as specified in appendix 3. Warning: colour coding may not be reliable. - for spiral wound gaskets: verify both inner and outer ring material. - Check bolt material B7 or L7 bolt & 2H nut for sweet gas applications. Identification of
material coding is specified on the bolt top face and side face of the nut. • Do not re-use gaskets (of any type). Exception: the seal rings of Pipe Clamp Connectors,
but only when not damaged or scratched (see also appendix A5.18) • Use the prescribed graphite grease as a lubricant (e.g. Molycote P1000) on the threads of the
bolts and nuts, as well as on the surface between nut and flange (to ensure a controlled friction value). Note: The use of lubricants containing molybdenum disulphide like Molycote 3694 or Molycote G-N plus are not permitted (this can result in sulphide stress corrosion in the bolt material).
• Ring joints shall be lightly greased with suitable grease to prevent galling of the flange/ring material surfaces.
• Use the correct tightening tools as specified in appendix 5. Tighten the bolts according to the procedure as described in appendix 5.
• During tightening, ‘flogging’ of bolts using impact wrenches is not allowed. For dismounting, specific instructions (tools and procedures) are given in appendix 8.
• Flange and flange connectors must be protected from corrosion as described in “Protection of flange and pipe connectors from corrosion” on para. 4.6.
• The procedure with respect to preparation and execution of tightening pipe clamp connectors is specified in appendix A5.18.
4.3 Stud bolt torquing
Bolt torquing shall be applied in accordance with tables in appendix 5.

4.4 Bolt tensioning
Bolt tensioning shall be applied in accordance with tables in appendix 5.
4.5 Flange face alignment
Flange face alignment shall comply with DEP 31.38.01.31-Gen, see Appendix 4 of this specification [11].
4.6 Protection of flanges and flange connectors against corrosion
Maintenance of new and existing flanged connections (-20°C to 120°C)
type of flange
‘non-fixed' flanges: flanges which are unlikely to be disassembled
over a period exceeding the major shutdown intervals (6 years for
Asset Groningen)
‘fixed' flanges: flanges which are unlikely to be dissembled (and/or
permanent flanges)
Conservation of bolts and nuts on the outside of the flange (or clamp)
Application of the wax-coating system on bolt and nut (including locally damaged outer surfaces of
the flange itself) or: repair of the original coating
Application of organic coating (paint) system on bolt and nut
(including locally damaged outer surfaces of the flange itself)
or: repair of the original coating
conservation of space in between
the flanges
For both fixed and non-fixed flanges: conservation of the space between the flanges including the threads (where reachable) using the
wax-coating system (aerosol spray can).
Remark: Despite the enhanced corrosion resistance, the recently introduced „zinc plated‟ bolts
and nuts also need to be conserved according to the table above.
The preferred option for protection of carbon steel bolts and nuts is to paint according to system FC2-N/M in accordance with external coating specification, doc. no. EP201503208225 [17]. Paint should be applied if the flange connection is not taken apart more frequent than once every two years.
For temporary (up to 2 years) protection of new and existing connectors (up to 120°C) the following procedure should be applied:
Apply a wax-coating system on the bolts and nuts (including locally damaged outer surfaces of flanges). Apply a wax coating system for protection of the space between the flanges (including the threads). One of the following WAX Coatings shall be applied:
Option 1: Corroless CCI400 - 100 µm DFT Option 2: Layer 1: T-558-AMC primer - 50µm DFT
Layer 2: T-127-CGW 200µm DFT Instruction for applying wax-coating (after flange mounting and tightening):
- Degrease if necessary, and remove corrosion from bolts and nuts and/or the space between flanges as thoroughly as possible, special attention to the removal of corrosion scales is a requirement

Rev. : A Page : 8 of 49
01266239/Rev.A/01222008
GLT- PLUS
- When using spray application, apply wax by aiming aerosol can at nuts and the space between flanges (including threats).
- When using Tectyl brush application, apply a primer layer (Valvoline Tectyl 558-AMC). Allow to dry for at least 20 minutes before applying the final layer (Valvoline Tectyl 127 CGW)
Use of tape: With pipe systems that contain Freon, the flanges are wrapped with tape in order to detect Freon leakages. With other piping systems, permanent wrapping with tape is not permitted because of the danger of moisture of accumulation. Corrosion protection by taping is not permitted.
Maintenance of flanged connections > 120°C or < -20°C Flange connectors of pipe systems with an operating temperature exceeding 120°C or below -20°C should be protected according to the coating specification, doc. no. EP201503208225 [17] or based on specific advice from the Materials & Corrosion Department.

5.0 QUALITY ASSURANCE
5.1 Tool calibration
The calibration of torque wrenches and tensioners shall be checked against the manufacturer's
specifications upon receipt. Any tools that are out of calibration shall be rejected. Calibration period maximum 1 year.
A recheck of the calibration shall be made as per tool manufacturer standard. Any tool found to be out of calibration shall immediately be taken out of service for repair.
All flanged joints secured with tools found to be defective shall be rechecked with a properly functioning tool.
5.2 Flange Registration and labelling requirements
A flange registration form (Appendix A1.1) must be completed for all flanges so that the work carried out can be verified and recorded according to the quality system.
In addition, all flange connections shall be „tagged‟ (applied with a physical label placed on or
near the flange), see appendix A1.2 for an example and specific details. Above requirements are valid for all activities related to breaking and make-up of flanges; construction (new projects), major shutdowns, preventive and corrective maintenance activities. Although dismounting of flanges for process isolation purposes is included within the scope of this instruction, the specific requirements with respect to the registration and labelling of spades and spectacle blinds during isolation are not specified in this instruction. For this specific activity refer to the NAM working instructions “Installing and removing isolations” [13] and “Locking and tagging for process, instrumented and electrical isolations” [14]. In Freon cooling installations all flanged connection are already provided with an unique number as recorded on a scheme which is available in the logbook at site.
Handling problems or deviations If defects are ascertained during assembly or disassembly, the manager or supervisor on-site should be notified about them immediately. For example: in the case of corrosion or damage to gaskets or flanges or severe misalignments of the flanges. If the work involves deviation from or the work is not within its scope, a plan of action must be drawn up. The plan must be submitted to GLT-PLUS/NAM (Discipline Mechanical Static) for review/approval. The plan should contain the following:
• Details of flange connector (materials, type of gasket, sizes, etc)
• Method of execution / procedure
• Equipment to be used
• A calculation to determine the required bolt load including the calculated bolt torque values.
Harmful substances
• During the disassembly of flange connectors, measures must be taken to collect any possible leaked fluids.
• Disassembly of flange connectors with asbestos-containing gasket materials (type CAF – Compressed Asbestos Fibres and SWAF – Spiral Wound Asbestos Filled) can be done with taken the specific requirements into account, see reference [15].

Application This instruction, and it’s parts, apply to flange connectors of the following types:
• ASME B16.5 flanges
• ASME B16.47 flanges, Series A
• API 6A flanges
• Compact flanges (Destec/Flange-plus)
• Clamp connector
5.3 Application of Global Piping Classes
This work instruction also applies also to flange connections selected from the global piping classes (DEP 31.38.01.15-Gen). The following attention points shall be taken into account:
• Global Piping Classes only contain spiral wound gaskets
• The torque values apply for all bolt materials stated in the appendix A5.2.
• The split between (hydraulic) torque wrench and tensioning is different. The length of the stud bolts are longer for certain pressure / diameter combination to incorporate for this requirement. See DEP 31.38.01.31-Gen. section 3.12.4.
• Bolts that have extra length for tensioning are not supplied with a 3rd
nut.
• The torque values from DEP 31.38.01.31-Gen appendix 6 (issue Feb 2014) shall not be used.
• Teflon coated stud bolts and nuts shall not be used.
5.4 Making up of problematic flange connections (bad actors)
The following tools and methods are available for making up problematic flange connections that repeatedly fail in service. The below may only be used after approval of the GLT-PLUS/NAM Discipline Engineer Mechanical Static.
• Kamm profile gasket instead of RTJ ring when the RTJ groove is damaged or when connecting a RTJ flange to a RF flange.
• Application of special washer like the “Hytorc Washer”.
• Application of special bolts like the James Walker Rotabolt.

A1.2 Flange “labeling” (tagging) example
By mounting a label („tag‟) on the flanged connection, the entire working process (assembly, tightening,
leak testing) is recorded and clearly visible. This reduces the risk on (future) flange leakages which could occur by incidentally skipping one or more of the several steps in the flange mounting procedure. An example of such a flange label is shown below. Remarks: 1. Although this format is preferred as “best practice”, it is recognised that alternatives for this label are
also possible (stickers, plastic labels without removable parts, etc.).
2. Minimum requirement of alternative labels is:
- The label should be physically connected to or placed on the corresponding flange
- The flange technician should sign off the label and also mark the corresponding torque value or bolt preload value [torque value in Nm and preload value in kN] on the label.
Example of flange labelling: Step 0: Connection of the label on the flange, as part of the preparation of a plant shutdown.
The removed labels should be stored/archived with the corresponding flange registration form. As a good practice, also the final remaining (white) tag should be removed at the end of the maintenance/shutdown activities and kept together with the other label parts.
Step 3: Fill in and remove after successful leak testing (e.g. nitrogen test) by Operations.
Step 2: Fill in and remove of this label after the bolts/studs have been tightnened with the correct torque / force by the flange technician / torquing crew
Step 1: Fill in and remove of this label after the flange has been aligned and applied with the correct gasket. Bolts/nuts already present but only hand tightened.

A2.2 Spiral wound gaskets New spiral wound gaskets should consist of a stainless steel inner ring and outer ring. (consistent with NAM Piping class [2], modification in place since 2005). For existing rings it is known that different variants with regards to inner and outer ring material are still present. The colour coding on the outside ring of a spiral wound gasket is consistent with ASME B16.20. For the new NAM standard (stainless steel inner and outer ring) the colour coding is green with gray stripes. For the Shell Global piping classes the material of the inner and outer ring is based on the pipe material of the piping class. For CS piping classes the outer ring is CS, For corrosive resistance materials the outer ring is CS or SS as per details of the applicable piping class.

Warning: from previous NAM experience it is found that the color codings of the different seal ring suppliers are not always consistent and therefore can deviate from the intended NAM specifications. For this reason, always check the actual material coding stamped on the seal ring or check via the material specification documentation included with the seal ring.

Appendix 4: Criteria for flange face condition and flange alignment 4.1 Condition of the flange facing („raised face” and/or RTJ) A visual check is always required prior to mounting. The inspection should aim for: - Damage or scratches (especially radial grooves: no deeper than 0.3 mm and/or longer than 3 mm) - Presence of corrosion / pitting of the flange face - Gasket themselves should be free from any visible defects (new condition) and shall never be reused. Remark: In practice, during maintenance, normally no detailed check is done focusing on the levelness of the gasket face. Only in exceptional cases a detailed check may be required when: - There is a specific concern regarding the condition of the facing - The flange facing has just been re-machined - Repeated flange leakages have occurred without a clear cause In case of doubt the GLT-PLUS QC department and/or GLT-PLUS/NAM discipline engineer should be consulted. Criteria for out of flatness Less than 0,2 mm measured over the width of the sealing area (B).
Criteria for out of plane
Less than 0,2 mm
4.2. Types of alignment Two types of alignment are recognised:
a. Lateral alignment, that is the off-set of the aligned flange centrelines, applicable to the complete flange set as well as the relative positioning of bolt holes.
b. Parallelism of the aligned flange faces, sometimes referred to as angular alignment.
4.3 Set up prior to measurement The flanges shall be lined up so that the bolts can be inserted without force. A gasket and 25 percent of the bolts (with at least four) shall be inserted. The bolts shall be uniformly fastened using manual spanners to take out the free slack, to ensure the real misalignment will be measured.

4.4 Acceptance criteria for misalignment 4.4.1 Lateral alignment For standard flanges, the free insertion of the bolts is generally sufficient to demonstrate acceptable alignment. Lateral alignment may also be checked by laying a straight edge along the outside diameter of the flange. Measurements should be taken at locations 90° apart around the flange circumference. The measured lateral misalignment shall not exceed the following values:
Pipe Size Maximum misalignment
≤ DN 100 (NPS 4) 2 mm
> DN 100 (NPS 4) 3 mm
Bolt holes shall straddle the natural centreline unless specified otherwise. The maximum deviation from the required theoretical bolt hole position, as measured along the bolt circle, shall be 1.5 mm. 4.4.2 Parallelism Flange face alignment shall be checked by measuring the distance between the mating flanges of the pre-assembled joint. Measurements shall be taken around the circumference at equal distances from the centre line (the outside rim of the flange will normally be the most convenient position). The difference between the measurements shall not exceed the following values:
a. ASME B16.5 flanges, all sizes, all ratings:
2.5 mm/m NOTE: This is more stringent than the ASME B31.3 requirement of 5 mm/m but it has been found realistic to achieve these
limits with little or no additional manufacturing effort.
Table 4.1 give these values computed for the flange outside diameter.
b. ASME B16.47 flanges, all sizes, all ratings:
1.75 mm/m absolute (regardless of the diameter), measured along the outside diameter of the flange. Tables 4.2 give these values computed for measurements along the flange outside diameter.
c. Flanged pipe spools
The misalignment tolerances given in (a) and (b) above apply to pairs of pre-assembled flanges. For the terminal flange of a pipe spool, the misalignment can only be measured as the deviation from the design plane. Instead of simply halving the allowed tolerance for pre-assembled flanges, allowance should be made for the possibility that the misalignment of an individual flange can be in either direction and the misalignment of its eventual mating flange may compensate. Therefore, a statistical factor is appropriate, so that for the terminal flange of a pipe spool the deviation from the design plane
shall not exceed , where M is the allowable misalignment for the pre-assembled flanges as given in (a) and (b) above.
d. Flanged accessories
Accessories are flanged items which are rigid in themselves (e.g., valves, strainers, etc.). The individual flange face misalignment from the design plane shall not exceed 2.5 mm/m. Also, the misalignment of the two flange faces shall not exceed 2.5 mm/m.
e. Face alignment for flange-less components (e.g., wafer type control valves, sandwiched between flanges): Misalignment as per (a) and (b) above.
f. Nozzle faces on static equipment.
Alignment of nozzle flange face with the indicated plane shall be within 0.5° in any direction. NOTE: This tolerance is in line with that specified in DEP 31.22.00.31-Gen.
g. Flanges connecting to rotating equipment (pumps, compressors, etc.)

The flange face alignment check shall be performed with bolting inserted loosely, and the acceptance criteria shall be as given below:
Flange diameter Maximum misalignment at OD of flange
< DN 300 (NPS 12) 0.2 mm
DN 300 to DN 600
(NPS 12 to NPS 24) 0.3 mm
≥ DN 600 (NPS 24) 0.5 mm
NOTE: The above figures are the practical implementation of the tolerances specified in the relevant rotating equipment DEP
(i.e. 0.05° in all directions).
Table 4.1 ASME B16.5 flanges, all sizes, all ratings (SI Units) Maximum flange face misalignment at outside diameter of flange:
• for a pre-assembled joint, maximum difference in measured values (M) = 2.5 mm/m
• for an individual flange, maximum difference to design plane (N) = mm/m

(2): Bolt tensioning is specialist activity. Specific advice with respect to working procedures, tools and materials is beyond the scope of this working instruction. For the prescribed bolt forces / bolt stresses refer to Appendix A5.3. For tightening, ‘flogging’ of bolts using impact wrenches (ring or open impact spanner) is not allowed, see Appendix 8 for details.

Notes: 1) Torque Values based on friction coefficient µ=0.13 when applying Molycote 1000. 2) In practice bolts size 1” and larger are tightened using hydraulic torque wrenches. 3) For bolt sizes 1 5/8” and larger strain controlled hydraulic bolt tensioning shall be used. 4) It is recognized that especially for carbon steel flanges the leak tightness of the Pikotek gasket can be problematic
as a result of corrosion of the flange face. For those cases, the RTJ gasket is still an accepted choice. In parallel, an improved type of gasket is being developed for the future NAM piping classes called the “Pikotek tandem” which contains two active seals. This future standard is considered to provide the best solution for these problematic flanges. For additional advice GLT-PLUS/NAM Maintenance Engineering (Discipline Mechanical Static) can be consulted.
5) For other bolt materials consult GLT-PLUS/NAM Discipline Engineering Mechanical Static.
6) Torque figures are only applicable for standard ASME RF and RTJ flanges.

Seq. Nr.
Omschrijving Check
1.0 Algemeen 1,1 TRA's uitgevoerd en op locatie aanwezig? 1,2 Werkvergunning aanwezig en getekend? 1,3 Toolbox meeting uitgevoerd, door wie? 1,4 Zijn alle betrokken inspecteurs op locatie aanwezig?
2.0 Voorbereidingen - demontage 'Quick closure'
2.1 Afschermen van de bodem onder V-4X03 met plastic en plaats een opvangbak (Zorg er voor de beschikbaarheid van kolkzuiger).
2.2 Verwijder de trap naast V-4X03 tijdelijk om de bereikbaarheid te vergroten.
2.3 Plaats een rolsteiger aan de linkerzijde van de V-4X03 om het loshalen van de jukken (pos 3, fig. 1) te vergemakkelijken.
2.4 Veiligstellen van het drukvat (drukvrij opleveren).
2.5 Controleren van de drukwaarschuwingsklep (DWK) door 1/2 tot 1 slag open te draaien, pas nadat er geen overdruk meer aanwezig is kan de bronzen moer geheel verwijderd worden.
2.6 Registreer voor demontage van de jukken (pos 3, fig. 1 ) de sluitmaten met een gekalibreerde schuifmaat. Noteer de waarde op het registratieformulier.
Vanaf dit moment dient te worden gewerkt met volgelaat masker en filter bussen laarzen en wegwerp overalls.
3.0 Demontage/Montage - 'Quick closure' (uitvoering)
3.1 Demontage - 'Quick closure' (uitvoering) 1)
3.1.1 Draai de twee borgbouten (pos 2, fig. 1) onder en boven los en verwijder ze uit de jukken (pos 3, fig. 1). 3.1.2 Smeernippels doorsmeren met grafietvet (indien de smeernippels niet gangbaar of verroest zijn, dan vervangen).
3.1.3
Draai de spindelbouten gelijkmatig (pos 5, fig. 1) los, zodanig dat de schroefdraad van de nippel (DWK) niet wordt beschadigd (juk parallel houden). Let op de draad stang heeft linkse en rechtse draad afhankelijk van de positie waar de monteur staat zal hij linksom dan wel rechtsom moeten draaien om de jukken los te krijgen. Dit kan uitgevoerd worden met een luchtgedreven moersleutel.
3.1.4 Draai de spindel (pos 5, fig. 1) net zover los totdat de jukken (pos 3) geheel vrij komen te liggen. Zorg er voor dat het linker juk over de nippel van drukwaarschuwingsklep (DWK) geschoven kan worden.
3.1.5 Einde demontage werkzaamheden voor Stork M&P. Reym maakt onder volledige persoonlijke bescherming de 'quick closure' van V-4X03 open.
3.2 Montage - 'Quick closure' (uitvoering) 1)
3.2.1 Controleer of de pakkinggroef van de V-4X03 goed schoon is (geen zand, vuil, enz). Indien dit niet het geval is pakking groef reinigen met scotch brite zodat er geen vuil meer aanwezig is.
3.2.2 Controleer de pakkinggroef op eventuele beschadigingen.
3.2.3 Controleer of de 'quick closure' goed schoon is (geen zand, vuil, enz). Indien dit niet het geval is, groef reinigen met scotch brite zodat er geen vuil meer aanwezig is.
3.2.4 Controleer de 'quick closure' op eventuele beschadigingen; licht invetten van de corresponderende oppervlakten en spindel.
3) 4)
3.2.5 Lagerringen (of collar) vastzetten op spindelbout d.m.v. 3 (120
o) nieuwe inbusbouten in verzonken 5 mm uitsparingen in
de spindelbout (4 ringen totaal per Quick closure).
3.2.6 Pakkinggroef invetten met zuurvrije vaseline voordat de O-ring wordt geplaatst; plaats de O-ring.
3.2.7 Breng de 'Quick closure' in positie. Stel m.b.v. de nastelboutjes (pos 4, fig. 1) de 'Quikclosure' na (indien nodig), zodat deze goed centraal voor het vat is gepositioneerd.
3.2.8 Plaats het linker juk (pos 3) voorzichtig over de nippel van de drukwaarschuwingklep (DWK). Houd nu ook weer rekening met linkse en rechtse schroefdraad.
3.2.9
Draai gelijkmatig de spindels (pos 5, fig. 1) aan. Het is belangrijk dat de beide jukken (pos 3, fig. 1) evenwijdig naar elkaar getrokken worden. Controleer op regelmatige basis de onder- en bovenmaat van de sluitmaat. Deze waarden moeten parallel mee lopen. Gelijkmatig aanhalen van de spindels met luchtsleutel totdat een max sluitmaat van 35 mm is bereikt, daarna verder aanhalen met hydraulisch torquer in stappen op vereist moment.
1)
3.2.10 Registreer na montage van de jukken (pos3, fig. 1 ) de sluitmaten met een gekalibreerde schuifmaat. Noteer de waarde op het registratieformulier.
1)
3.2.11 Breng de borgbouten met moeren (pos 2, fig. 1) weer aan (handvast). 3.2.12 Monteer drukwaarschuwingsklep (DWK) volgens tekening.
3.2.13 Alle bouten en moeren goed invetten en plaats de beschermhulzen weer over de spindels. 3)
3.2.14 Smeernippels doorsmeren met grafietvet en afdoppen.

Notes: 1) Indien er zich problemen voordoen met betrekking tot het openen en sluiten van de quick
closures, of wanneer tijdens de inspecties onvolkomenheden van de quick closures gesignaleerd worden, dan dient men zich te vervoegen tot de Engineer Installed Base voor verdere stappen.
2) Voor elke Filter Separator dient een separaat Stappenplan ingevuld en afgetekend te worden. 3) Schroefdraad van bouten/spindels en moeren moet voor montage met grafietvet worden gesmeerd.
Na montage moeten de moeren en de uitstekende draadeinden met grafietvet worden geconserveerd en voorzien van een speciale beschermkap. Het toepassen van een MoS2 (Molybdeen Disulphide) houdend smeermiddel is niet toegestaan.
4) De juk groeven dienen met Molykote separator spray olie (geen Molybdeen Disulphide (MoS2) houdend) te worden ingevet.
Fig. 1 Samenstelling Quick Closure V-4X03
Fig. 2 Druk Waarschuwingsklep (DWK) - V-4X03
Druk Waarschuwingsklep (DWK): Op het linker juk is aan de rompzijde een plaat gelast waarin een gat geboord is. Op de romp van het drukvat is een nippel gelast die door het gat in de plaat steekt als de jukken correct worden aangedraaid. Het uiteinde van de nippel is als een zitting uitgevoerd. Op deze nippel wordt een Druk Waarschuwingsklep (DWK) gemonteerd. Deze DWK bestaat uit een bronzen moer met een stalen klepje dat met een splitpen geborgd wordt.
Na sluiting van de snelsluiting (quick closure) dient de DWK te worden aangebracht en de wartel van deze klep met een momentsleutel te worden aangehaald.

A5.17 Tightening sequence clamp connectors (when applying a mechanical or a hydraulic torque wrench)
[photo: Destec] A5.17.1 Preparation of PCC’s • The seal ring itself can be re-used (in contradiction to other type of flange gaskets). For the correct
material coding of the seal ring refer to Appendix 3. Note the warning on possible colour coding errors!
• PCC’s are particularly sensitive to damage of the sealing surface. Check if the seal ring and the conical sealing surfaces of the hub are fully clean and free from scratches, corrosion or other types of damage.
• Ensure that the two mating hubs are properly aligned relative from each other. • Prior to mounting the clamp the gap (‘stand- off’) between the seal ring and the flange facing should be
checked as indicated in the figure below (use a finger to press: close the clearance on one side and measure the gap using the feeler gauge on the opposite side). For the stand-off criteria refer to the vendor instructions.
• When using standard bolts (either black or ‘zinc plated’) the bolts and nuts need to be greased prior to
assembling with Molycote 1000. When using teflon-coated bolts this is not required. • Also, the conical surfaces of the pipe clamp hubs should be greased according to the vendor
instructions. The (default) lubricant Molycote 1000 can be used for this.
• Mount the PCC according to the procedure as specified in section 6.2 with the torque target values (100% values) as specified in section 6.3 of this working instruction.

A5.17.2 Tightening sequence PCC’s
• Tighten the bolting in a criss-cross pattern (i.e. bolt #1, #3, #2, #4) while keeping the spacing between
the clamp halves approximately equal.
• Repeat in 3 steps: 30%, 60% and 100% of the target value
• Final additional step: clockwise sequence (each adjacent bolt) on 100% of the target value
• Repeat this final step until nuts no longer turn.
A5.17.3 Dismounting PCC’s
• Verify that the piping or flexible is de-pressurised. Be aware of potential residual stresses or
supporting forces, which could result in sudden dynamic movement of the piping or flexible during or after dismounting.
• Relieve the tension in the individual bolts in a cross pattern, but remain the full nut on the thread.
• Relieve the clamp parts from the hub gently using a hammer with a soft (rubber) head.
• Turn the nuts further and relieve the clamp segments further until they are released from the seal ring and the clamp segments are free to move / rotate.
• Finally remove the bolts, nuts, clamp halfs and seal ring completely.

Appendix 8: Use of impact wrenches and pneumatic wrenches
• During tightening of stud bolts the use of hand wrenches such as open spanners or ring spanners is not allowed. Only in cases where the use of a mechanical torque wrench is not possible due to limited space available the use of alternative tools is permitted. See also appendix 5 for the correct tools for tightening.
• During dismounting of flanges the use of impact spanners should be avoided; where possible use an alternative such as a ring spanner, a pneumatic wrench or hydraulic equipment.
Specifically for dismounting of flanges the following instructions apply:
1. Only use a pneumatic wrench or hydraulic equipment if there is sufficient space available. Stay
away from the reaction arm. Reed the vendors instructions carefully and follow them. 2. To avoid rotation of the nut a backup wrench (see photo’s, also called ‘react back-up spanner’)
is a recommended tool to use. This can be applied for varying nut sizes. Use of this tool minimizes the risk of injuries to hands.
Examples of backup wrenches (various types / suppliers)
3. Incidentally, impact wrenches may be used when nuts cannot be dismounted using the
recommended tools. (corroded nuts or difficult to reach). However, it is not allowed to ‘flog’ these impact wrenches for a sustained period intensively. For those cases other alternatives should be considered to dismount the nuts from the studs (stronger tool, sawing, cutting or using a ‘nut splitter’).
4. During dismounting open impact wrenches (open impact spanner) are not allowed. Ring impact spanners are however permitted. Open impact spanners have a higher risk on spring back and a higher risk on getting loose suddenly. Only in exceptional cases, after approval of the HMI/LVP of the location, a deviation is allowed, but only when the additional instructions as mentioned below are followed and it is explicitly mentioned on the ‘Permit to Work’

Additional instructions when using impact wrenches
If dismounting of bolts and nuts is only possible using impact wrenches, use the following precautions: 1. Ensure sufficient light and space is available on the working place. 2. Ensure the working place is clean and tidy (no risk on tripping / slipping). 3. Secure and mark the working place to avoid others getting hit. 4. If needed use a bucket to contain possible spills. 5. Check the impact wrenches:
a. No sharp metal pieces due to mechanical damage on the tool b. The impact wrench should not be greasy c. Use a finger-saver tool connected to the wrench which is properly d. The wrench should have the correct size to match the nut size 6. Execute the work with at least 2 persons. Hold the finger-saver tightened during hammering on the wrench and clearly indicate to the other person when starting to hammer. 7. Avoid body parts in de ‘line-of-fire’. 8. Take rest regularly to ease the muscles.
