Flanges and their joints - Bolting - Part 4: Selection of bolting for equipment subject to the Pressure Equipment Directive 2014/68/EU

This European Standard is applicable to the selection of bolting for equipment subject to the Pressure Equipment Directive 2014/68/EU.
It specifies standards and additional requirements for dimensions, materials and technical conditions of delivery for bolting.
The bolting selection covered by this European Standard is regarded to be used for combination with flanges according to the series EN 1092 (PN designated flanges) and the series EN 1759 (Class designated flanges).
The selection is based on commonly used materials, bolts and nuts. It covers temperature ranges of the general service of standard flanges (based on PN or Class).
NOTE 1   The bolting selection given may be used in combination with non-standard flanges too provided that the range of application of the equipment for which the bolting is intended to be used is covered. It is the purchaser's option to decide on this.
When selecting bolting according to this European Standard it is essential to take into account other parameters such as type of fluids, corrosion hazards and relaxation at elevated temperatures.
The purpose of this European Standard is to provide a selection of most commonly used bolting types and bolting material combinations as well a tool for easy selection of suitable bolting for equipment.
It is not the intention to specify all possible applications but to give guidance on the most commonly applications. According to this, e.g. application limits for material in the creep range are not explicitly covered in this European Standard but some bolting materials listed (see Table 3, footnote h) are suitable to be used in this temperature range. Wherever the starting material standard provides mechanical properties for this temperature range respective reference is made in Table 3.
NOTE 2   Special services and ambient conditions may require the application of coatings. It is the purchaser's option to decide on this. Depending on the coating used, a verification of the temperature ranges

Dieses Dokument ist anzuwenden für die Auswahl von Schrauben und Muttern für Flanschverbindungen bei Geräten, die der Druckgeräterichtlinie 2014/68/EU unterliegen.
Es legt Normen und zusätzliche Anforderungen an Maße, Werkstoffeigenschaften und technische Lieferbedingungen für Schrauben und Muttern fest.
ANMERKUNG 1 Unterlegscheiben liegen nicht im Anwendungsbereich dieses Dokuments.
Die Auswahl beruht auf allgemein gebräuchlichen Schrauben und Muttern. Sie umfasst übliche Temperaturbereiche für den allgemeinen Betrieb von Flanschen.
Bei der Auswahl von Schrauben und Muttern nach diesem Dokument ist es unerlässlich, Umgebungsbedingungen und weitere Parameter einschließlich der Art von Flüssigkeiten, Korrosions-gefährdungen, sauren Betriebsbereichen, Sprödbruch bei niedrigen Temperaturen und Relaxation bei erhöhten Temperaturen zu berücksichtigen.
Der Zweck dieses Dokuments ist es, eine Auswahl der gebräuchlichsten Arten und Werkstoffkombinationen von Schrauben und Muttern bereitzustellen.
Es ist nicht beabsichtigt, sämtliche möglichen Anwendungen festzulegen, sondern eine Leitlinie für die gebräuchlichsten Anwendungen bereitzustellen. Beispielsweise werden Anwendungsgrenzen von Werkstoffen im Zeitstandbereich in diesem Dokument nicht explizit behandelt. Wenn in einer Werkstoffnorm mechanische Eigenschaften für den Zeitstandbereich bereitgestellt werden, wird in Tabelle 3 darauf entsprechend verwiesen.
ANMERKUNG 2 Spezielle Betriebsbereiche und Umgebungsbedingungen können das Aufbringen von Beschichtungen erfordern. Die diesbezügliche Entscheidung liegt beim Besteller. In Abhängigkeit von der verwendeten Beschichtung kann eine Überprüfung der in Tabelle 3 und Tabelle 4 angegebenen Temperaturbereiche erforderlich sein.

Lors de la sélection de la boulonnerie conformément au présent document, il est essentiel de tenir compte des conditions environnementales et d'autres paramètres tels que le type de fluide, les risques de corrosion, les applications avec gaz acides, la rupture fragile à basse température et la relaxation à température élevée.
L’objectif du présent document est de fournir une sélection des types de boulonnerie et des combinaisons de matériaux de boulonnerie les plus couramment utilisés.
Il n’a pas vocation à spécifier toutes les applications possibles mais plutôt à fournir des lignes directrices sur les applications les plus courantes. Par exemple, les limites d'application pour les matériaux dans le domaine du fluage ne sont pas explicitement traitées dans le présent document. Lorsque la norme de matériau de base fournit des propriétés mécaniques pour le domaine du fluage, la référence est indiquée respectivement dans le Tableau 3.
NOTE 2   Des applications spéciales et des conditions à température ambiante peuvent exiger l’application de revêtements. Cette option est laissée à l’initiative de l’acheteur. En fonction du revêtement utilisé, une vérification des plages de température données dans le Tableau 3  et le Tableau 4 peut s’avérer nécessaire.
NOTE 3        Dans l'Annexe B, sont spécifiés des types de boulons et des combinaisons de matériaux de boulons selon les normes nationales communément utilisées autres que celles énumérées dans le Tableau 2, le Tableau 3 et

allowable stresses by safety factor 1,5.
5 Manufacturing
5.1 General
Final heat treatment is not necessary for bolting which are machined from adequate pre-treated bars.
The process of pre-treatment of bars is at the responsibility of the bolting manufacturer.
Generally cold forming (except rolling of external threads) requires a subsequent heat treatment.
However cold working is necessary and therefore permitted for austenitic stainless steel bolting in
accordance to property class 70 and for nuts in accordance to property classes 5 and 8, in order to
achieve hardness specifications and therefore post heat treatment is not allowed. Nuts should be
obtained, preferably, by forging. The internal thread of the nut will usually be machined.

5.2 Coating
The type of coating shall be specified in the purchase order (see Clause 8). The coating process is under
the responsibility of the bolting manufacturer and shall take into consideration confirmation of
achievement of the mechanical and dimensional properties of bolting, as appropriate.
The coating to be used for the bolting shall be appropriate for the foreseen service conditions.
NOTE 1 In general, bolting will be delivered:
• with a primary manufacture finish (slightly greased); or
• with an electrolytic coating in compliance with EN ISO 4042:2018; or
• hot galvanized in compliance with EN ISO 10684:2004;
• passivated according to EN ISO 16048:2003 (applicable for corrosion-resistant stainless-steel bolting
only).
• Fasteners with different types of coating shall not be mixed within one flanged connection.
• The upper and lower temperature limits of coatings, including the influence on fastener material must
be considered when specifying or using the coating.

1 Scope
This document is applicable to the selection of bolting for flanged joints on equipment subject to the
Pressure Equipment Directive 2014/68/EU.
It specifies standards and additional requirements for dimensions, material properties and technical
conditions of delivery for bolting.
NOTE 1 Washers are not within the scope of this document.
The selection is based on commonly used bolting. It covers common temperature ranges of the general
service of flanges.
When selecting bolting according to this document, it is essential to take into account environmental
conditions and other parameters including type of fluids, corrosion hazards, sour service, low
temperature brittle failure and relaxation at elevated temperatures.
The purpose of this document is to provide a selection of most commonly used bolting types and bolting
material combinations as well a tool for easy selection of suitable bolting for equipment.
It is not the intention to specify all possible applications but to give guidance on the most common
applications. For example, application limits for material in the creep range are not explicitly covered in
this document. Where material standard provides mechanical properties for the creep range, respective
reference is made in Table 3.
NOTE 2 Special services and ambient conditions could require the application of coatings. It is the purchaser's
option to decide on this. Depending on the coating used, a verification of the temperature ranges given in Table 3
and Table 4 could be required.

4 Selection of bolting types and materials
4.1 General
The selection of bolting types and bolting material combinations for a certain application shall consider
in addition to the requirements covered by this document, the range of application of the equipment for
which the bolting is intended to be used. The selection shall consider all service conditions including
maximum/minimum allowable temperature, required bolt load, tightening method and resultant
stresses, type of fluids, corrosion hazards and if applicable type and material of gasket.
Furthermore it shall be regarded that flanged joints shall remain tight under the expected operating
conditions. Other properties like residual magnetism and relaxation properties shall be evaluated by
the purchaser.
For selection of bolting types and bolting material combinations other than those listed in Table 2,
Table 3 and Table 4 according to commonly used national standards, see Annex B.
Requirements for combination of bolting and flange materials as given in some European Standards
such as EN 13480-3 or EN 13445-3 shall be observed by the user of this document.
The minimum yield strength, tensile strength, and creep of the bolting shall be suitable for the required
bolt load determined for the application and tightening method. Where there is a requirement
concerning the strength category for the bolting given in a flange standard, see EN 1092-1:2018,
EN 1759-1:2004, EN 13480-3:2017, or EN 13445-3:2014, then this shall be observed by the user of this
document.
