Based on ANSI RF flanges at our preferred torque. When approaching maximum pressure, continuous operating temperature, minimum
temperature or 50% of maximum PxT, consult Garlock Applications Engineering. Minimum temperature rating is conservative.

Minimum recommended assembly stress = 4,800psi. Preferred assembly stress = 6,000-10,000psi. Gasket thickness of 1/16" strongly preferred.
Retorque the bolts/studs prior to pressurizing the assembly. For saturated steam above 150psig or superheated steam, consult Garlock Engineering.
