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

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.

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)

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.
