Insulation gasket for flanged joints
Insulation gasket for flanged joints
(OP)
Is there a method to define the use (or other wise) of Insulation gasket sets on flange bolts to combat corrosion, when making a flange joint with flanges manufactured from different metals.

If you're worried about the corrosion of the gasket, then stainless steel is the material of choice since affinity to carbon steels are low. If you are worried of the flange itself undergoing galvanic corrosion, you can paint the component to insulate it from the opposing dissimilar metal.
I've never experienced this to be an issue. What kind of working medium are you using?
