Large glass lined vessel flanges pose unique sealing challenges that in many cases require non-conventional gasket designs and flange assembly procedures in order to provide high gasket tightness, and overall long term flanged connection reliability. Recent experiences with a large glass lined process vessel with a history of poor sealing performance are detailed in this paper.
