Abstract

It was determined experimentally that to provide complete sealing, the value of the contact pressure on the sealing surface must be three times greater than the internal pressure. The tightness of flange connections is provided by creating the necessary pressure on the sealing surfaces of the flanges. Moreover, the required specific pressure is created in the seals by tightening the bolts fastening the flanges. The amount of leakage is influenced by the surface roughness and the accuracy of the manufacturing of the sealing elements.
