SEALING SENSE
From the voice of the fluid SEALING industry SEALING SENSE . How do I determine bolt torque for flanged connections? C. ontrolling the load is essential to ensuring the gas- keted joint will seal properly. Previous SEALING SENSE articles have examined the types of gaskets to use, how flange finish affects gasket SEALING and major pitfalls to avoid to properly assemble a gasketed joint. However, regardless of the type of gasket, controlling the load is prob- ably the most important criteria for getting a gasketed joint to seal. A big problem is the load on the gasket cannot be measured directly and easily during installation. Figure 1. Forces on a bolted connection However, applied torque on the flange bolts can be measured and controlled and is one of the most frequently twice the axial force as a nut factor. Small changes in the used methods to control gasket load. This article explores nut factor can result in large changes in the load experienced bolt torque and the major considerations for converting by the gasket.
