Gasket with bars - what method of calculation.
Gasket with bars - what method of calculation.
(OP)
Hi,
Is any method in ASME Code to calculate gaskets with bars? Or, should I use s. VIII (flanges) and add areas of bars to an area of a gasket? I dont think it will be correct.

"r" may be taken to ring portion ID or centerline, "b" is often taken as the effective seating width (as per Table 2.5.2 in Appendix 2) or may be taken as full width N.
Sorry all my refs are to US Codes / Standards, hope you find this helpful.

1. for a circular part of a gasket: Wm1=H+Hp; Wm2=3.14*b*G*y
2. for ribs: Hp_=b*r*m; Wm2_=b*r*y
3. Wm1=Wm1+Wm1_; Wm2=Wm2+Wm2_
Thats right?
