Stud Bolt Length Calculation Method Stud Bolt Length Calculation: Calculating the stud bolt length is one of the activities needed to be performed by the requisition engineer. The major factors which contribute towards the calculation of the stud bolt length are: Flange rating, dimensional standard, type & thickness of gasket gasket,, flange facing, sandwich type components (eg.spectacle blind, blind, wafer type valves etc.) As per Nonmandatory Appendices C of ASME B16.5 (2009), the Method for Calculating Stud Bolt Lengths is detailed below:

Method For Calculating Stud Bolt Length: The following equations were used in establishing dimension L as listed in various dimensional tables: LCSB = A + n LCMB= B + n For lapped joints, calculate stud bolt and machine bolt length as follows: (a) For ring joint groove facing LCSB= A + (pipe thickness for each lap) + n LCMB= B + (pipe thickness for each lap) + n (b) For other than ring joint facing LCSB= A − F + (Table C-1 thicknesses) + n LCMB= B − F + (Table C-1 thicknesses) + n

Where A = 2(t f + t + d ) + G + F − a (i.e., stud bolt length exclusive of negative length tolerance, n) a = zero, except where the small female face is on the end of pipe, a p 5 mm (0.19 in.) B = 2(t f + t ) + d + G + F + p − a (i.e., machine bolt length exclusive of negative tolerance, n) d = heavy nut thickness (equals nominal bolt diameter,see ASME B18.2.2) F = total height of facings or depth of ring joint groove for both flanges (see Table C-2) G = 3.0-mm (0.12 in.) gasket thickness for raised face, male and female, tongue and groove flanges; also approximate distance between ring joint flanges listed in Table 5 (Table II-5 of Mandatory Appendix II) LCMB= calculated machine bolt length as measured from underside of head to end of point LCSB= calculated stud bolt length (effective thread length, excluding end points) LSMB= specified machine bolt length (from under side of head to end, including end point), which is LCMB rounded off to the nearest 5-mm (0.25 in.)increment (see Fig. C-2) LSSB= specified stud bolt length (effective thread length, excluding end points), which is LCSBrounded off to the nearest 5-mm (0.25 in.) increment(see Fig. C-1) n = negative tolerance on bolt length (see Table C-3) p = allowance for height of point of machine bolt (1.5 times thread pitch) t = plus tolerance for flange thickness (see para. 7.4, ASME B16.5) t f= minimum flange thickness (see applicable dimensional tables)
