Foreword
This document (EN 1591-1:2001+A1:2009) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 74 "Flanges and their joints", the secretariat of which is held by DIN. This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by September 2009, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by September 2009.
This document includes Amendment 1, approved by CEN on 2009-02-07.
This document supersedes EN 1591-1:2001.
The start and finish of text introduced or altered by amendment is indicated in the text by tags ! ". This European Standard has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association. This European Standard is considered as a supporting standard to other application and product standards which in themselves support an essential safety requirement of a New Approach Directive and will appear as a normative reference in them. For relationship with EU Directive(s), see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of this standard. EN 1591 consists of two parts: – EN 1591-1 Flanges and their joints – Design rules for gasketed circular flange connections – Part 1: Calculation method – !EN 1591-2" Flanges and their joints – Design rules for gasketed circular flange connections – Part 2: Gasket parameters The Calculation method satisfies both leaktightness and strength criteria. The behaviour of the complete flanges-bolts-gasket system is considered. Parameters taken into account include not only basic ones such as: – fluid pressure; – material strength values of flanges, bolts and gaskets; – gasket compression factors; – nominal bolt load; but also: – possible scatter due to bolting up procedure; – changes in gasket force due to deformation of all components of the joint; – influence of connected shell or pipe; – effect of external axial forces and bending moments;

– effect of temperature difference between bolts and flange ring Calculation for sealing performance is based on elastic analysis of the load/deformation relations between all parts of the flange connection, corrected by a possible plastic behaviour of the gasket material. Calculation for mechanical resistance is based on (plastic) limit analysis of the flange-shell combination. Both internal and external loads are considered. Load conditions covered include initial assembly, hydrostatic test, and all significant subsequent operating conditions. The calculation steps are broadly as follows:
1) First, the required minimum initial bolt load (to be reached at bolting-up) is determined, so that in any subsequent specified load condition, the residual force on the gasket will never be less than the minimum mean value required for the gasket (value is gasket data from !EN 1591-2", for instance). The determination of this load is iterative, because it depends on the effective gasket width, which itself depends on the initial bolt load.
2) Then, the internal forces that result from the selected value of initial bolt load are derived for all load
conditions, and the admissibility of combined external and internal forces is checked as follows:
bolting-up condition: the check is performed against the maximum possible bolt force that may result from the bolting-up procedure;
test and operating conditions: checks are performed against the minimum necessary forces, to ensure that the connection will be able to develop these minimum forces without risk of yielding, except in highly localized areas. Higher actual initial bolting results in (limited) plastic deformation in subsequent conditions (test, operation). But the checks so defined assure that these deformations will not reduce the bolt force to a value less than the minimum required.
If necessary, the flange rotations may be estimated in all load conditions, using annex E, and the values obtained, compared with the relevant gasket limits which could apply. Checks for admissibility of loads imply safety factors which are those applied to material yield stress or strength in the determination of the nominal design stresses used in the Calculation method. NOTE Where flanges are used to comply with other codes the Calculation method does not specify values for nominal stresses. Nevertheless, since all significant design parameters are accounted for, the use of low safety factors is made possible by special use of nominal design stresses:
for assembly conditions the nominal design stresses have the same values as for the hydraulic pressure tests (normally higher than for operating conditions);
– the nominal design stresses for the bolts are determined by the same rules as relevant for the flange and shell material e.g. same safety factor on yield stress.
The minimum force required on the gasket for leak tightness considerations may be established by two different ways:
1) Use of tabulated gasket factors, for example those given in !EN 1591-2", which are based on industrial experience and correspond to mainly gas and steam leak rates.
2) Derivation from measured leak rate versus gasket stress data, if available for the gasket, for example
as in !EN 1591-2". This permits design to be based on any specified maximum leak rate.
The use of this Calculation method is particularly useful for joints where the bolt load is monitored when bolting up. The greater the precision of this, the more benefit can be gained from application of the Calculation method. In the present stage of development, the Calculation method is not applicable to joints with narrow metal-to-metal contact (with the exception of joints with spacer seated flanges (see annex G)), or to joints whose rigidity varies appreciably across gasket width.

A chart illustrating the calculation process is given in annex F. !The load calculated by the procedures outlined in this standard represent the minimum bolt load that should be applied to the gasket to achieve the required tightness class.
Increasing bolt load within acceptable load ratios of the flanges / bolt / gasket, reduces leak rates and produces a conservative design.
The designer may choose a bolt load between the load to achieve the tightness class and the load limited by the load ratios.
The objective for the publication of this new edition of EN 1591-1:2001 is to keep the standard in line with EN 1591-2:2008. The calculation methodology and interpretation of gasket data is the subject of on going work in Joint Working Group CEN/TC54/TC69/TC74/TC267/TC269/JWG. This publication is therefore transitory and will be updated in due course. EN 1591-1 is based upon the principle that a selected leakage rate is to be achieved. But, where there is no requirement on limitation of leakage, the following two modifications are suggested:
– In Equation (49) the gasket surface pressure QA may be replaced by Q0,min taken from EN 13445-3:2002, Annex G;
– In Equation (50) the gasket surface pressure Qsmin(L)I may be replaced by QI,min = mΙ × |PΙ|, with mΙ taken from EN 13445-3:2002, Annex G."
According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and United Kingdom.
