This Master’s thesis deals with flange joints. A suitably designed flange joint (FJ) construction and installation is necessary to ensure the reliability of piping systems and machinery where these joints are used. The thesis describes the procedures of their design and assessment in terms of tightness, strength and durability. It focuses on the stiffness calculation of all components of FJ – primarily the stiffness of flanges, bolts and seals. The main part of the work was to create a computational program by using the Python language to determine the appropriate preload force in the bolts. The program uses the procedures described in the ČSN EN 1591-1 standard. The thesis describes computational algorithms of this program, verification of the program and its use in the assessment of FJ on a specific technical work – pressure vessel with adjacent piping. Verification was performed by comparing the acting force to the seals obtained from the computational program and the stress-strain analysis using the finite element method (FEM), where the load model in this stress-strain analysis included the preload force obtained from the computational program. The application of the pressure vessel computational program consisted in determining the preload forces for all FJs of this assembly. The last part describes the assessment of the most loaded FJ. Again, stress-strain state was evaluated using FEM and FJ was assessed for tightness, strength and durability using the NTD A.S.I. standard.
