at even higher operating conditions.
Bolted Joint Assemblies
Introduction
What is a gasket?
For years, many different types of gasket
have been used to seal bolted connections.
Few people in industry give them much
thought until problems arise. This document
is intended to promote a clearer
understanding of how gaskets work, and
how to avoid common pitfalls in their use.
Let us first define what a gasket is imagine
writing a technical dictionary and needing
to define what a gasket is or does. One
might simply suggest that it is something
for sealing flanges on pipe-work or process
equipment. The James Walker Moorflex
definition should help the reader to picture
how the gasket functions:
A device for
sealing two
surfaces, by
storing energy
between them
There are two main types of bolted joint

assembly, which can be considered to
be floating and rigid in their basic
characteristics.
A floating assembly is one where there
is no metal to metal contact after bolting
the flanges. This would be the commonly
encountered raised face flange having
a fibre-based material gasket. Here, for
an increase in system pressure a higher
gasket stress would be required. However,
with increasing bolt force the gasket
undergoes greater compression.
Additionally the bending moment on the
flanges is increased, so that the bolts,
flanges and gasket could all be considered
to be spring elements within the system.
(Though the gasket is often a highly nonlinear element in its load-recovery behaviour.)
Forces Acting in a Bolted

Joint Assembly
The initial bolt load generated upon
tightening is transferred to the gasket via
the flanges. This initial seating stress
compresses the gasket and tightens it within
itself. The hydrostatic force generated by
the system pressure, tends to unload and
reduce the stress on the gasket.
The stress remaining on the gasket is
considered to be the operating or residual
stress. It is this degree of stress, or energy
left in the joint that will determine the degree
of tightness achieved in the system.
It should be noted that on a raised face
assembly such as the one shown here, there
will be some deflection of the flanges
themselves (flange rotation). This is a
function of the load applied, the flange
material and the geometry of the flanges.
Thus, the operational stress towards the
outside edge of the gasket tends to be
greater than on the inside edge.
The mechanics concerning flange rotation
are altered with flat-faced flanges. The overall
contact area of a full-face joint can be
typically twice as much as an inside bolt
circle (IBC gasket).
A rigid assembly, is where metal to metal

contact occurs after bolting. An
example of a rigid assembly can
be illustrated by an O-ring in a
Bolt Force
recess. Once the flanges have
achieved a metal-to-metal contact,
then further tightening of the bolts
against the system pressure has
no further effect upon the sealing
element. As an O-ring is selfenergising, then the degree of
sealing should be good, provided
no extrusion gap exists between
the flanges.

Thus the gasket has to react to the forces

generated by the bolts, and therefore the
work and energy imparted to the bolted joint
becomes stored within the gasket itself.
Gaskets can be classified into three main
categories:
Non-Metallic
(Elastomers, Cork, Compressed
Fibre, Graphite, PTFE etc.)

(Spiral-Wound, Clad Joints,
Kammprofile, etc.)

Gasket
Behaviour
a Stress Relaxation
The stress relaxation performance or the
stress retention property of a gasket is vital
in maintaining the level of energy stored in
the joint, which effects the seal. Relaxation
can occur at the flange-gasket interface as
well as within the gasket material itself. This
characteristic is particularly relevant in
relation to non-metallic sheet jointing
materials, where there are internationally
recognised test procedures for examining
relaxation effects. These involve stressing
the gasket to a pre-determined amount and
subjecting it to elevated temperatures for a
given time (16 hours at 300C for example).
At the end of the test the remaining stress
level is measured, where materials giving
the higher readings are generally considered
to be more successful.
Materials having a high rubber/elastomer
content for example, may be expected to
relax significantly as the rubber/elastomer
decays at temperature.
It should be well noted that for fibre sheet
jointing materials, that thick materials exhibit
increased relaxation over thin ones. Thus,
the thinnest gasket possible should always
be used, and need only be sufficiently thick
to take up any flange distortion and
misalignment.
b Tensile Strength
Tensile strength is not necessarily the most
important function of a gasket material.
Expanded graphite for example is relatively
weak, though it performs very well as a
gasket material, with a high degree of
sealability in a wide range of media. If a
gasket is adequately loaded on a flange
with the correct surface finish, then the
clamping forces resist the tendency for
the joint to blow-out at pressure.
However, if the joint is relatively thick
(i.e. with a significant area exposed to
the system pressure) and inadequately
compressed, then the internal pressure
forces on the inside edge have to be
resisted by the tensile strength of the
gasket. Again, the thinner the gasket the
less relaxation will occur internally as well
as exposing less area to the system pressure
that is trying to force the gasket from
between the flanges.
c Effect of Flange Surface

Finish
Normally, standard piping flanges are
supplied with a light gramophone-finish
groove across the gasket seating face.
(See following table for typical values.)
These values are suitable for non-metallic
and semi-metallic gaskets, whereas values
for metallic gaskets are specified within
relevant international standards, e.g., API
6A for ring joint gaskets. This finish tends
to grip the gasket material and thereby
limits the creep across the flange faces.
Note that the surface finish should not be
so rough as to allow a leak path under the
gasket, where the gasket is unable to deform
effectively to fill the gramophone groove.
The use of pastes on the gasket surface
may actually worsen sealing performance
as these can fill-in the surface finish allowing
stress relaxation to occur. Any flange
damage (e.g. steam cutting etc.) should be
rectified before a joint is re-made.
The spirally grooved, gramophone surface
finishes as specified in common flange
Method of
Machining
standards such as BS 1560, generally

provide a good surface for most gasket
types.
These usually recommend that the flange
faces be machined with a spiral groove in
accordance with the table below.
Individual attention should be given to
applications involving searching gases or
high vacuum sealing. As a general rule we
prefer flange finishes of between 3.2 and
6.3 m Ra as being the recommended
surface for use with spiral-wound gaskets,
and 6.3 to 12.5 m Ra for compressed fibre
materials, though both types should give
acceptable performance over the complete
range of finish shown.
Note: Wherever possible, the mating flanges
should be of the same material and machined
identically. It is also important that the flange
surfaces are flat, free of imperfections, and
as far as practicable are parallel.
d Load-Sealability
It is a fact that all gaskets leak to varying
degrees. For example, whilst an assembly
may be built and hydro-tested successfully,
if it were pressurised with helium for example
and the flange encapsulated, it may be
possible to detect a small mass-leak rate of
the helium, after a period of time, using a
mass-spectrometer.
This leak-rate might otherwise be considered
undetectable in general industrial terms,
though the load-sealability tests that are
conducted by gasket manufacturers and
research bodies are invaluable when looking
at critical sealing applications.

Section 2 continued
A curve of the load-compression

characteristics will be very similar, again
showing how the material densifies under
increasing stress as any micro-porosity is
closed within the material structure. The
gasket becomes increasingly hard to
compress with increasing applied stress.
Most gasket sealing tests are done on a
loading-unloading cycle to see the effects
of leakage as the gasket stress is reduced
(by the hydrostatic force for example), after
being loaded to a higher value. It is usually
better to create a log-linear plot of the loadsealability results. If this is done, then a
reasonably straight line is produced as per
the example adjacent:
Note from this graph that as the gasket
densifies, then the slope of the unloadingleakage data lines changes. Thus, the
sealing properties are quite complex,
depending upon the initial and operational
stress levels that are likely to occur in service.
Note that flange rotation effects will further
complicate the theoretical stress levels upon
the gasket element.
For a given operating stress on a gasket,
the leak-rate will increase with increasing
system pressure, as indicated in the graph
adjacent:
Similarly, for a sheet gasket material, the
leak-rate increases with material thickness,
roughly in a proportional manner, (i.e. double
the gasket thickness produces double the
leak rate).

As the gasket densifies under load, such

porosity becomes increasingly less and the
joint continues to tighten becoming
progressively more dense. Therefore, a loadleakage test on a gasket will tend to produce
an exponential-decay curve format thus:

We must assume that in the free,

uncompressed state, that a non-metallic
gasket may have some internal porosity, as
when manufactured, the material may not
be perfectly homogenous. Thus, any microporosity holes in the structure will allow
leakage until the applied seating stress
causes them to close.

Flange Types
& Standards
a ASME
The ASME B 16.5 flanges are in widespread
use all around the world on power stations,
refineries, chemical plants and most other
major industrial facilities. This standard
covers flanges from 1/2 to 24 nominal bore,
which are classified in pressure ratings in
pounds per square inch (p.s.i.), such as
classes 150, 300, 600, 900, 1500, and
2500. Note that these are pressure
ratings at elevated temperatures, as for
example a class 150 flange is rated to
290 p.s.i. (20 bar) at ambient.
There are many common flange standards

available, though perhaps the most widely
used are ASME, DIN and BS. There are of
course a large number of other national
standards in all countries around the world,
though many have their origins in the ASME
or DIN series flanges.
Large diameter ASME flanges (above

24 and up to 60 N.B.) are covered by
the ASME B 16.47 standard. This has
two main categories Series A and
Series B. The Series A covers flanges
formerly known as MSS-SP44
(Manufacturers Standardisation Society)
whereas Series B covers those from API
605 (American Petroleum Institute), which
tend to be more compact. There are other
large diameter flange standards such as the
Taylor Forge classes 175 and 350, as well
as the American Water Works Association
(AWWA) flanges.
There are a wide variety of flange styles,

configurations and applicable standards as
shown herewith, though in general industry
the raised face flange is perhaps the most
common type regularly employed.
Heat exchangers are commonly produced

having male & female flanges of class 150,
300, or 600 etc., but manufactured to TEMA
(Tubular Equipment Manufacturers
Association) dimensions.
Flange standards
b DIN
By comparison to the ASME flanges, the
DIN series are rated with PN numbers which
indicate the nominal pressure rating in bar.
These for example are PN 6, PN10, PN16,
PN25, and PN 40 where, unlike the ASME
flanges, the pressure ratings relate to
ambient temperature. This metric series of
flanges are now covered by pan-European
standards such as EN1092, for these PN
rated flanges.
c BS
The BS10 flange standard is rarely used,
though of course many of these flanges still
remain in service at a large number of
industrial sites. These flanges are classified
by a letter system, for example Table E,
Table H, Table J etc. in increasing order of
service pressure rating.
d Relevant Gasket Standards
RAISED FACE
FLAT FACE
For ASME flanges, then cut gaskets from

non-metallic sheet materials, are covered
by ASME B 16.21 or BS EN 12560 part 1
(formerly BS7076 pt.1). Spiral wound joints
for these are made in accordance with ASME
B 16.20 (formerly to API 601), or to BS 3381
or BS EN 12560 part 2. The ASME B 16.20
standard also covers metal-jacketed gaskets
and API ring joints. For DIN series flanges,
gaskets are cut from sheet materials in
accordance with EN 1514 part 1, with spiral
wound joints being made to EN 1514 part
2. The BS EN 12560 and BS EN 1514 have
additional sections covering other gasket
types such as PTFE envelopes and
corrugated metallic gaskets in parts 3 and
4 respectively. As for BS 10 flanges, the cut
gasket dimensions are given in BS 3063.
In terms of gasket material testing standards,
then compressed sheet materials are often
tested in accordance with standards such
as BS 7531, or DIN 3535 and ASTM F36,
where these standards require testing of
material properties such as stress relaxation,
compression, recovery and gas permeability
amongst others.

as alternatives. In every case, the thinnest

possible material should be used. Further
information is available on these materials
in the James Walker Moorflex Product Range
Manual.
Gasket Types
Graphite
Supagraf is the name of James Walkers
range of expanded graphite sealing
materials. Graphite is a good high
temperature material with wide chemical
resistance. It should not however, be used
on oxidizing media (e.g. Nitric or Sulphuric
acids for example.) It is softer and more
compressible than sheet fibre jointing, as
well as providing a higher level of sealing
tightness at a given gasket stress. However,
graphite is readily damaged, so requires
more care in handling and storage. It is
generally supplied with reinforcing layers to
increase its strength and rigidity. Note that
the strongest grades generally have a tanged
stainless steel layer, which can present very
sharp edges if press cut, or cut with tinsnips,
etc. Thus, for health and safety reasons, we
would recommend that gaskets in this
material should be specified as being cut
by abrasive water-jet method wherever
possible, as this avoids sharp edges.
PTFE
The types of gasket can best be described
by the materials of construction and
classified as non-metallic, semi-metallic and
metallic.
a Non-Metallic
Generally low to moderate pressure, wide
chemical service including acids and alkalis
up to moderate temperatures and
miscellaneous low duty applications.
Elastomers
Elastomer gaskets are generally only used
for relatively low pressure applications as
at high seating stresses a rubber gasket
may extrude from between the flanges. (Note
that rubber in itself is incompressible and
has to displace.)
There is a vast range of elastomeric materials
available from James Walker. These include
natural, nitrile, neoprene, butyl, ethylenepropylene, fluorocarbon and silicone to
name but a few. Thus, a wide range of
chemicals can be catered for, both in
Nebar is the James Walker brand of corkelastomer jointing. There are a variety of
grades available, and are mainly used on
low pressure duties such as oil covers and
applications where the available bolting is
relatively low.
PTFE is generally used because of its

outstanding chemical resistance. Note that
it can be prone to relaxation and creep.
Therefore, expanded or filled grades such
as Fluolion Integra are often employed
to overcome some of these effects. PTFE
can be used as a cover around the inside
edge of a fibre joint, to produce what is
known as a PTFE envelope gasket, as well
as being used as a filler in spiral-wound
gaskets, and as a covering surface layer for
Kammprofile gaskets.
Compressed Fibre
Flange Insulation Sets
Materials such as Sentinel, Centurion

and Chieftain are James Walkers
mainstream sheet fibre jointings. These are
made using aramid, glass and carbon fibres.
In conditions where a galvanic corrosion

cell could exist (e.g. the joining of stainless
and carbon steel flanges in an assembly),
then an insulating gasket system is often
required. In these systems a rubber-faced
phenolic material is commonly used for the
gasket, and to avoid electrical conduction
through the bolts, these too are insulated
using phenolic washers and insulating
sleeves.
specification grade and commercial quality

materials. Our technical specialists are on
hand to advise the most suitable grade for
your application.
Elastomer-Cork
This type of gasket material is most likely

to be utilised on relatively low duties, such
as water, air, oil and low pressure steam.
Note that these materials are not
equivalents to the formerly used asbestos
products, but should be considered simply
Section 4 continued
b Semi-Metallic
Combination of non-metallic filler for
compressibility and metal for strength,
resilience and chemical resistance. Used
typically at higher temperatures and
pressures than non-metallic types.
Spiral-Wound
The Metaflex range of spiral-wound
gaskets are widely used on high pressure
joints throughout industry world-wide. These
are generally used for higher temperatures
and pressures. A variety of metals are
available for the winding strip as well as for
the support rings. The standard pipeline
gaskets are nominally 4.5 mm thick and
compressed to a working thickness of 3.2
/ 3.45 mm.
At large diameters (typically over 1.2 metres)
then a thicker gasket of 7.3mm thickness is
generally used.
On raised face flanges, the gaskets have
an outer support ring which locates inside
the bolt PCD, and they can also be supplied
with an inner ring. (These are usually for the
higher pressure systems, or processes
having high flow rates or abrasive media,
as the inner ring reduces turbulence at the
pipe bore.
On spigot / recess flanges a simple sealing

element gasket is usually used with no
additional support rings, and the flanges
are dimensioned to achieve the correct
gasket compression when metal to metal
contact is reached. In these cases the
gaskets should be designed having the
correct inner and outer clearances for the
recess used. If in doubt, consult our technical
advisory service.
Metal Jacketed
Single and double-jacketed metal clad
gaskets have mostly been traditionally used
as heat exchanger gaskets. Metals such as
soft iron, carbon steel and stainless are used
to encase a soft filler material, usually a nonasbestos millboard. It should be noted that
some heat exchanger flanges have stressraising nubbins on one face, and the nonseamed side of a double jacketed gasket
is intended to go against this face, so it is
important that the joint is fitted the correct
way around in the assembly.
Kammprofile
The James Walker Metakamm gasket type
is generally a solid metal ring having a
serrated tooth form profile on each side.
A covering layer of graphite or PTFE is
applied, which becomes compressed into
the serrated surface when the gasket is
loaded. These gaskets have a good level
of sealing tightness and are frequently used
to replace metal-jacketed joints on heat
exchangers. They can also be provided with
a slot-leg locating ring as a Multi-Fit design
(see Metal Trap gaskets below), to reduce
stores inventory.
Metaflex SPIRAL-WOUND GASKET COMPRESSION
NOMINAL THICKNESS
COMPRESSED THICKNESS
Metal trap gaskets

In these gaskets, a thin sheet steel gasket
has recesses formed into it, where a bead
of sealing material (graphite or PTFE) is
located in either side. The recess traps the
material, preventing it from being extruded
under load. These James Walker Metcom
gaskets are often supplied with a slot-leg,
Multi-Fit design, so that one gasket will fit
flanges from class 150, 300 etc. Note that
the sealing elements are relatively narrow,
so this type of gasket should not be used
on badly damaged flanges (e.g. those
having steam cuts etc.).
c Metallic
Manufactured from one metal or a
combination of metals in a variety of shapes
and sizes for high temperature or pressure
use. Due to the high pressures involved, the
seating stresses are necessarily large to
give sufficient gasket deformation to
overcome any flange surface imperfections
and to overcome the high system pressure
forces.
Oval & Octagonal
These are commonly used on oilfield
applications, and details of these joints are
given in well recognised standards ASME
B 16.20 and API 6A. The gaskets sit in a
recess in the flange face, which has 23
angled walls. Some stand-off exists between
the flanges, though PTFE inner spacers can
be supplied to reduce the effects of erosion
and the build-up of dirt on the flange face
inside the gasket. Similarly, sponge rubber
protectors are sometimes used to keep the
area clean outboard of the gaskets and
around the bolts. For hydro-testing
purposes, rubber-covered ring joint gaskets
are available, to avoid damaging the flange
recesses.

The RX joints are an unequal bevel octagonal

ring, and are considered to be a pressureenergised or pressure-assisted seal. The
BX is also octagonal, though shorter in
profile and designed to go into a recess that
comes metal-to-metal when the flanges are
tightened. These are used on very high
pressure flanges up to 20,000 p.s.i. rating.
Other metallic gaskets
There is a wide range of solid metallic
gaskets available from James Walker
Moorflex, eg., items such as lens rings,
wedge rings (Bridgeman joints), convex
metal gaskets, and weld ring gaskets can
be manufactured in a variety of alloys, with
full quality assurance and material traceability
to national and international standards.
Section 5
Calculation Methods
effective width is b and the effective
diameter is G. The system pressure is
designated as P in these equations.
If we consider a common raised-face flange,
then the contact width of the gasket element
(from the raised face outside diameter to
the gasket inside diameter) is designated
as N. The basic width is then calculated
as being 1/2 this value and called b . The
effective width then depends upon the

value of b being greater or less than 1/4,
though in the majority of cases this is likely.

If b is greater than 1/4, then the effective
width is calculated as :-
b=
(or for cases where b is equal or less than
then b = b )
The effective diameter G is simply the

outside contact diameter less 2 x b
Therefore, the actual gasket contact area is

usually far greater in reality than the
calculated figure by this method.

As stated in section 2, the load-sealability

characteristics of a gasket are quite complex.
Incorporating these effects into a reliable
flange design method has been the objective
of designers for many years, and a number
of flange design codes are now well
recognised.
The ASME VIII and DIN 2505 codes are well
established and successfully in use.
However, certain limitations in these codes
have lead to research and development of
alternatives, such as the PVRC and CEN
methods.
James Walker Moorflex recognises both
the merits and limitations of all the methods
which have been summarised and
commented upon in the following
paragraphs.
Individual design parameters will dictate the
most appropriate method and for further
advice on gasket selection and relevant load
sealability requirements, please contact our
technical specialists.
a ASME VIII
The ASME code has been used for many
years to design flanges, though has a
number of recognised flaws when it comes
to determining a suitable bolt load with
regard to gasket sealing. Calculations are
performed to determine greater of either the
operating or initial forces using the following
formulae.
Note also that the gasket factor m is

effectively a multiplier of the system pressure
as an operating stress. However, as shown
in section 2, the actual sealing performance
of a gasket is more realistically a 3dimensional, exponential decay curve, rather
than a single number.
1 Initial load requirement
Wm1 = bGy
2 Operating load requirement
Wm2 =
G2P
+ 2b GmP

The factors m and y are the gasket factor

and initial seating stress values respectively.
One problem is that the code does not utilise
the whole gasket contact area in the
calculation. In the formulae above, the
9
Section 5 continued
Again, as per section 2, we know that it is

the operational stress that defines gasket
sealability. There seems to be no real reason
to try and link initial gasket seating loads,
(i.e. for compression purposes, to take up
flange flatness etc.) with the m factor which
is related to the operating stress requirement
for a given system pressure. However, when
originally devised in the 1930s and 1940s,
the relationship existed between the factors
of :2
Another popular European design method

used to determine bolt load requirements
is the AD-Merkblatt B7, where again the
initial and operating bolt load requirements
are determined using gasket factors. These
are k1, k0 and KD, which relate to the
effective widths and deformation resistance
of the gaskets concerned.
Note that both of the above methods are
now generally tending to be replaced by
the new EN 1591 design method.
(2m-1) x 180 = y
(using y in units of p.s.i., and rounding-off
the m factor to the nearest 0.25)
Thus, for compressed fibre gaskets, a lower
y value was determined for the thicker
materials, presumably because they would
deform more readily to make a crude seal
against whatever flange distortion existed.
Thus, from the relationship above, the thicker
materials also gained a lower m factor,
suggesting that they would give better
sealing performance. However, again as
per section 2 of this manual we know that
thicker materials not only have a greater
tendency to stress-relax, but also have a
greater number of micro-porosity channels
where leakage can occur. Indeed, in
searching gas sealability tests, then a 3 mm
thick compressed fibre jointing material
tends to leak at approximately twice the rate
of a 1.5 mm sample of the same material at
a given operating stress.
b DIN 2505
This method also employs gasket factors
that are used to determine the bolt load
requirement. There are the maximum and
minimum stress levels for installation at
ambient temperature, as well as a maximum
stress at elevated temperature
c PVRC
For a number of years the Pressure Vessel
Research Council has recognised some of
the inadequacies of the ASME code and
sought to provide a better means of
calculating the required gasket loading. The
proposed calculation requires gasket data
to be developed from a series of loading
and unloading leak tightness tests in order
to obtain coefficients to describe the sealing
performance of the gasket.
This method uses the concept of Tightness
Parameter, where the gasket sealability is
related to a dimensionless number thus:
Tp =
P L

(vu, vo, Bu, Bo).

The maximum initial gasket stress allowable
is a function of the width to thickness ratio
to avoid crushing effects on soft materials.
This method also has an m factor, though
uses the actual contact width of the gasket
in the calculations. Thus, this method is less
likely to produce insufficient gasket stress
than by ASME VIII, especially as the
minimum initial gasket stress values given
in the code are fairly conservative.

Section 5 continued
The coefficients used in the calculation are

Gb, a, and Gs and are derived from the
sealablility test as shown in the Typical PVRC
Chart.
There is some debate about the reliability
and repeatability of the coefficients as they
are derived from the log-log plot of an
assumed square-law relationship, so
relatively minor changes in leak rate during
the test could affect the final data reduction.
However, the coefficients are at least derived
from actual tightness testing, so the
calculation becomes realistic in terms of
typical in-service performance of the gasket.
d CEN
Like the PVRC method, this uses loadingunloading gasket sealing tests to determine
the gasket performance characteristics. They
are used in a flange calculation method (EN
1591) which is quite iterative and complex
in nature. As a gasket is loaded, some flange
rotation may occur, changing the effective
stress on the gasket from the inside to
outside contact position (as described
previously in section 1).
The gasket seals differently in the unloading
phase of the test compared to the loading
cycle. If we consider that a gasket is loaded
to point QA initially, and unloaded by the
hydrostatic to the operating stress QSminL
as shown in the diagram below, then we
can see that the sealability decreases slightly
between these two points. However, the
sealability is generally better than when this
stress level was applied during the loading
phase.
As mentioned in section 1, the unloading
modulus of the gasket changes with
increased initial stress. Therefore, the change
in sealability between QA and QSminL will
change depending upon the actual value
of QA applied. This standard uses the

unloading modulus of the gasket in the
calculations to examine the stiffness of the
gasket as a part of the overall joint stiffness.
The EN 1591 method looks at the required
sealability from loading-unloading tests. By
knowing the degree of unloading on the
joint from the hydrostatic forces and the
tightness level desired, it is possible to
calculate the flange deflection and effective
gasket stress for a given bolt load. Therefore,
changes to the flange geometry and applied
bolt load will determine the amount of flange
rotation, the change in gasket stress across
the sealing element, both in the initial and
operating conditions, and therefore the
degree of tightness achieved.
The problem with this method is that it can
be quite iterative and complex, though
computer programmes are becoming
available which will make the calculation
method easier to perform.
The degree of gasket testing required can
also be considerable, and work is underway
to look at combining the methodologies of
both the CEN and PVRC testing to
harmonise the test protocols.
TYPICAL CEN PLOT

LEAK-RATE (mg/sec/mm)
This formula essentially relates the test

pressure to atmospheric pressure, and the
measured leak rate against a unitary leak
rate measured in mg/sec/mm diameter of
gasket. The index of 0.5 suggests that
doubling the system pressure will in fact
produce a fourfold increase in leak rate,
though this is perhaps a worst-case scenario
for most gaskets.

Best Practice
a Dos and Donts
1
Mating flanges should be of the

same type and correctly aligned.
2
Fasteners should be selected to

ensure that they do not exceed
their elastic limit at the required
tension.
3
Do not re-torque elastomer bound

compressed non-asbestos
gaskets after exposure to elevated
temperatures. (They may well
have hardened and are at risk of
cracking.)
4
Ensure that fasteners show no

signs of corrosion, which might
affect their load bearing capacity.
5
Nuts should have a specified proof

load 20% greater than the UTS of
the fastener.
6
Hardened steel washers of the

same material as the nuts should
always be used.
7
A thread lubricant or anti-galling

compound should be used on
bolting as appropriate, but only a
thin, uniform coating should be
applied. Where stainless steel is
used, it should be ensured that
such coatings are suitable for use.
8
Fasteners and/or gaskets should

never be re-used.
9
Good quality gaskets should

always be procured from
reputable suppliers only.
10 Gaskets should be kept as thin

as possible.
11 Gaskets should never be
hammered-out against the
flange. Not only can this cause
damage to the flange, it will also
damage the gasket material and
thereby reduce gasket
performance.
12 When cutting full-face gaskets,
the bolt holes should be cut first,
followed by the gasket outer and
inner diameters. Note that if the
bolt holes are fairly close to the
gasket O/D, then punching-out
the holes last may produce
enough stress to crack the gasket
at this point.
13 Gaskets should be stored in a
cool dry place, away from heat,
humidity, direct sunlight, ozone
sources, water, oil and chemicals.
They should also be stored flat
(i.e. not hung on hooks).
14 Avoid the use of Jointing
Compounds and pastes these
can lubricate the flange-gasket
interface and encourage stressrelaxation effects.
12
Section 6
Gasket Installation
b Bolt Tightening
Gaskets should be tightened evenly in at
least three, or even four stages using an
opposed-pattern as illustrated here. Be
aware that cross-talk exists between bolts
during the tightening process so that as one
1
tightens and the gasket compresses, another

bolt may loosen. Therefore, a final pass
around all of the bolts at the end is
suggested to ensure that all remain tight.

Section 7
noted that because of the variance in nut

and thread friction which is particularly
difficult to control, then the theoretical
relationship is not particularly accurate.
T=
Having determined the gasket loading

requirement, consideration must be given
to the best materials and tightening methods
to achieve this loading. As mentioned
previously the overall joint integrity is
essentially a function of three main criteria:
Correct gasket selection to suit the operating
conditions and the overall bolted joint
strength / stiffness
Quality of the joint components the gasket
manufacture, flange and bolt materials etc.
Installation competence ensuring that the
gasket is fitted correctly, with the design
seating stress applied both accurately and
evenly.
a Materials
Commonly used bolting materials and
standards include BS 4882 and ASTM A193.
It should be noted that stainless fasteners
(e.g. B8) have a significantly lower strength
than alloy steel materials (B7). Care should
be taken to select a bolt material having
sufficient yield strength so as to be able to
apply adequate gasket stress whilst retaining
a margin of safety, bearing in mind the
variance of torque-tension scatter that may
be possible during tightening.
Note also, that especially with some exotic
bolt materials and at elevated temperatures,
the true onset of yield may be below the
theoretical value. Bolt material standards
such as those mentioned above should be
consulted for details of maximum
recommended stresses and operating
temperatures.
b Tightening Methods
Torque vs. Tension
h(A + D) + t (2de sec) +
2p
Here, F is the axial load requirement, A

is the across-flats dimension of the nut
(i.e. the outside diameter of nut and
washer contact), and D is the washer
inside diameter. The friction coefficients
under the head of the nut, and on the
thread (h, t) will almost certainly be
difficult to determine. The effective
diameter (de), the pitch of the threads (p),
and half the thread form angle (), are all
readily available in engineering manuals for
common thread forms.
The effect of the friction coefficient on the

variance of the torque-tension relationship
can readily be seen on the following graph.
Here we use a nominal 0.15 as being the
friction both on the thread and on the nutwasher interface on a conventional UNC
threaded fastener. Using the more complex
formula given above, we can see that a
change of only 0.05 on the friction
coefficient can vary the torque required by
typically 30%.
Simplified Formula
Hydraulic tensioners have a number of

advantages when it comes to tightening
large bolts in particular, and can provide
significant amounts of tightening power.
They offer the ability to be linked together,
so that a number of bolts may be tightened
in unison. However, some compliance exists
in the tensioner system (e.g. embedding of
the nut and washer, and thread deflection
etc.), so that some overload is required to
compensate for the relaxation once the
tensioner has been de-pressurised. The
degree of torque imparted to the nut collar
when the nut is run-down the fastener, also
has an effect on the amount of load-transfer
relaxation that occurs when the tensioner
is de-pressurised.
In simplified form, for lubricated fasteners,

washers, nuts etc, the approximate
relationship between torque and fastener
may be represented as:
Torque = 0.2 x Load x Diameter

Obviously, the units used must be consistent
with the system being used (for example if
torque is required in ft-lbs, then for bolts in
inches, the value must be divided by 12
etc.). Compared to the more complex
formula given above, then the simplified
formula shown here is often deemed
sufficient for purpose, as accurately gauging
the coefficient of friction can be extremely
difficult. However please note that the
accuracy of applied torque vs. actual fastener
tension achieved, can be typically +/- 60%.

Section 7 continued
Ultrasound
Ultrasound Whilst this can be a relatively
accurate method for measuring the
extension of the fastener, note that the
fasteners should ideally be spot-faced for
good contact with the signal probe. The
bolts or studs also require calibration to the
ultrasound equipment, as load-extension
characteristics of fasteners may vary
between batches. Note that this method
requires a degree of operator skill and
training, can be relatively time-consuming.
c Condition Monitoring RotaBolt

Load-monitored fasteners (RotaBolt)
These are accurate, quick and easy to use.
RotaBolts are a state of the art system
where a modified bolt or stud has an
indicator cap fitted at the end which locks
when the required tensile load is attained.
There is a small gap between the end of the
bolt and the cap when the fastener is in the
unstressed state. As the fastener is tightened
it stretches and the gap closes. The gap
setting depends upon the desired tension
to be achieved, and once the cap locks-up,
then this value has been attained. This
method ensures rapid and easy installation
as well as simple in-service condition
monitoring of the fastener tension. The
RotaBolt 2 system has dual indicators
offering max and min settings to show a

loading band for greater accuracy in
situations where some overall joint relaxation
might be anticipated. All fasteners are load
tested to the desired design tension as an
additional check of their material integrity.
Note of course that each set of fasteners
are factory pre-set to a load requested by
the user. Thus, these should only be used
with the vessel or piping that they are
intended for, as a different piping system
and gasket type may require a different load
setting. This system is not suitable for small
diameter fasteners (e.g. below 5/8 / M16).

Notes:- 1) Proof loads for stainless steels and B

grades are approximate values and based
upon experience.
2) Maximum bolt stresses for B and A grades
are specified in BS 4882 and BS 6105. Values
for the stainless steels (e.g. B8 and the A
grades) must be adhered to. The B grade
low alloy steels can safely be loaded to the
values listed above.
3) The maximum values for the B steels
(except B8) and ISO steels are based upon
approximately 85% of the listed proof load,
as the true onset of yield can often be
detected at a slightly lower than theoretical
stress point.

Information in this publication and otherwise supplied to

users is based on our general experience and is given
in good faith, but because of factors which are outside
our knowledge and control and affect the use of products,
no warranty is given or implied with respect to such
information. Specifications are subject to change without
notice. Statements of operating limits quoted in this
publication are not an indication that these values can
be simultaneously applied.
HEALTH WARNING:
If PTFE (e.g. Fluolion) products are heated to elevated
temperatures, fumes will be produced which may give
unpleasant effects, if inhaled. Whilst some fumes are
emitted below 300C, the effect at these temperatures is
negligible. Care should be taken to avoid contaminating
tobacco with PTFE particles or dispersion which may
remain on hands or clothing. Health & Safety data sheets
are available on request.
