316L gasket failure
316L gasket failure
(OP)
I have an issue with a leak at the mid water flange of a 12” production line the corrosion of the gasket is considered a possible failure mechanism, since, the gasket material is 316L and the ring groove, flange face and bore are Inconel 625 clad. I am looking to ascertain the suitability of the gasket materials for the service conditions.
