Why You Should Use Proper Lubrication on Fasteners in Gasketed Joints
Adequate lubrication of fasteners in gasketed joints is important in ensuring homogeneous sealing performance and mechanical stability. With the pressure, temperature, and vibration variations in the industrial systems, the contact between bolts, nuts and gasket surfaces should be kept in check. Lack of sufficient lubrication may cause distortion of torque readings and cause uneven load…
