Again About Washers in subsea application
Again About Washers in subsea application
(OP)
There was a thread in this forum about "using washers in subsea bolted connections" (thread311-296001: subsea fasteners).
It was suggested there that no washers are usually used in subsea applications. But why?
As washers are required to provide larger pressure area, avoid component (let's assume flanges) damage during fastening, etc. Why we should not use them? and if we don't, how we handle these problems which could not be tackled onshore without washers?
