Solon Manufacturing Company


Since its inception in 1949 in Solon, Ohio, Solon Manufacturing Company has engineered products for
industry worldwide. Solon has exercised sound engineering skills from the beginning with the development
of the Solon Relief Valves used most notably on John Glenns spacesuit on his historic orbit of the earth
in 1962. Solons competence and reliability continues today in the production of Solon Belleville Springs
and Solon Industrial Controls.

Experience
Solon expanded its manufacturing of Belleville springs shortly after moving to its current location
in Chardon, Ohio in 1960. Solon Flange Washers were designed in 1968 for use in flange bolting in
cryogenic, hydrocarbon and petro-chemical industries. Through the 1970s and 1980s additional materials were added to the Belleville spring product line to answer the needs of temperature extremes, corrosion and magnetism. During the early 1990s, Solon continued to test other possible materials and protective coatings that would enhance its Belleville spring product line. Today, Solon manufactures a wide
variety of standard and metric sizes using many different materials and protective coatings.

Quality
Solons highest priority is its commitment to quality. The Solon Manufacturing Quality Assurance
System has been utilized for many years and is now based upon the principals and ideals of several
international quality standards. Solon is committed to manufacturing high quality Belleville springs for use
in simple bolting to the most complex bolting applications.

Service
Our highly trained engineering and customer service staff are always available to assist with difficult
technical questions. Solon also produces specials not listed in this catalog to meet the unique needs
of our customers. Solon is committed to supplying the highest quality of service and customer support.
Our Can Do attitude produces reliability of product, delivery and service.

Solon Belleville Springs - Technical Notes


Belleville Springs

1250

Belleville springs are used in a variety of applications


where high spring loads are required. They are particularly
useful where vibration, differential thermal expansion,
relaxation, and bolt creep are problems.

1000

Load

Belleville spring, disc spring, conical compression


washer are all names for the same type of spring (Figure
1). A Belleville spring is a conical shaped disc that will
deflect (flatten) at a given rate. This spring rate is usually
very high, allowing the spring to produce very large loads
in a very small space.

Belleville springs can be stacked in four different ways


(Figure 2).
Single, one spring.
Parallel, all springs stacked the same way.
Series, all springs stacked opposing each other.
Parallel-Series, a combination of the two.

Deflection

Figure 2

A single Belleville spring has a specific load and


deflection. Belleville springs in stacked arrangements
provide increased load and / or deflection. Two springs
stacked in parallel doubles the load of a single spring with
no increase in deflection. Two springs stacked in series
doubles the deflection of a single spring with no increase in
load. The parallel - series combination results in the load of
two springs and the deflection of two springs. (Figure 3)

Belleville springs must be utilized correctly in order to


maximize their benefit. There are several important points
when using Belleville springs.
A. Be sure that the bolts are long enough to account
for the thickness of the Belleville.
B. The OD of the spring should contact the surface of
the joint. The ID should contact the bolt head or
nut.
C. If a tensioner is used to preload the bolts, the
Bellevilles must be on the opposite side of the
joint.
Figure 4 shows examples of the proper and improper
Prestressing
way to install two Belleville springs in series.

Many Solon Belleville Springs are pre-stressed by


deflecting them to flat. This flattening procedure produces
a pre-stressed deflection as the spring recovers height
from the flat position. Belleville Springs that are prestressed have the maximum possible load and deflection
for any given size of spring. When the spring is loaded
through its pre-stressed deflection, the resultant residual
stresses build up from the yield strength of the material
instead of from zero stress as with the case of a spring
that is not pre-stressed. Pre-stressing is also an excellent
inspection method for maintaining the quality of springs.
Because pre-stressing produces consistent free heights,
springs not meeting free height tolerances are rejected.
Notis not preRecommended
If for design considerations a spring
Recommended
stressed, this condition is noted in the
deflection column
of the catalog tables. (see
page44) Note: Not all Belleville
Figure
Spring applications require the spring to be pre-stressed.
For special applications, consult Solons engineers.

Solon Flange Washers - Technical Notes


Live Loading with Solon Flange Washers
It is estimated that 50% to 80% of all flange leaks
are caused by insufficient bolt preload. Typically, the
bolts are all tightened to a given aim preload. At this
original load the bolt has a certain amount of stretch
and the gasket yields (takes a set). At start-up, the
process fluid heats up the flange and gasket causing
them to expand more than the bolts. This leads to an
increase in gasket stress causing more yielding. As
the bolt temperature rises, preload may fall substantially.
This is because the bolt stretch is insufficient to make
up for what is lost when the gasket yields. For example,
if the bolt stretch was .005" and the gasket yield is .005",
then all of the original preload will be lost.
Solon Flange Washers are effective because they
add deflection to the fastening system. This is known
as Live Loading. Flange washers are Belleville springs
that are typically very elastic compared to the bolts they
are used with. The increase in elasticity leads to
dramatically less loss of preload when joint components
yield. Using the previous example, if the joint employed
two flange washers with .025" of deflection each, then
preload would fall by only 9% rather than 100%.
Examples of candidates for live loading using flange
washers are:
A. Flanges where failure could cause a safety
problem.
B. Joints that see large temperature fluctuations.
C. The length to diameter ratio of the bolt is less
than three.
D. One or more of the flange components are
subject to yielding such as gasket creep, bolt
creep, vibration, or elastic interaction.
E. The flange has a history of maintenance
problems.
Live loading will not correct all flange leaks.
However, maintaining more of the original preload will
significantly reduce the risk of failure. It has been shown
through various studies by a number of petrochemical
companies, that the use of flange washers has a positive
overall impact on the performance of a live loaded
flange joint.

Selecting a material
The obvious selection would be to use the same
material used for the bolt. However, since Bellevilles

16

are normally made from materials which make good


springs, this is not always possible. Solon Manufacturing
Co. produces flange washers in three different materials.
H-13 Tool Steel, 17-7PH Stainless Steel and Inconel
718 Nickel Alloy. The material you select should be
based on the design and environment of the flange joint
being live loaded. The description and characteristic of
each of these steels can be found in the catalog pages
of this brochure.

Selecting the right size


Solons flange washers are designed so that the
OD of the spring matches the points on a standard nut.
This is done to prevent any interference between the
flange washer and the flange and so the spring will not
overhang the flange joint.
Next the flat load of the flange washer must be
selected. Ideally, the flat load should equal the calculated
preload based on the gasket design and criteria. In
other words, the preload calculations should not be any
different than when no flange washers are used. Multiple
washers can be stacked in parallel to achieve varying
flat loads. The calculated preload may not always equal
the flat load of a single spring. If this is the case choose
the spring with the flat load closest to the aim preload.
The flange washer will not be damaged if the flat load
is exceeded. On the contrary, completely flattening the
Belleville optimizes its benefit.
There are applications where flange washers should
not be completely flattened, such as cyclical and when
flange washers are employed to reduce the increase in
preload that occurs during a temperature cycle by using
a Belleville with a flat load that is higher than the
assembly preload. Contact Solon for more information.

How many flange washers per bolt?


A good rule of thumb is to use two: one on each
end of the bolt. This will increase the deflection of the
fastening system by a factor of 7 to 15 for a typical
300lb flange joint. This increase should be ample for
almost any bolting application.
Excessive movement in joint materials, short active
bolt length, and high differential thermal expansion are
some examples where more than two flange washers
should be used. Solons engineering staff can assist
you when these problems occur.

Solon Flange Washers - Technical Notes


Installation Procedure

Alternative?

Solon Flange Washers must be installed correctly


to maximize their benefit. There are several important
points to remember when installing them.

One of the alternatives that can be used to reduce


the spring rate of a flange joint is to use longer bolts
with collars. Figure 2 compares this method versus
using two flange washers. Each method provides
the same improvement in elasticity, but it is easy to
see that using extended bolts would not be a
suitable solution.

A. Be sure that the bolts or studs are long enough


to account for the thickness of the flange
washers.
B. The OD of the flange washer should contact
the flange joint and the ID of the flange washer
should contact the bolt head or nut.
(Figure 1)

Recommended

Not
Recommended

Figure 1
If the crown of the flange washer is allowed to
extend into the bolt hole, then its loading
characteristics will be altered. The same is true
for a nut that contacts the springs bottom
surface. Since deflections are relatively small,
it can be difficult for the installer to see which
side is up. Solons H-13 Tool Steel Flange
Washers are chamfered at the top of the OD
to help the installer to identify the springs
top surface.
C. If a tensioner is used to preload the bolts, then
the flange washers must be on the opposite
side of the joint.
D. Flat washers are not normally required for the
flange washers bearing surface. Soft flange
materials, such as aluminum, may warrant the
use of hardened flat washers to prevent the
Bellevilles from embedding in the material.
E. If they are properly applied, flange washers
may be reused. Since Belleville springs are
highly stressed parts, they should not be
reinstalled if corrosion pitting is observed on
the surface. If cracking occurs, it may be
necessary to specify a different material
or coating. Contact Solons engineering staff
for assistance.

Standard and Custom Engineered Pressure Controls for Industry


Solon Pressure Switches
Solons unique design allows many features to be
combined to build a variety of switch functions. Since
many of the components used are off the shelf, a highly
specialized switch can often be ordered and shipped
the same day. A simple sensitive mechanism produces
low deadbands.

Solon Bellows Actuated Pressure Switches


Solons Bellows Actuated Pressure Switches use all metal
bellows as their sensing elements. The wetted materials
are stainless steel and silver braze. These switches may
be used through a wide variety of pressure ranges and are
capable of withstanding high static pressures without yielding. The movement of the mechanism
requires less than 15% of the maximum bellows
stroke - this means exceptionally good life. The
small fluid displacement required to operate
these units make them easy to apply to all types of
protective diaphragm seals.

Solon Diaphragm Actuated Pressure Switches


Solons Diaphragm Actuated Pressure Switches employ
elastomer diaphragms for their sensing elements. These
are extremely cost effective and can be used on a wide range
of media. Another benefit is that a very sensitive unit can
be built to withstand high overpressures and shock by
fully supporting the diaphragm. Cycle lives beyond 20
million are capable because the diaphragm material will not
work harden.

Solon Piston Actuated Pressure Switches


Solons Piston Actuated Pressure Switches are
designed for hydraulic or gas service and are
constructed to withstand severe shock and
vibration. The piston element employs a reinforced PTFE seal that is spring-energized.
This results in consistent performance over
millions of cycles.

Solon Differential Pressure Switches


Solons Differential Pressure Switches are used on applications where pressure difference from a reference
pressure must be indicated. Models are available
that can sense a low differential on a very high static pressure. This is particularly useful to determine
flow on a high pressure system. Other common
applications include level sensing, pressure drop
across a filter, two way pressure differential, etc.

Solon Explosion Proof Pressure Switches


Solons Explosion Proof Pressure Switches are currently
available in our 6PS and 7PS models. Solons design allows
these switches to be used in not only explosive atmospheres,
but also where the fluid media is combustible. Many of
the features and wetted parts that are available on the NEMA
4 models may be specified.

Solon Vacuum Pressure Switches


Solons Vacuum Switches perform much like
our pressure switches that may be set to trip at
a given level of vacuum. Many of the special
features and housings that are available in the
pressure switch lines can be specified with
vacuum ranges.

Solon Pressure Actuated Pneumatic Valves


Solons Pressure Actuated Pneumatic Valves employ either
a 2PS or 7PS series sensing element with a snap acting
pneumatic valve replacing the microswitch. Deadbands on
the valves can be comparable to those of pressure switches
using electric switches. These units are typically used on
applications in hazardous locations where the control
system is pneumatic.
