Damage to the flange
If mating flange faces are not flat and free of distortion, then bolting the flanged process
connection may produce a bending load on the device's flange. Cracking or other damage
may occur.
Use only 'full-face' flat gaskets surrounding the bolt holes. Ensure mating flange faces are
flat and free of distortion.
