Hello!!

This is about very interesting subject of flange leakage check.Now , the caesar utility can carry check for leakage due to mechanical loads but it doesn't consider thermal effects such as opening up or rotation of flange or loosening of gaskets due to temperature or bolts being slightly loosened up during thermal reversals.

Can anyone suggest how to take care of these effects so that a real-world flange leakge can be carried out?

Even ASME Sect VIII -division II doesn't consider such effects??
