2. APPLICATION OF TIGHTENING
2.1. Make sure the flanges are clean and free of any serious defects.
2.2. Place the gasket on flange surface to be sealed, bringing the opposing flange into
contact with the gasket.
2.3. Centre the gasket on the flange, which important for raised face flange.
2.4. Clean bolts and lubricate them with graphite and oil mixture.
2.5. Place the stud bolt into bolt hole and fingers tighten the nuts.
2.6. Tighten the bolts correctly to compress gasket uniformly
2.7. Use torque wrench and well-lubricated fasteners to ensure correct initial loading.
2.8. Do not tighten bolts more than 30% of recommended bolt stress during the initial tighten
sequence. This will cause cooking of flange and crushing of the gasket
2.9. Do not clockwise bolt to bolt torque checks upon reaching recommended torque
requirements to ensure bolts have been stressed. It is important to pre-stress the bolts to
ensure continuance of an adequate stress load in operating conditions.
3. ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA
Torque values conform to table attached
No leakage in flange joint during pressure test.
