Investigation of the Permeability Function of the Contact of the Wedged Edge of a Metal Seal with a Flange under External Loads
摘要
Abstract
The article considers a theoretical flanged joint with a metal seal that has one or more wedged edges; the design of the flanged joint itself and the parts included in it are irrelevant. Theoretical research is conducted with the aim to design a method for calculating the angle of the wedged seal edge that ensures the minimum possible leakage of the sealed medium, all other conditions being equal.
