Flange Calculations
New or updated regulations require a more comprehensive analysis of sealed connections. Guidelines demand for "professional design" and "the use of suitable gasket characteristics". In order to meet such requirements, explicit analysis based on calculation is necessary.
The main task of any calculation is to determine the required
- assembly bolt force.
This value is absolutely essential, whether it is a standard connection or a special design. Without this value (or the specification of a corresponding tightening torque), reliable assembly is not possible.
To ensure safe operation, it is necessary to limit the stresses that occur in operation:
- proof of integrity.
In addition, sufficient surface pressure of the seal must be guaranteed during operation:
- proof of tightness.
To meet these essential tasks, we have developed the software TEMESfl.cal and we do extensive flange calculation services.
