Notes:
Torque Values are in ft.-lbs., and assume Alloy Steel Bolts (A193 B7 w/ 2H Nuts) with oil/graphite lubrication.

Torque values limit minimum and maximum gasket seating stresses based upon pressure class and certain operating conditions.(i.e: maximum pressure
ratings for given pressure class,not hydrotest pressure), Extreme operating conditions such as high temperature may reduce bolt yield strength. Caution
should be used in these applications. The above torque values are for general use only. For critical or extreme applications (high temperature/pressure)
consult with Flexitallic engineering.
(Nut factors used on these charts are within .15 to .19)
Flexitallic does not generally recommend a bolt stress above 60,000 PSI
