RMC-18-109 - Tightness-Based Design of Bolted Flanged Joints

Description:

The most effective means of managing fluid leaks is to prevent them. Therefore, a tightness-based design of fluid transport connections that serves to both prevent leaks and to reduce fugitive emissions is required. This proactive, front-end approach should always be preferred from the viewpoint of the plant owner, as it reduces costs for maintenance and curtails unexpected shut-downs.
