Calculate pressure on a gasket from screw joint
Hello! How do you calculate the pressure on a gasket from two flanges that is being pressed together by screws. Say you have 5 x M10 screws and you apply 50NM torque on every screw. The surface area of one flange that is in contact with the gasket is 225 square centimeters. See picture...- Bjorn92
