Triangle Fluid Controls prides itself in
offering high-quality fabricated sealing
components with high-precision and fast
turnaround capabilities. Our facility in
Belleville, Ontario, Canada, manufactures
and fabricates sealing products from
sheet materials using 3 primary
methods: gasket cutting, welding, and
lathe cutting. Through our extensive
network of global fabricators, TFC can
also offer custom sealing solutions using
materials and equipment not available

(Instructions: Initial each step when completed in space provided below)

___ 1. Visually examine and clean flanges, bolts, nuts, and washers. Replace defective components if
necessary.
___ 2. Lubricate bolts, nuts, and flange surface around bolt holes and use hardened steel washers.
___ 3. Install new gasket. Do not reuse old gasket or use multiple gaskets.
___ 4. Number bolts in cross-pattern sequence according to the sketch below.
___ 5. Important! Hand tighten then pre-tighten bolts to 10/20 ft-lbs torque but do not exceed 20% of target
torque.
___ 6. Check gap uniformity.
___ 7. Use the appropriate cross-pattern tightening sequence in the sketch below for Rounds 1, 2, 3, and
Round 4 (each sequence constitutes a Round).
___ 8. Target Torque: _ ft-lbs
4-bolt & 8-bolt flanges: 12-bolt flanges & above:

Round 1: Tighten to _______ ft-lbs (30% target) Round 1: Tighten to _______ ft-lbs (20% target)
Round 4: Tighten to _______ ft-lbs (100% target)
Check gap around the circumference between each of these rounds, measured at every other bolt. If the gap
is not reasonably uniform around the circumference, make the appropriate adjustments by selective bolt
tightening before proceeding.
__ 9. Rotational Round: 100% of the Target Torque. Use rotational, clockwise tightening sequence starting
with Bolt #1 for one complete round and continue until no further nut rotation occurs at 100% of the
Target Torque value for any nut.
__ 10. Final Round: Retorque after 24 hours. Repeat Round 4 above followed by a Rotational Round. A
large percentage of short-term preload loss occurs within 24 hours after initial tightening. This Round
covers this loss. This is especially important for PTFE gaskets.

*Based on 1/16” Durlon® 8500. Minimum values for Durlon® 8300, 9400 and 9600 may require higher loads. Minimum sealing requirements for other Durlon® materials may be
lower.
Note: It is assumed that new ASTM A193 Gr. B7 studs with 2H heavy hex nuts and hardened steel washers are used and studs, nuts, and nut facings are lubricated with a anti-seize
paste (K=0.17) using the installation and bolt tightening practices outlined above. Torque is based the higher of 40% of bolt yield, T3 or 4,800 psi gasket stress up to either the
maximum allowable material stress or a maximum bolt yield of 60%. The above was calculated using the proposed ASME Gasket Constants (ROTT Testing, École Polytechnique) for
each material.
Flat face flanges using full face gaskets, the recommended torque value is generally the maximum allowable torque based on the allowable bolt area. Flat face flanges have the
same bolting as raised face flanges but roughly 3 to 4 times the surface area being compressed. This makes flat face flanges very difficult to seal unless a gasket with low
compression characteristics is used.
Bolt stresses may exceed those allowed by ASME.

This information is a general guide for the selection of a suitable gasket material. The substances listed above are evaluated for their effect on the gasket materials at ambient temperature
-40°F/C to 38°C (100°F) unless stated otherwise. For unusual conditions of fluid concentrates, internal pressures or temperature consult your representative. This evalation is based on
laboratory or field tests, or experience; however, no guarantee can be given as to the actual performance experienced by the end user.
There are several fluids used in food which can be sealed by SBR, however due to flavour pickup, we have marked these products “Caution.”
56 These chemical resistance charts supersede and obsolete all previously issued charts.

Materials should never be recommended when both temperature and pressure are at the maximum listed. Properties
and applications in this handbook are typical. No application should be undertaken by anyone without independent
study and evaluation for suitability. Never use more than one gasket in one flange joint and never reuse a gasket.
Improper use or gasket selection could cause property damage and/or serious personal injury. Data reported in this
handbook is a compilation of field testing, field service reports and/or in-house testing. While the utmost care has
gone into publishing the information contained herein, we assume no responsibility for errors. Specifications and
