Gasket thickness
Gasket thickness
(OP)
In high pressure water system , the gasket is specified with 2mm thick, compressed inorganic fiber with nitrile binder, rated to 700 deg F and 1000 psi.This gasket will be used for raised face flanges.If it's proposed to use 3mm thick gasket instead of 2mm, Is it Ok? can this small change of gasket thickness cause a leakage from both flanges ?





RE: Gasket thickness
I see some problems with this application, mainly the use of a gasket with a nitrile rubber binder at your operating conditions 1000 psig @ 700°F.
What is the class and size of your flanges?
