A gland seal designed according to the joint's factors m and y and the seal-designing rule refined from ASME Code to result in its minimum necessary seating stress y at no fluid pressure being so small to be ignorable that its sealing maintenance factor or disturbance resistance index m, equal to the joint's sealing actuation force divided by the joint's unseating actuation force, can be used to indicate its sealing safety at a fluid pressure: when m=1, its sealing actuation force equals its unseating actuation force or equals its“seating area×fluid pressure”and so it can be kept leak-free under no upset disturbance condition and may leak at an upset moment, and when m>1, it can be resistant to an upset disturbance and be the greater, the more resistant. The factor m for a self-energizing tight joint is equal to its fluid's sealing actuation area divided by its fluid's unseating actuation area.
