The numerical simulation by our flange expert Filip Wegener illustrates that the tightening sequence, in combination with gaps between the contact surfaces, can lead to a significant loss of preload. The animation clearly demonstrate that the two-stage tightening required in IEC 61400-6/AMD1 is necessary to achieve sufficient preload and that after two rounds preloading to 100% of the design preload, the losses due to this effect are negligible.
