Available Gasket Stress vs. Bolt Stress
150# Flat Face Flanges
This table is for information purposes only; see notes below.
Notes:
1 The values shown are not recommended values. The intent of this
table is to illustrate the relationship between bolt torque, bolt stress,
gasket stress, and how these three factors relate to the contact area of
ASME B16.5 & B16.47 Series A fat face fanges.
2 Full face gaskets will typically seal at stresses well below the minimum
recommended values shown. See also “Flanges” on page C-50.
3 Contact Garlock Applications Engineering at 1-800-448-6688 for
further discussions regarding the use of compressed non-asbestos,
GYLON® or GRAPH-LOCK® products in fat face fanges.
