To ensure that the flange seal remains intact and leak-free for a prolonged time, design with LOCTITE anaerobic gasket sealants keeping in mind the following set of design considerations.
  • Surface Roughness (Ra) 0.8 to 3.2 μm
  • Max peak to valley height (Rmax) 4 to 30 μm
  • Flatness 0.1 mm @ 400 mm

Minimum overlapping flange width:

  • Overall – 5 mm
  • Around bolts – 2mm
  • The maximum gap at surface imperfections must be within 0.1 to 0.25 mm. Blowout resistance decreases with increasing gaps.
  • Surface Roughness (Ra) 0.8 to 3.2 μm
  • Max peak to valley height (Rmax) 4 to 30 μm
  • Flatness 0.1 mm @ 400 mm
  • Surface Roughness (Ra) 0.8 to 3.2 μm
