General arrangement and details of the bolted clamp has been shown in Appendix E Design of Clamping shell Clamping shell inner diameter: (1)

Minimum clamping shell thickness: (2)

Design clamping shell thickness: (3)

Design Of End Plates Minimum end plate thickness: (4)

Checking the fillet weld size N (Appendix E, Detail 1), the minimum end plate would also satisfy the following condition: (5)

(6)

(7)

Hence, design end plate thickness: (8) Design Of Joining Flange Minimum distance between inner side of end plates (9)

Design distance between inner side of end plates:

(10)

Minimum distance from bolt hole centre line to clamping shell:

(11)

From Appendix A, for M16 bolt, D = 34 (mm). Assuming maximum flange thickness be 22 (mm), from Appendix D, G = 15 (mm). Hence: (12)

Design distance from bolt hole centre line to clamping shell: (13)

Effective length of clamping shell: (14)

Minimum joining flange thickness (15)

Design joining flange thickness: (16) Design of bolt hole in joining flange Minimum distance from bolt centre to edge of flange (17)

Design distance from bolt centre to edge of flange (18)

Total hydrostatic end force:
