These tables were developed to be used with Garlock spiral wound gaskets. They are to be used only as a general guide. They should not be considered to contain absolute values due to the large number of uncontrollable variables involved with bolted joints. If there is doubt as to the proper torque value to use, we suggest that the maximum value be used.
All bolt torque values are based upon...

Just by sheer luck (bad) I, unfortunately, came across a perfect example of how IMPROPER torquing can create a VERY SERIOUS HAZARD in a chemical process. I was helping a client with a process that has a runaway reaction potential. Our study took us to the reactor so we could examine the pressure relief system, where we noticed the rupture disc holder flange was off center and the two flange...
