Dear all,
Please I want to find out if it is proper to have an all flanged conection within a Gas Plant. I have always thouht of flanges as potential leak point.

RE: gas plant pipings connection
Flanges should be kept to a minimum for cost reasons, but welded in valve are problems, so flanged valves are used and the risk of a leak at the flange is acceptable over the life of the plant.
so, think along risk versus reward lines.....

Look into hydraulic tensioning if you are concerned about flange leaks.
