Compact raised face flange
Abstract
In an example, a raised face flange assembly, comprises an upper flange to couple to a lower flange using one or more bolts: wherein the upper flange or the lower flange comprises: a bolting face defining one or more openings for the one or more bolts, respectively; a pair of raised faces including a first raised face and a second raised face to make contact with a mating surface of the other of the upper flange or the lower flange; wherein a distance between an area of the second raised face and a plane corresponding to the bolting face is greater than a distance between an area of the first raised face and the plane to distribute contact force with a mating surface over the area of the second raised face to maintain a seal.
