Why is torque management 'essential'? - Correct tightening procedures practiced on-site.
Leakage from gaskets in plant and factory piping flanges is a serious issue that directly leads to production stoppages, energy losses, and significant safety accidents. Remarkably, research shows that about two-thirds of all gasket-related troubles are caused by "poor installation." Among these installation issues, the overwhelming majority is due to "inadequate management of tightening force." In this article, we will thoroughly explain why "torque management" is essential for gasket sealing, covering the fundamental theory, the correct tightening procedures that can be practiced on-site starting tomorrow (in accordance with JIS B 2251), and specific examples of the three most common tightening failures (under-tightening, over-tightening, and uneven tightening) along with their countermeasures. *For detailed content of the column, please refer to the PDF.
