For flanges with 36 bolts, tighten the bolts in
groups of 3 adjacent bolts following the sequence for a
12 bolt flange.
For flanges with
40 or more bolts, tighten the bolts in adjacent groups of 4, bolts
sequenced as the number of bolts divided by 4. Follow this same rule
for all flanges with 40 or more bolts. The best source for guidance
in the matter of bolt tightening sequence for flanges is ASME PCC-1. To obtain a full copy of ASME PCC-1, latest
edition, go to
