This paper presents numerical results obtained using Finite Element Analysis (FEA) in studying large diameter welded neck steel flanges under different loading conditions. Obtained FEA results show the effect of the clamping pressure,... more
This paper describes an accelerate aging procedure used for investigating the surface alteration of PTFE gaskets commercialized by two alternative producers. These gaskets are installed in modern process plants where tires moulds are... more
Gasketed bolted flange pipe joints are always prone to leakage during operating conditions. Therefore, performance of a gasketed flange joint is very much dependent on the proper joint assembly with proper gasket, proper gasket seating... more
Design rules for flat face flanges with metal-to-metal contact beyond the bolt circle are covered by Appendix Y of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers Code. These design rules are based on Schneider’s work (1968, “Flat Faces... more
In this work, different gasket materials (NBR, expanded PTFE and PTFE) with different thicknesses were investigated by evaluating the electrochemical performance as function of a torque moment applies to fasten the cell. Because the... more
