Summary:

The Press-in-Place (PIP) gasket is a static face seal withself-retaining feature, which is used for the mating surfaces ofengine components to maintain the reliability of the closed systemunder various operating conditions. Its design allows it to provideenough contact pressure to seal the internal fluid as well asprevent mechanical failures. Insufficient sealing pressure willlead to fluid leakage, consequently resulting in engine failures. Atest fixture was designed to simulate the clamp load and internalpressure condition on a gasket bolted joint. A Sensor pad usingTEKSCAN equipment was used to capture the overall and localpressure distribution of the PIP gasket under various engineloading conditions. Then, the Sensor pad test results were comparedwith simulated CAE results from computer models. Through thecomparisons, it is found that the gasket sealing pressure of testdata and CAE data show good correlation for bolt load condition500N when compared to internal pressure side load condition of0.138 MPa and 0.276 MPa. Moreover, the gasket cross-sectionalpressure distribution obtained by experimental tests and CAE modelscorrelated very well with R2 ranging from 90 to 99% for all loadcases. Both CAE and Sensor pad test results shows increase insealing pressure when internal side pressure is applied to thegasket seal
