Pressure class
ASME B16.5, Class 150
EN1092-1, PN16 /
JIS B 2220, 10K
Flange bolting instructions:
1. Use cross-pattern sequence as shown.
2. Check uniformity of the flange gap.
3. Apply adjustments by selective tightening if required.
4. Torque incrementally until desired value is reached.
5. Check/re-torque after 4 to 6 hours.
Recommendations for flange bolting:
● Check bolts periodically, re-torque as required.
● Use new lens, O-ring and spring washers after removal from installation.
For instructions on replacing the lens, see Part replacement (Page 34).
