# Gasket seating and joint compression
# Scope: Average gasket seating pressure from net clamp load.
# Status: illustrative worked example; engineering review pending.
# Inputs are example values. Checks are editable example requirements, not standards.

preload = 10000 N
openingForce = 2000 N
area = 1000 mm^2

pressure := (preload-openingForce)/area [MPa]

check seating target: pressure >= 5 MPa

scenario alternative: preload = 8000 N
