Abstract

Abstract The paper provides a mechanical performance comparison between two types of gaskets; the GMCL and the Hybrid gaskets. A nonlinear FEA modeling was used to determine the pressure variations across the gasket face. The models determine pressure distribution on gasket face during installation, followed by gradual increase in pressure and temperature to represent normal operation condition. In all of these stages, the details of: gasket seating, gasket sealing and flange face rotation are all determined and compared.
