AN ANALYSIS OF THE WORK OF GLAND SEALS WITH INSIDE AND WITH OUTSIDE SEATING OF THE PRESSURE FLANGE

摘要

A comparative analysis of gland seals with inside and with outside seating of the pressure flange that demonstrates the advantages of inside seating is presented. In this case there arises self-sealing and the load on the packing decreases and is distributed more efficiently. These factors together reduce the materials consumption of the elements of the joint while maintaining its air tightness.
