Abstract
Use of the conventional gasketed pipe joint with raised-face flanges is questioned. In this note the author demonstrates the interaction of forces and displacements within the structure, explains why gaskets leak, points out the weaknesses of the bolting and also some inconsistencies in codes and standards. An alternative compact flange design is presented based on modern principles of bolted joint engineering.
