Gasket Thickness for Large Tongue and Groove Flange
Gasket Thickness for Large Tongue and Groove Flange
(OP)
Dear members,
In process piping area, we normally specifies 4.5 mm Th'k for spiral-wound with graphite-filled gaskets and 1.6 or 2 mm for sheet gaskets to be used for FF or RF flanges connections.
However, when we use the large tongue and groove flanges with metal gaskets, what is the normal practice of the gasket thickness?
Always thanks....
