*NOTE 1: This torque table applies for 1/16" and 1/8" thick homogeneous elastomeric gaskets. The pressure rating of the material may vary depending on the grade.
*NOTE 2: The above mentioned torque values are based on a maximum bolt stress of 60,000 psi. Bolt yield should be at least 80,000 psi.
NOTE 3: This table does not take flange strength into consideration. We recommend consulting the flange manufacturer to confirm the suitability of the above-mentioned values.
NOTE 4: Apply torque in increments. When the gasket extends past the OD of the flange by 1/4" to 3/8", stop tightening.
