diaphragm closure seal
diaphragm closure seal
(OP)
Hi all,
I have a high pressure exchanger with a "seal-welded diaphragm closure" for the channel cover.
Reading some info about this gasket type made me wonder if I need to calculate the bolting torque/load like a self-energizing gasket or not (asme VIII div1 appendix2).

Someone has experience with these gaskets?
Thanks in advance.
