Titanium gasket seating data
Titanium gasket seating data
(OP)
Hello,
For a customer I have to recalculate flanges for a heat exchanger. I need the minimum and maximum allowable gasket seating stresses of a Titanium Gr.1 (ASTM B265 Gr.1) Ø1199xØ1145x6 mm (47.2"x45"x0,25") solid flat gasket.
Is there any literature where I could possibly find these data, or is there anybody how knows this?
Kind regards,
Kelly

That is our problem right now. It is not a problem if we have to change the calculation, but we must clarify where gasket parameters come from.

Now, are you talking about the "y" value used in Appendix 2 design, or are you talking about applied assembly stress?

I have had contact with a gasket manufacturer and a heat-exchanger manufacturer which uses solid titanium gaskets. I have not had the time to figure out wether the formula's they provided can be of use for me. I have yet to study them.
