The two sealing surfaces of the bolt press the flange gasket against each other to form a seal, but this also leads to the damage of the seal. In order to keep the seal, it is necessary to maintain a huge bolt force, for which, the bolt should be made larger. The larger bolt must match the larger nut, which means that the larger diameter bolt is needed to create conditions for tightening the nut. However, the larger the bolt diameter, the applicable flange will become bent, the only way is to increase the wall thickness of the flange part.

Moreover, the slip on flange is a kind of ineffective seal, which needs to use 50% of bolt load for extruding gasket, and only 50% of load for maintaining pressure. Slip on flange is often used in the case of low medium temperature and pressure and strong medium corrosion.
