GASKET INSTALLATION PROCEDURES AND LEAKS
I. Installation Procedure:
To obtain a satisfactory seal, it is necessary that basic procedures are followed during installation. These procedures
are of fundamental importance for a successful operation no matter what style of gasket or material used.
a) Inspect the flange sealing surface. Check for tool marks, dents, scratches or corrosion. Radial tool marks on the
sealing surface are difficult to seal regardless of the style of gasket. Be sure that the finish is adequate for the style of gasket
being used.
b) Inspect the gasket. Verify to be sure the gasket material is compatible with the intended service. Check for defects
and shipping or storage damage and tool marks on solid gaskets.
c) Inspect and clean bolts, nuts, and washers.
d) Lubricate bolt threads and the nut contact surfaces. Do not install bolts and nuts without lubrication. The lubricant
should be compatible with the service temperature.
e) For raised or flat faced flanges installed vertically, installation is started by the bolts on the lower part. Install the
gasket then the other bolts.
f) For male and female or tongue and groove flanges, the gasket should be installed in the center of the groove.
g) Tighten the bolts approximately 30% of the final torque following the sequence shown in the below diagrams for
the different types of flanges. Number the screws to facilitate following the tightening order. If the correct tightening sequence
is not followed, the flanges may be misaligned, making it impossible to have a uniform seating of the gasket.
h) Repeat step g, elevating the torque from 50% to 65% of the final value.
i) Continue tightening in the recommended sequence until the final value is reached. The same bolt normally has to
be tightened more than once.
j) All gaskets relax after seating. Retightening is recommended 24 hours after installation to compensate for the
relaxation.

II. Tightening Sequence:

TECHNICAL MANUAL

GASKETS.DOC

CAIN BOLT & GASKET, INC.

III. Torque Values:

The most correct method for obtaining the correct seating stress is to apply the bolt load by direct measuring its
tension. However, in practice, this procedure is cumbersome and of difficult execution. If direct tension measuring is not
possible, it is recommended to use a torque wrench or hydraulic tools. The use of manual tools without torque control is
acceptable only in non-critical applications.

IV. Allowable Bolt Stress:

The ASME Pressure Vessel and Boiler Code, Section VIII, Appendix S specifically deals with the bolt stress. For
example, the designer of the flange should determine the necessary tightening for the temperature and pressure in specific
operational conditions according to the allowable bolt stress at the operating temperature.
Hydrostatic testing, which in the majority of cases is necessary to verify the system, is done at one and a half times
the operational pressure. Consequently, a flanged joint designed in accordance with the ASME Code, which should be
hydrostatic tested with a pressure higher than the design pressure, has to be tightened for the test.
The ASME Pressure Vessel and Boiler Code, Section VIII, Appendix S established that in order to pass the
hydrostatic test, the bolts must be tightened up to the torque necessary for that purpose. If, in this case, the tension is greater
than what is admissible, bolts made with a higher allowable tension material should be used observing the following
procedure:
- Use bolts with allowable tension compatible with the one necessary to pass the hydostatic test, following the normal
installation procedure for the gasket.
- After the hydrostatic test is completed, loosen the bolts approximately 50% of the initial tension.
- Replace the bolts used for the test with the originally designed bolts, one at a time, tightening until reaching the torque of
the other bolts.
- After replacing all bolts, tighten them up to the design torque following the recommended sequence.

V. Thermal Growth:
When the bolts are tightened to resist the existing forces of the system, care should be taken with tensions caused by
different thermal growth coefficients of the materials and by the temperature gradient in the flanges and bolts.
Whenever thermal growth is a serious problem it is recommended that the gasket be seated up to a point to allow an
additional seating when the operational temperature is reached.
The use of longer bolts or spring washers as shown below is also recommended.

VI. Leakage:
One of the most efficient ways to analyze the causes of leakage is to carefully analyze the gasket used when such a
leakage has taken place as shown below.
- A very corroded gasket: select a material with better corrosion resistance.
- A very extruded gasket: select a material with a better cold flow resistance or with a higher seating stress, use a compression
limiter ring or redesign the flanges.
- Gasket with a damaged sealing surface: verify the gasket and flange dimensions. It could be that the gasket has the inside
diameter smaller that the inside diameter of the flange or the outside diameter of the gasket is larger than the outside diameter
of the flange.
- Gasket not seated: select a softer gasket or reduce that contact area between gasket and flange.
- Gasket thinner at the outside diameter: indication of a "rotation" or flange deflection. Change the gasket dimensions in a way
that it fits closer to the bolts to reduce the rotational torque. Select a softer gasket that requires a lower seating stress. Reduce
the area of the gasket. Reinforce the flange to increase its rigidity.
- Gasket irregularly seated: incorrect procedure in tightening the bolts. Make sure the tightening sequence of the bolts is
followed properly.
- Gasket with regularly varying thickness: indication of flanges with excessive distance between bolts or without sufficient
rigidity. Reinforce the flanges, reduce the distance between bolts or select a softer gasket.

VII. Misaligned Flanges:

When the flanges are not aligned, as shown below, it is not recommended to align them by tightening the bolts.
Misalignments must be corrected.

ENGINEERING DATA: BOLTS, STUDS, AND NUTS

Materials sold by Cain Bolt & Gasket are manufactured from quality materials meeting the physical and
chemical requirements of both The American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) and The American
Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). These quality controlled materials are normally used by the petroleum,
petrochemical and process industries in valves, flanges, piping systems, pressure vessels, etc.
The design codes used by the various industries specify the bolting requirements by ASTM or ASME
designations and give the limitations of each. Selection of a bolting material will normally be governed by design
requirements, service conditions, desired mechanical properties and temperature characteristics. The following is a
partial listing, by specification, of the most commonly used bolting materials:

The most commonly used Ferritic steel stud grades are Grade B7 and Grade B7M, which are normally used from 50 F. to 1000 F., and Grade B16, which are normally used from - -50 F to 1100 F. These types are stock items,
with the other listed grades available on a special order basis. The most commonly used Austenitic steel studs are
Grade B8 and Grade B8M, in both the Class 1 (Carbide Solution Treated) and Class 2 (Carbide Solution Treated
and Strain-Hardened) conditions. These Austenitic steel grades are stocked, with the others available on a special
order basis. The Austenitic group of steels are normally used in service temperatures from -325 F. to 1500 F.

The Ferritic steel Grades L7 and L7M together with the Austenitic Grades B8 and B8M are normally stocked
for immediate shipment, with the other Grades available on special order. Grade L7 is normally used to 500F
without a Charpy Test and to -150 F with a Charpy Test. Grade L7M is normally used In H2S service with a
required Charpy Test at -1000F. All of the Austenitic steels listed above may be used to -325 0F without a Charpy
Irnpact Test and at lower temperatures with the requisite Impact Tests.

Ferritic steel nuts are manufactured In Grades 2H, 2M and 7, which are normally used in conjunction with
Grade B7, B7M, B16, L7 and L7M studs. The Austenitic steel nuts, Grade 8 and 8M are also available from stock
for use on stainless steel studs and bolts. Heavy pattern hex nuts are available in the grades listed above to the
dimensional requirements of ANSI B18.2.2. Unless otherwise specified, these nuts are tapped 8UNC-2B in sizes 1
and under, and 8UN-2B over 1 diameter. All other grades of nuts listed may require special order.
