How does one evaluate the adequacy of flange near the creep range. Bolts will strecth over time resulting in flange leak.

Why is the stud bolts the preferred bolting material for the flange. What's wrong with a machine bolts?

What is the normal practice to tightened flange bolt near the creep range? Received on Wed Aug 22 11:40:00 2001
