Investigation of large-diameter flange joint with soft-gasket

Đorđe Jovanović, Andrija Rašeta, Momčilo Spasojević, Igor Džolev

Abstract

This study focuses on behaviour of the flanged joint with a soft rubber gasket, which is a common type of gasket for evaporator structures. The assembled structure is tested according to EN 13445-3, and strain values are measured using strain gauges. The numerical analysis in ABAQUS comprises several models with different levels of detail. These models are calibrated according to test data. Recommendations regarding the model complexity that is required to obtain satisfactory prediction of non-linear behaviour of flange joints are presented and documented.

Keywords
flange joint, soft gasket, numerical simulations of joints, large-diameter pressure vessel
