3. NATURE OF PHYSICAL PROBLEM SOLVED: Flange design for helium circuits

[ top ]

4. METHOD OF SOLUTION

This is a flange design programme based on the Taylor forge method with an additional calculation of flange rotation and bolt load change during the application of internal pressure. The method relates only to the integral hub type of flange, with or without a secondary O-ring seal but will deal also with the flange and cover plate case.
