Flange joint sealing performance plays a critical role in the safety and efficiency of systems ranging from nuclear reactor pressure vessels to chemical processing plants. ... Gasket: A sealing ...

Engineers need to understand the behavior of bolts, flanges, seals, and gaskets to design reliable connections. Sound designs of bolted joints rely on a good grasp of their structural behavior ...

The primary function of a static gasket—or flange gasket—is to ensure the seal between a liquid or gaseous substance and the atmosphere. Latty offers a wide range of industrial sealing gaskets ...

The article continued, “Being deeply corrugated, this gasket will make a steam-tight joint even where the flange surface is unusually rough.” Somewhat surprisingly, similarly designed gaskets ...
