Gasket selection for Flanged connection

Gasket selection for Flanged connection

Gasket selection for Flanged connection

(OP)
Hi,

I am dealing with the design of a flanged connection which will be subjected to high external pressure & temp. Flanges are used to connect two 6" long pipes (sealed on both ends) & this pipe will be subjected to external pressure only along with a temperature of 300F.

Since I am new to the area of gasket design or selection, can anyone suggest references? What kind of gasket material would be best suited for this application?

Thanks,
Mike

RE: Gasket selection for Flanged connection

vtmike, recommend contacting an applications engineer at Garlock, Flexitallic or any of the majors. That's what they are there for.

Regards,

Mike
