Abstract

The deformation, the stress distribution, and the contact pressure of gaskets used in sealing flanges of CF (Con-Flat) or IPD (Improved) type were calculated to investigate the possibility of analyzing and estimatimg the sealing performance under a given tightening condition for a specific flange system.

컨플래트 (Con-Flat) 및 개량형 (IPD) 플랜지에서 개스킷을 넣고 체결할 때 나사의 체결력 또는 선하중에 따라 플랜지 및 개스킷에 발생하는 변형량, 응력 분포, 접촉 면압 따위의 계산을 통해 플랜지 날의 형상이나 체결조건이 기밀에 미치는 영향을 분석 또는 예측하는 것이 가능한지를 판단해 보았다.
