Leak proof installation Assembly Number of tools (difference) Use the appropriate tightening torque Lining op the assembly Use lubricant One tool 1. One round cross tightening with 30 % of given torque. 2. One round cross tightening with 60 % of given torque. 3. Two rounds cross tightening with 100 % of given torque. 4. Check all bolts with given torque. Two tools 1. One round cross tightening with 50 % of given torque. 2. Two rounds cross tightening with 100 % of given torque. 3. Check all bolts with given torque. Four tools 1. Tighten all bolts two times with the given torque. 2. Always perform the tightening in cross. 3. Check all bolts with given torque. 13
Leak proof installation After assembly - At least 1 free thread - Uniform distance between flange faces. 14
Leak proof installation Before assembly - Check gasket (Gasket deforms at assembly) - Stud bolt + nut of appropriate quality and length - Preferably with washer to secure uniformity in tightening Without washer With washer 15
