Abstract
This paper analyzes the common practices of flange leakage check in piping design, compares the advantages and disadvantages of these methods, and propose a new engineering method considering bolt pre-tightening stress; gasket stress and piping stress, which based on flange installation requirements of ASME PCC-1 and equivalent Pressure. The key steps of this method and the matters need attention in engineering application are introduced by calculation example. The new method is scientific, reasonable, simple and easy to use approved by engineering practice. The method has reference significance for flange leakage check and flange installation in piping engineering.
