针对快速装配应用，提出了一种采用3个螺栓的自能式密封连接器的新设计。采用有限元分析方法，分析了3英寸和10英寸连接器密封环在初始紧固过程和随后的工作压力下的接触压力分布。对3“和10”ANSI射频法兰组件进行了有限元分析，比较了射频垫圈和锥形密封环组件上的接触压力分布。对锥形密封件和ANSI螺栓连接件进行静水压试验，以评估这两种尺寸组件发生泄漏的最大压力。版权所有：2009，ASME
A novel design using 3 bolts for a self-energized seal connector is proposed for quick assembly applications. Contact pressure distribution on the surface of the seal ring during initial bolt-up and subsequent operating pressure is analyzed for 3″ and 10″ connectors using Finite Element Analysis. FEA is performed on a 3″ and 10″ ANSI RF flange assembly and contact pressure distribution on the RF gasket is compared with the tapered seal ring assemblies. Hydrostatic tests are carried out for the tapered seal and ANSI bolted connectors to evaluate maximum pressure at which leak occurs for both size assemblies.Copyright © 2009 by ASME
