Hi all,

Did anyone come across with high pressure STHE using RTJ gasket with partition? Any advise on the partition gasket to be used together with its material or a spiral wound gasket is better? Anyway, my design goes up to 1500lbs.

For what it's worth, I think nowadays SPWND's are (almost) always considered 'better' than RTJ's, or at least up to the same level in terms of leak rate.
 
Ya. Have done a few research on it and found that spiral wound can actually hold up to a vr high pressure rating and temperature. Thanks for ur advise.
