Tightness of flanged joints
To guarantee safety during plant operation only a limited amount of load acting on a flanged joint is permitted (proof of strength). Beyond this a sufficiently high pressure level acting on the gasket surface is necessary to ensure tightness (proof of tightness). Therefore suitable and commonly accepted calculation methods are required. TÜV SÜD relies on analytical calculation methods, such as EN, KTA, ASME, as well as on detailed Finite Element Analyses.

| Your advantages: |
Tight flanged joints prevent problems and additional costs.
have noticeably increased requirements regarding flanged joints in the past few years. This applies not only to piping systems and pressure vessels but also to any sealed device. |
An appropriate and suitable design and qualification of flanged joints is essential for ensuring safe and smooth plant operation.
