The mating parts also act like a spring, but a much stiffer spring.

2
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:09,042
Ideally, the mating parts are much stiffer than the fastener.

00:00:09,042 --> 00:00:14,042
Joints with soft gaskets are an exception to the "More Preload is Better" rule.

4
00:00:14,042 --> 00:00:18,958
High loads can deform the gasket or mating surface, which causes leaks.

5
00:00:18,958 --> 00:00:22,750
Proper preload is the key to reliable bolted joints.
