- the counter flange is preferably first pressed by hand onto the flange with the flat gasket. Then, the upper half of the two-legged clamping bracket according to the invention is released. Then preferably two of the particular four lugs remain at the bottom of the gasket and hold them in position so that they can not fall out of the groove of the flange. After the upper half of the tension bow has been released, the upper half of the tensioning chain known from the prior art is thrown over the conical outer surfaces of the flanges. Due to the severity of the tensioning chain and the dimensions, the tensioning chain already fixes the two flanges together.
- the second, lower part of the tensioning bow according to the invention is released from the flange and thrown in place of the lower part of the known from the prior art tensioning chain on the conical surfaces of the flanges. Then the links of the tensioning chain are fastened together with the usual hexagon nuts and the contact pressure for the deformation of the flat gasket is generated.
- the inventive method and the device according to the invention ensures that at no time touches one of the two cutting edges of the two flanges the nose of the holding jaw of the mounting device.
- This advantageously has the effect that the seal is not located in the cutting edge region or even inside the cutting edge region. half of the cutting edge region (vacuum region) is touched. This has the advantageous effect that no contamination or damage to the seal can occur.
- the cutting edge itself is protected from damage.
- the nose of the jaw is separated in the direction of the gasket by the latter from the cutting edge of the first flange. In the direction of the second flange, the nose can not get into the recessed groove by the parallel arrangement of the jaw to the inner surface of the flange.
- the flat gasket is thus held by the inventive mounting device on a flange side in position.
- the method provides for a preliminary assembly of the other flange side, the removal of the mounting device and only after the generation of the contact pressure whereby the two flanges are finally tightened.
- the shape and dimensions of the retaining lugs or retaining surfaces are the essential features of the mounting device and there is no risk that the seal can slip. It is understood that the diameter of the clamping clip according to the invention is adapted to the diameter of the QCF flanges according to the ISO standard.
