Gaskets And Gasketed Joints

Bringing together decades of research findings into a single, coherent source, this practical guide discusses industrial, automotive, and chemical gasket types and materials from selection, installation, and testing to applications and problem-solving and prevention methods. The coverage includes, but is not limited to, the complex mechanical and l

Gaskets and Gasketed Joints, Second Edition is an extensive revision of a book that brought together decades of research findings into a single, coherent source. Beginning with a review of the various types of gaskets, including industrial and chemical, it then moves to evaluating and testing them. These tests range from searching for high cycle vibrating service to the ones responsible for shell and tube heat exchange. The results allow for the selected, specified, and qualified gaskets to be discussed in detail, including an analysis of their behavior. The newest technology behind assembling, operating, and repairing vessel joints concludes the revision.

Redesigned for increased accessibility, this fourth edition of the bestselling Introduction to the Design and Behavior of Bolted Joints has been divided into two separate but complementary volumes. Each volume contains the basic information useful to bolting experts in any industry, but because the two volumes are more clearly focused, they are eas

Offering a broad-based review of the factors affecting the design, assembly and behaviour of bolted joints and their components in all industries, this work details various assembly options as well as specific failure modes and strategies for their avoidance. This edition features material on: the contact stresses between bolt head or nut face and the joint; thread forms, series and classes; the stiffness of raised face flange joints; and more.

Presenting time-tested standard as well as reliable emerging knowledge on threaded fasteners and joints, this book covers how to select parts and materials, predict behavior, control assembly processes, and solve on-the-job problems. It examines key issues affecting bolting in the automotive, pressure vessel, petrochemical, aerospace, and structural steel industries. The editors have successfully created a useful rather than scholarly handbook with chapters written in a straightforward, how-to-do-it manner. Theory is discussed only when necessary and the handbook's logical organization and thorough index enhances its usefulness.

This guide advises on the selection of gaskets for fixed joints (not opening joints) in the external envelope of buildings. Gaskets are the main alternative to sealants for sealing joints in construction. Gasketted joints can provide effective weathersealing, but this requires appropriately designed joints and gaskets coupled with the use of suitable gasket materials. This Digest covers the physical properties of gaskets that need to be considered, including durability under various conditions. General principles for the design of gasket joints and typical applications are described.
