Flange leakage in emissions service can result in lost production and money. If a plant is going to reduce emissions at a plant, one important step that is often overlooked is the procedures of flange sealing. This training will focus on the best practices for successful flange sealing including gasket seating stresses, torque calculations, and gasket selection.
Some other topics that will be discussed are the following:
- Flange and bolts inspection
- Flange Condition
- Torque patterns
- Anti-seize and K factor
- Alignment
- Flange Rotation
- Heat Exchangers
- Nut Embedment
