7.3 Dimensional tolerances

The values of the dimensional tolerances of the preproduced elements to be assembled are collated
in Table 3 : Dimensional tolerances.
Before bolt- up the maximum axial clearance between mating flanges shall take into account equal
the initial gasket thickness plus or minus the value stipulated in Table 3. The COMPANY reserves
the right to have disconnected any pump or compressor piping they have reason to suspect may be
"pulled up" on the machine flanges. If flange bolts cannot be reinstalled by hand, CONTRACTOR
shall be responsible for the necessary modification.
