Calculation Results

Calculation Formula

Torque = (π × D × P) / 12

Where:
π = Pi (approximately 3.14159)
D = Cylinder Diameter (inches)
P = Gasket Pressure (PSI)

Calculated Torque (ft-lbs)

Bolt Torque per Bolt (in-lbs)

Gasket Torque Calculator Usage Guide

Learn how to use the Gasket Torque Calculator and its working principles

How to Use the Calculator

  1. Enter the cylinder diameter in inches.
  2. Enter the gasket pressure in PSI.
  3. Enter the bolt diameter in inches.
  4. Enter the bolt strength in psi.
  5. Click the "Calculate" button to compute the required torque values.

Understanding the Results

The calculator provides two key results:

  • Calculated Torque (ft-lbs): The total torque required to properly tighten the gasket.
  • Bolt Torque per Bolt (in-lbs): The torque distributed across each bolt.

Important Notes

Proper gasket torque is crucial to ensure a leak-free seal and prevent gasket failure. Always follow the manufacturer's specifications for your specific application.
