Expansion Joint - Gasket needed
Expansion Joint - Gasket needed
(OP)
Hi!
I am trying to find a gasket to use with a steam expansion joint. The expansion joint is designed for 165psi and 750F. In the installation instructions it states that graphite impregnated gaskets should not come in contact with stainless steel. The expansion joint is made of B168 and is used with a steam turbine.
I haven't had any luck finding a suitable gas for the temperature that does not contain graphite. Can anyone help me out? Or am I totally off base here?
Thanks!

If you don't have the flange look at Thermiculite.
