Min. required bolt load for gasket seating :

Wm2 = p.G.b.y

= 968816 lb

Actual joint area contact for gasket :

Ag = 2.p.G.b

= 108

Decreasing compression force in gasket ( joint relaxation ) :

DF = H1 + ( Ab.Eb.tg / Ag.Eg.lb )

= 587556 lb.

Initial required tightening force ( tension ) :

Fbo = Hp + DF

= 2304901 lb

Total tightening force required to seal joint :

W = greater of Fbo or Wm2

= 2304901 lb
