Gaskets & NACE MR0175
Gaskets & NACE MR0175
(OP)
I am designing building an ASME Code Pressure Vessel per MR0175. The vessel is going to have solid metal RTJ type gaskets used for a Manway Closure. These gaskets are either going to be Soft Iron or Gr. 304SS.
The question is: Do these gaskets need to meet MR0175? I realize that they will be exposed to the process fluid, but gaskets usually are not considered to be subject to corrosion. Plus, if these gaskets were Soft Iron or Gr. 304SS Jacketed gaskets, it would be impossible to perform any type of hardness testing on them.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.

I believe that you are correct. I was just looking for some confirmation.
