The connector experiences an inside pressure of 3 bar or 0.3 MPa and has a surface area of 17360 mm² subjected to the applied pressure. The force exerted on the connector is 5208 N, with each of the ten screws experiencing a force of 520 N. A rectangular nitrile gasket with a thickness of 3.9mm when free and compressed to 3mm, resulting in a compression of 0.9mm or 23%, is used. The nitrile has an elasticity modulus of 1.5 MPa. Calculations show that the stress on the gasket is 0.34 MPa or 3.4 bar. A rectangular profile made from molded polyurethane is used for the connector's section, with expected deformations not exceeding 0.2mm. The clamping device is made of stainless steel and consists of a U-profile, eyebolt, plain washer, wing nut, and pin. The tightening sequence of the wing nuts is specified as 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10.
