 Strength and Tightness Analysis of Flanged Joints According to EN 1591-1 Using Gaskets per EN 1514

  • Calculation of flanged joints with circular flanges
  • Special flanges and standard flanges in accordance with EN 1092-1 or ASME B16.5
  • Strength verification of all pressure-retaining components
  • Determination of required gasket seating forces and tightening torques
  • Performed using the software TEMES fl.cal

Strength and Tightness Analysis of Flanged Joints Not Covered by EN 1591-1, Using AD 2000-B7/B8 or Alternative Calculation Models


  • Calculation of flanged joints with non-circular geometries
  • Strength verification of all pressure-retaining components
  • Determination of required gasket seating forces and tightening torques
  • Performed using the software EXP B7/B8

Strength and Tightness Analysis of Header Flange Joints on Air Coolers

  • Calculation of flanged joints with rectangular flanges
  • Incorporation of key calculation parameters from EN 1591-1
  • Unlike AD 2000-B7/B8: uses gasket parameters from gasketdata.org / ESA
  • Analytical verification for installation, pressure testing, and operating conditions
  • Structural integrity verification of the header cover thickness
  • Performed using the software EXP Aircooler

Strength and Tightness Analysis of RTJ Connections Based on EN 1591-1

  • Strength verification of all pressure-retaining components
  • Approach for the evaluation of resulting contact pressures
  • Determination of required gasket seating forces and tightening torques

Calculation of Actuation Forces for Valve Stems

  • Split rising stem in stuffing box
  • Solid rising stem in stuffing box
  • Solid rotating stem in stuffing box
  • Solid threaded stem in stuffing box
  • Performed using the software EXP Arma S  

Tightness Calculation for Stems with Stuffing Box Seals

  • Stem sealing systems for industrial valves
  • Leakage evaluation for sterilizers, mixers, and agitators with large-diameter stems

Elasticity Verification of Spring-Loaded Flange Sealing Systems
