gasket materials

[kissjxp]

Exchanger tubesheet is duplex 2205. Channel is carbon steel. The tube fluid is cooling water (1500ppm Chloride, <50DegC). What is the gasket materials for channel flange, Carbon steel, 316L SS, or Duplex Stainless Steel?

Thanks.

silicone caulk?

Luck is a difficult thing to verify and therefore should be tested often. - Me

On most of our Hx using our CTW or river water, at times brackish, we used a paper gasket of the Vellumoid type. I'll try to see if I can get the currently used material,
