Se-Ho Lee is a stationary equipment engineer with SK Energy at the Ulsan complex in South Korea. He has more than four years of petrochemical industry experience, specializing in pressure vessel and flange leak troubleshooting and maintenance. He is credited with major roles and involvement in the development of standard specifications and maintenance procedures of stationary equipment.

In refineries and petrochemical plants, ring-type joint (RTJ) flanges have been applied to high-pressure processes or sensitive areas that are susceptible to leaks.
The use of spiral-wound gaskets on flanges has resulted in good sealing performance. However, most gaskets do not perform well when the flange is improperly installed.
