Bolted Joints and Gasket Behavior
What you'll learn
Explain how the bolted joint functions as a mechanical system that relies on the simultaneous interaction of the three primary components to successfully seal the connection
Assess the mechanical stress and strain of a bolt and explain the challenges that one encounters when specifying an optimum bolt load
Evaluate the total state of stress in bolts and how this effects the selection of a given bolt type and grade
Describe the effects of in-service conditions and how they reduce or increase bolt load
Describe the concept of leak tightness as a predictable value of gasket stress and how to use leak tightness as the basis of specifying bolt loads
Identify conditions that create bolt failure
Use ASME PCC-1 Guidelines for compliance to successful sealing of bolted, gasketed connections
Discern how to use either stress or strain to select bolt load
Evaluate the various methods of attaining bolt load.
