The invention relates to a prediction method of a
leakage rate of a bolted
flange connection structure, and belongs to the technical field of sealing. A
gasket is an important sealing element in bolted
flange connection, and the tightness width of the
gasket is a key factor which determines the sealing performance of the connection structure. In order to solving the defects that the
leakage rate of the connection structure can not be predicted in the traditional bolted
flange standard design method, and under the conditions that the connection structure bears an external load, and high
temperature and pressure and
temperature and pressure have greater fluctuation, and the like, the predication is inaccurate in the traditional predication method of the
leakage rate, so the prediction method of the leakage rate of the bolted flange connection structure is provided according to the relationship among the calculated tightness width of the
gasket and the material of the gasket, the
connection form of the connection structure, the load, working conditions and the like, and a numerical example and experimental
verification are provided. The predication method has the characteristics of simple calculation method and high accuracy, and the leakage rate of the bolted flange connection structure can be accurately predicated under different working conditions according to the calculation method, and thus the security, stability and long-period operation of
process equipment are ensured.
