Abstract
It is shown that the mode of setting gasket between flanges significantly affects its axial pliability, which is a key flanged-joint calculation parameter. Fluoroplastic-4 (Teflon) gasket has been studied for four modes of setting gasket between flanges: with primary compression (without lateral restraint), with one-sided internal restraint, with one-sided external restraint, and with volumetric (three-dimensional) compression. It is shown that the mode of setting gasket markedly affects the leak-tightness of the joint and the strength of its individual components. The described calculation procedure can be used to obtain the required data also for flanged joints with gasket made of materials that differ from fluoroplastic-4 in physicomechanical parameters.
