🔍 Key Concepts

• Thermal and mechanical stress distribution when tightening fittings on glass and other brittle components • Why tightening evenly and symmetrically helps prevent distortion or breakage • How procedures for tightening flanges, covers, and gauge glasses are often similar

💭 Think About

• Think about what happens to a fragile glass tube if pressure is applied more on one side or one end than the other. • Which tightening pattern would help keep the glass seated evenly in the packing and reduce the chance of twisting or bending the glass? • Compare this situation to tightening a manhole cover or large flange—what sequence is usually recommended to avoid warping?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option promotes the most even distribution of pressure along the length of the gauge glass. • Eliminate any option that would concentrate stress at one end or pull the glass unevenly into the packing. • Consider which pattern is commonly used on flanged joints and covers to avoid distortion or leaks.
