1. Material and tool inspection
Flange: Confirm that the material (such as carbon steel, stainless steel), pressure rating, nominal diameter match the pipeline, and that the surface is free of defects such as cracks, sand holes, burrs, etc.
Gasket: Select the appropriate material (such as metal wrap pad, rubber pad, PTFE pad) according to the medium, temperature, and pressure, and check the thickness uniformity and integrity.
