The requirements set for bolted connections in the Chemical, Oil & Gas and Power industries with regards to quality and reliability have increased significantly. Developments in bolt materials and types of gasket require a good, pre– calculated tension in the bolted connection. Pre– calculated bolted connections will significantly reduce the risk of leaks. There is also a tendency to further increase flange (and bolt) dimensions as a result of increasing process pressures and temperatures, as a result of which the quality of the connections is becoming an increasingly important factor with regards to the continuity of the process. The controlled securing of flange connections and bolted connections is therefore of vital importance in the construction of new installations and the maintenance of existing installations.
