What is Bolt Torque for Flanged Connections about?

This article discusses determining the proper bolt torque for flanged connections to ensure effective sealing of the gasket. It explains that torque applied to the bolts generates axial load on the bolt which compresses the gasket. The relationship between torque, axial bolt force, and gasket load is expressed through a formula. Proper bolt torque is important to compress the gasket enough for sealing while avoiding overstretching the bolts, which can reduce gasket load. The minimum required bolt load is ba
