.... Based on the results, the integrity and performance of the structure are assessed in view of a leakage through the gasket criterion and a yielding of the HDPE stub-end criterion. The FEA results reveal that both T b , P i , and T o significantly influence the performance (i.e., leakage) of the gasket...

... with spiral wound gasket. Twin gasket is able to withstand higher bending moment without leakage compared to single gasket. Results show that the allowable load on flange joint depends on operating temperature and gasket configuration. B = flange inner diameter BM = external bending...

...Toshimichi Fukuoka; Masataka Nomura; Takashi Nishikawa Sealing of contained fluids is the primary performance required for pipe flange connections. It is well known that the leakage is likely to occur when contained fluids at high temperature are concerned. Due to the differential thermal expansion...

... reinforcements employing uniaxial tensile test rods and tubular samples. Specimens were produced by wet filament winding using a common thermoset epoxy polymer. In addition to rod sample rupture strength, the failure behavior and strength of tube specimens were assessed for leakage and bursting under different...

...William J. Koves This paper uses an analytical model based on the Pressure Vessel Research Council (PVRC) ROTT test gasket constants to compute leakage in gasketed flange joints subjected to internal pressure and external bending moments. The model results are compared to test data, and design...
