Abstract

This article provides guidance on how to prevent gasket blow-outs in flanged piping connections. It shows that blow-out resistance is not primarily a function of gasket tensile strength, but rather a number of other factors, including clamping force, flange surface texture, temperature, gasket creep resistance, joint rigidity and internal pressure. The text explores the impact of clamping force and also includes supporting calculations.
