The gasket shown in Fig. 1 is of soft copper 3/16-in. thick, held in place by 24 bolts. For the gasket and geometry selected, the effective gasket width is b = 0.2795 inch, the gasket factor m = 4.75, and the yield value of the gasket material is y = 13,000 psi. If the bolts are tightened only sufficiently to seat the gasket, find the permissible value of the internal pressure. Find the torque required to tighten the bolts.
