Leakage cause analysis of a flange joint designed according to standards
Original language description
The design of flanges is linked to the use of relevant standards; in the chemical, petrochemical and energy industries. The modern standards EN 13445 [1], which are focused on design of unfired pressure vessels, are often used to design flanges. There is a danger of possible flange joints leakages in operation. Whether the flange connection is designed with standardized parts where the calculation is not necessary or it is designed by strength calculation according to this standard, such procedure does not ensure that the flange joint is sealed, as will be shown in the article. This situation is, for example, a leak due to insufficient contact pressure on the sealing surfaces. The flange joint undergoes several load-bearing operations. When assembling, the cold flange connection is tightened to the specified pretension. When operating media is introduced, there may be significant changes in stress distribution due to thermal expansion, presenting a transient state between assembly and nominal operatio
