Flange Leakage Check by DNV method-PASS
Flange Leakage Check by DNV method-PASS
Flange Leakage Check by DNV method-PASS
Formula used:
Where P = Design pressure (bar)
F = axial force(N)
G =diameter at location of gasket load reaction =(Gasket OD+ID)/2 when bo<=6 mm
=(Gasket OD-2b) when bo>6 mm. Here bo=basic gasket seating
width as given in table 2-5.2 of ASME sec VIII
M = Bending moment
Mo = Out plane bending moment
Mi = Inplane bending moment
where Fm factor can be taken from the following table
IMPORTANCE :
Flange leakage is a serious problem in the Piping Industry. It has a tremendous potential to cause a severe
hazard in plants. Hence, the possibility of leakage needs to be investigated during the design stage to
reduce leakage possibility during operation.
