How Bolt Tensioning and Flange Management are Done

1. Preparation and Inspection:

   • Flange and Gasket Inspection: Before starting, we thoroughly inspect the flange surfaces and gaskets to ensure they are free from defects such as nicks, dents, or warping¹. Proper alignment and cleanliness are crucial for a successful seal.
   • Bolt Selection: We select bolts that are appropriate for the operating conditions, considering factors like temperature variations and material compatibility².

2. Cleaning and Lubrication:

   • Surface Cleaning: Using tools like wire brushes and scrapers, we clean the flange surfaces and bolt threads to remove any debris or old gasket material².
   • Lubrication: We apply high-quality lubricants to the bolt threads and bearing surfaces to ensure uniform tension and prevent galling².

3. Gasket Installation:

   • Proper Placement: The gasket is carefully placed between the flanges, ensuring it is centered and free from damage². This step is vital for achieving a leak-free seal.

4. Bolt Tightening:

   • Controlled Tightening: Using calibrated torque wrenches or hydraulic tensioners, we tighten the bolts in a cross-pattern sequence to ensure even distribution of pressure³. This method prevents gasket damage and ensures a secure seal.
   • Torque Verification: We verify the applied torque to ensure it meets the specified requirements, adjusting as necessary to maintain the integrity of the joint³.
