It depends on the diameter of the flange, the type of pipe, the materials, the type, size and grade of bolts, type, grade and size of the flange, and the pressure and temperature of the fluid transported in the pipe.

Some pipe flanges require very little torque on their bolts while others need as much as 500 foot-pounds of torque, or more. The design and application will determine the required torque.

What is the tighting sequence for 60 bolts on a flange?

The tightening sequence for 60 bolts on a flange typically follows a star or crisscross pattern to ensure even distribution of pressure and to prevent warping. This means starting from one bolt and moving diagonally across to the opposite bolt, then proceeding to the next set in the same manner. The process usually involves tightening each bolt in several rounds, gradually increasing the torque to the specified value. Always refer to the manufacturer's guidelines for the specific torque and sequence for the particular flange being used.


How do you replace a cracked flange?

To replace a cracked flange, first turn off the water supply and drain any remaining water from the pipes. Remove the bolts or screws securing the flange to the pipe or surface, then carefully detach the flange. Clean the area thoroughly to ensure a proper seal, then position the new flange and secure it with bolts or screws. Finally, reconnect the pipes and turn the water supply back on, checking for leaks.


What is a counter flange and how is it different from a normal flange?

The term"counter flange" is used in Europe to refer to a mating flange to make up a flange pair. For example a "counter flange" attached to a pipe must have the same bolt circle diameter, number of bolts, and size of bolts and pressure rating at the equipment nozzle flange provided by an equipment manufacturer.


Should you glue your toilet closet flange to your pipe?

No, it is not recommended to glue the toilet closet flange to the pipe. The flange should be secured to the floor using bolts or screws, and the toilet is then secured to the flange using wax rings or sealing gaskets. Gluing the flange to the pipe can make it difficult to remove or replace the toilet in the future.

What is the proper torque for the head bolts?

The torque loading for head (and many others) bolts varies with the engine concerned. It is important to check the manufacturers handbook to ensure the correct loading is applied. It is also important to tighten the bolts on the sequence indicated in the manual and by increments to the final loading. If no sequence is given then it is good practice to tighten from the centre out. For most 'standard' car engines it will be around 50 ft lb.
