🔍 Key Concepts

• Behavior of flange gaskets under pressure and leakage • Effects of leaking fluid on metal-to-metal mating surfaces over time • Difference between temporary seepage and progressive mechanical damage

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: What actually happens to the metal faces of a flange when fluid is constantly escaping past a gasket? Think about erosion, corrosion, and surface finish. • Which choice describes a change that would make it harder to ever get a tight seal again, even after replacing the gasket? • Eliminate any option that assumes the leak will improve on its own without action—does that match real-world practice on pressurized piping systems?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which option involves direct impact on the flange sealing faces rather than the pipe as a whole. • Check which effect would get worse over time and make future repairs more difficult or expensive. • Confirm that proper practice in marine engineering is to never rely on a leak to "seal itself" in critical piping.
