Joint Failure Prevention Guide

When a bolted flange joint leaks, the instinct is often to blame the gasket. However, modern research shows that leakage is usually the result of system level factors within the bolted flange joint assembly. The bolted flange joint assembly (BFJA) is a system made up of multiple interdependent components: the gasket, the flanges, the fasteners, lubrication, and installation practices. Calling every joint leak a “gasket failure” is looking only at the tip of the iceberg, because the performance of the joint depends on the interaction of all the components that make up the assembly.
