Full face gaskets 1

KN25 · Dec 11, 2011

Hi all,

Does any one know how to calculate the gasket seating load for a full face gasket?
I don't think I allowed to use ASME VIII, Div 1 Appendix 2, since the gasket outer diameter is larger the bolts center diameter.

Please note that I am new to the forum, and to pressure vessels design, so please give me baby steps answers.

Your help is greatly appreciated.

Try Appendix Y. That is in the section of non-mandatory Appendixes.

Thanks for the bulletin, I found out about TAYLOR buletins today, when I tried to model this in Compress.

I couldn't open the bulletin???? I didn't see a file extension on it. Did it get corrupted?

OK, there was a pound sign in the file name (#45) that was causing the failure, file name truncated at the symbol.

???

I can see you had to pound the daylights out of that problem before it fit the file name ..... 8<)
