This document defines a calculation method for bolted, gasketed, circular flange joints. Its purpose is to
ensure structural integrity and control of leak tightness. It uses gasket parameters based on definitions
and test methods specified in EN 13555:2021.
The calculation method is not applicable to joints with a metallic contact out of the sealing face or to joints
whose rigidity varies appreciably across gasket width. For gaskets in incompressible materials, which
permit large deformations, the results given by the calculation method can be excessively conservative (i.e. required bolting load too high, allowable pressure of the fluid too low, required flange thickness too large, etc.).
