Abstract

This technical note presents joint strength and sealing capability of a gasketed flange joint using extensive experimental studies with different load combinations. Actual joint load capacity is determined under both the design and proof test pressure with maximum additional external loading (axial and bending) that can be applied for safe joint performance. In addition, application of combined load is also discussed in the light of equivalent pressure approach.
