CHANGE
GASKET
Engineered like
nothing else.
To perform like
nothing else.
What a Change.

chang

When we invented the spiral wound


gasket in 1912 there was nothing like it.
100 years of innovation later, we introduce
the Change gasket an incredibly
resilient metal-wound heat exchanger
gasket thats designed to deliver the most
dynamic seal ever.

Benefits
Excellent compression
and recovery
High performance in thermal cycle
applications

Change is manufactured with proprietary


equipment, using a 5-times thicker metal
spiral and a unique laser welding process
that penetrates completely through the
winding so it requires no inner or outer
ring. Best of all, its proven to perform
without fail at least 60% longer than any
other heat exchanger gasket. CGI spiral
wound. Double jacketed. CMG.
Or Kammprofile. And thats a game
changer.

THERMICULITE
Thermiculite is
innovative, versatile and
complete gasket material,
making it the industrys
leading sealing solution.

Innovative.
Cutting-edge material technology
Ever since inventing the spiral wound
gasket in 1912, Flexitallic has been at the
forefront of fluid sealing innovation.
In 1998, Flexitallic set new standards
for sealing technology with the introduction
of Thermiculite Critical Service Series
gasket material available in Tanged Sheet
and later in Spiral Wound Filler and
Flexpro (kammprofile) Facing styles.
Exclusive to Flexitallic, this revolutionary
material, which comprises of chemically and
thermally exfoliated Vermiculite*, simulated
the structure of exfoliated graphite, with
one notable exception it maintains
integrity through a wide range of extreme
temperatures.

All Thermiculite Critical Service Series


products are designed and engineered for
high temperature processes in services up
to 1832oF / 1000oC.
*Vermiculite, a naturally occurring mineral
with a plate-like structure, demonstrating
an exceptional broad range of chemical and
temperature resistance.
Complete.
The total static sealing solution
Since its inception, Thermiculite gasket
material has proven itself as an effective
long-term sealing solution in over 500
of the most demanding industrial sealing
applications the most complete range
since asbestos.

THE INDUSTRYS
LEADING SEALING
SOLUTION
There is no comparison.
When it comes to worryfree sealing, choose
Thermiculite

The unique composition of Thermiculite


gasket material ensures that seals
maintain their integrity at maximum
service temperatures far exceeding that
of graphite.

Total freedom from oxidation


Conventional graphite gaskets are
susceptible to attack by oxidising agents.
This occurs from oxygen flowing through
pipes, or simply from oxygen present in the
atmosphere surrounding the flange. The
rate at which graphite oxidises depends
on the application temperature and the
concentration of oxygen present. But when it
does happen the end result is seal failure.

There really is no comparison. When


it comes to worry-free sealing, choose
Thermiculite and eliminate the risk
of oxidation altogether.

SPIRAL WOUND
GASKETS
Driven by the industrys
need for safe, effective
sealing solutions for
increasingly demanding
applications, Flexitallic
invented the spiral wound
gasket in 1912.

First and Foremost


The concept of spiral wound gasket
construction was originated by Flexitallic
in 1912, starting a new era in safe,
effective sealing. The primary purpose
for this development was the increasingly
severe temperatures and pressures used
by U.S. refinery operators in the first half
of the century.
The necessity for a gasket to have the
ability to recover cannot be over
emphasised. The effects of pressure
and temperature fluctuations, the
temperature differential across the flange
face, together with bolt stress relaxation
and creep, demand a gasket with
adequate flexibility and recovery to
maintain a seal even under these
varying service conditions. The Flexitallic
Spiral Wound Gasket is the precision
engineered solution to such problems,
meeting the most exacting conditions
of both temperature and pressure in
flanged joints and similar assemblies
and against virtually every known
corrosive and toxic media.

Pages 10-28 of this brochure are


designed to facilitate the specification
and ordering of standard Flexitallic Spiral
Wound Gaskets. Dimensional data for the
basic styles - Style CG, Style CGI, Style R
and Style RIR are detailed on respective
tables.

GASKET
SELECTION

Style CG - Utilises an external


ring which accurately centers
gasket on flange face, provides
additional radial strength to
prevent gasket blow-out and acts
as a compression stop. A general
purpose gasket suitable for use
with flat face and raised face
flanges up to and inclusive of
class 2500.

Style CGI - A Style CG gasket


fitted with internal ring which
gives an additional compression
limiting stop and provides heat
and corrosion barrier protecting
gasket windings and preventing
flange erosion. Suitable for use
with flat face and raised face
flanges.

Style R - Basic construction


type. Inner and outer diameters
are reinforced with several plies
of metal without filler to give
greater stability and better
compression and sealing
characteristics. Suitable for
tongue and groove or male and
female or grooved to flat face
flange assemblies.

Style RIR - Solid inner metal ring


acts as a compression stop and
fills the annular space between
flange bore and the inside
diameter of the gasket. Designed
to prevent accumulation of solids,
reduce turbulent flow of process
fluids and minimise erosion at
flange faces. Suitable for male
and female pipe flanges.

Published as an indication of which Flexitallic spiral wound gasket best


suits different pipe flange configurations and service conditions.

NOTES: *It is essential that Style R gaskets are fitted with a compression stop. Without a correctly dimensioned stop the gasket can easily be over-compressed resulting in failure.
To provide a compression stop the depth of the tongue, groove or recess should be controlled to provide optimum compressed gasket thickness with metal to metal contact on the
flange faces.

in installations for which there are no industry-wide
standards. Special gaskets have been designed for
valves, pumps, compressors, turbines, boilers, heat
exchangers, etc. Consult with Flexitallic engineers
as early in the design stage as possible.

Flexitallic style CG and CGI Spiral


Wound Gaskets can be
manufactured in accordance with
all relevant gasket standards to suit
the following flange designations.
Please note that gaskets for nonstandard flanges are also readily
available.

Low Emission style Gaskets are

GENERAL NOTES
All dimensions are in mm.
Figures stated are for information only. Please refer to the current version of the original standards for dimensional information.
* Outside diameter, facing diameter and drilling of Class 75 Blind flanges depend on whether they are to be used against weld-neck or slip-on flanges.
**Where Style CGI gaskets are required, inner ring I.D. must be specified. Standard Practice is to use inner rings with an I.D. that is 3.2mm greater than the bore.

SPIRAL WOUND GASKETS


Style RIR. For use with Large Male & Female
ASME B16.5 & BS 1560 Flanges

Standard RIR gaskets are manufactured to


0.125" (3.2mm) thickness. The gasket features
a solid metal inner ring nominally 0.090"
(2.3mm) thick, as an integrated part of its
design. The inner ring provides a positive
stop preventing the gasket from over
compression and possible damage.
Special styles are available in other thickness.

LS Gasket

The LS gasket offers the same high integrity seal


associated with the spiral wound gasket however,
the LS and LSI has been designed in such a way
that compression and sealing requirements are
achieved under very low seating stresses. These
gaskets are intended for use on class 150 and 300
applications, where customers traditionally do not
use Spiral Wound Gaskets due to concerns about
exceeding allowable design stresses.
The traditional spiral wound gasket has its steel
windings protruding above the compression stop;
this requires a significant loading stress to compress
the gasket to its optimum operating thickness.

the Flexicarb or PTFE filler is readily compressed
thus producing the sealing mechanism at an earlier

Severe cyclic conditions?


For the most demanding cyclic conditions, the
choice is Flexitallics Thermiculite 835 Spiral
Wound Gasket with Heat Treated Inconel
X-750 winding.
Differential thermal expansion and contraction
of components in a bolted joint, due to the effects
of cyclic conditions, requires that extra resiliency
be built into the joint or the gasket to compensate
for fluctuating load conditions.
Normal gasket materials do not provide sufficient
resiliency, and therefore cannot compensate for
the adverse effects of cyclic conditions. Special
Heat Treated Inconel X-750 gasket materials have
been developed by Flexitallic to ensure that joint
integrity is maintained during thermal cycles.

Specify Flexitallics proprietary precipitation


hardened Inconel X-750 windings in

FLEXPRO
KAMMPROFILES
Flexpro - The versatile
gasket with three key
features: compressibility,
low stress, convenience.

The FLEXPRO gasket has been providing


an extremely tight, reliable seal in a wide
range of applications throughout Europe
since its development in Germany over
85 years ago.
The FLEXPRO gasket is comprised of a
concentrically serrated solid metal core
with a soft, conformable sealing material
bonded to each face. The soft facing
material provides low stress gasket seating,
while the serrated geometry of the metal
core enhances sealing performance by
inducing stress concentrations on the
sealing surfaces. The serrations minimise
lateral movement of the facing material,
while the metal core provides rigidity and
blowout resistance.
The FLEXPRO gasket exhibits excellent
compressibility and recovery characteristics,
maintaining joint tightness under pressure
and temperature fluctuations, temperature
differential across the flange face, flange
rotation, bolt stress relaxation, and creep.
Suitable from vacuum to extremely high
pressure applications.

KAMMPROFILES
Performance in ROTT tests
The results of two ROTT tests conducted at
TTRL1 on Flexitallic FLEXPRO gaskets are
shown in Figure 1.

Independent PVRC
testing confirms
superior tightness,
room temperature
tightness (ROTT),
behaviour
characterisation.

ROTT test procedure


The ROTT test includes a gasket load sequence
(5 stress levels, S1 to S5), called Part A, which
represents the initial joint tightening and gasket
seating. The maximum stress level (S5) is 15160 psi
for metallic gaskets. Part A is interrupted at its three
highest stress levels to run unload-reload sequences,
called Parts B1, B2, B3 which simulate joint relaxation
and re-tightening. At each stress level, Helium leakage
is measured (for two pressures in Part A and one
pressure in Part B).

At the highest Part A stress level (S5 - 15160


psi), Tp values above 55000 were obtained.
A tp of 55000 corresponds to a Helium leak
rate of approximately 1 x 10-6 mg/s for an
800 psig pressure.
Part B test data indicates that this gasket
maintains superior tightness during stress
cycling.

ROTT test data are plotted in the form of Gasket


Stress, Sg, vs. Tightness Parameter, Tp, on a log-log
scale. The tightness parameter, Tp, is a measure of
the ability of an installed gasket to control its leakage
performance in a pressurised flange joint. Tp is
proportional to the pressure causing a small leak
and inversely proportional to the square of the leak.
The higher Tp, the tighter the joint. A joint that is
10 times tighter than another leaks 100 times less
(at the same pressure).

Gaskets constants
The calculated gasket constants are reported
in the table below, along with computed
values of S100, S1000 and the maximum
Tp value obtained in the ROTT tests.
The ROTT behavior characterization of
a gasket consists of:
Performing a minimum of two ROTT tests
on NPS 4 samples

Gasket constants Gb, a, and Gs


The PVRC tightness based gasket constants are
determined from the results of two or more ROTT
tests. Together constants Gb and a together define
an initial seating performance line. The combined
effect of Gb, and a is best represented by the value
of STP = Gb x Tpa calculated for typical values of Tp
such as 100 or 1000. For example S100 = Gb (100)a.
Constant Gs independently represents operation. Low
values of Gb, a, Gs, S100 and S1000 are favorable.

Cycling Comparison
During operation, unloading of a
bolted-gasketed joint can occur due to
pressurisation, fluctuation in pressure and
temperature, thermal effects, joint relaxation,
etc. PVRC test data confirms the superior
ability of the FLEXPRO gasket to maintain
tightness under these cyclic loading
conditions. As shown in the graph, when
gasket stress is reduced from 8000 psi to
4400 psi, the FLEXPRO gasket leaks 100
times less than a comparable corrugated
metal graphite gasket. A tighter joint is
a safer joint!

T3 Tightness
The PVRC developed method for characterising
gasket performance specifies three classes of
tightness. T1 (economy), T2 (standard), and T3
(tight). A tightness class of T3 represents a mass
leak rate per unit diameter, of 0.00002 mg/sec-mm.
This graph shows that the Flexitallic FLEXPRO
gasket achieves a tightness class of T3 at the
lowest seating stress when compared to other
types of gaskets. Results are based on PVRC test
data, using a gasket with dimensions of 20 x 211/2 diameter, with (20) 1 diameter bolts, and
an assembly efficiency of 0.075. The Flexitallic
FLEXPRO gasket is ideal for use in applications
with limited bolt load and lighter weight flanges.

CORRUGATED
METAL GASKETS
Corrugated Metal
Gaskets consist of a
corrugated metal core,
normally stainless steel,
with a soft facing layer
applied to each face.

The corrugations provide resilience and


reduce the sealing surface area of the gasket
while the soft layer ensures outstanding
sealing, even at low loads. Particularly
suited as a replacement to metal jacketed
gaskets.

Practical Benefits
No sharp edges for safe handling

Heat Exchanger Applications


Heat exchanger flanges, owing to the
difference in thickness of the mating flanges,
heat and expand at different rates.

Seating Stress Range


Corrugated gaskets offer reliable sealing
performance when seated within the
following seating stress ranges.

This differential expansion can cause radial


shearing of the gasket and therefore it is
critical that a gasket is selected which
resists radial shear and maintains a seal
even under thermal cycling conditions.
Corrugated metal gaskets have a proven
record in problematic exchanger
applications, offering low relaxation, high
resistance to radial shear and high levels
of tightness. For this reason these gaskets
are replacing more traditional gasket styles
such as metal jacketed particularly on these
applications.
Properties
Excellent resistance to radical shear
Creates a tight seal at low bolt loads
Can be used when there is insufficient
bolt load to seal spiral wound gaskets
Outstanding resistance to thermal cycling
Safe to handle and fit
Excellent thermal and chemical stability
Tolerant to flange imperfections

Layer Material Selection


The table (below) may be used to determine
the appropriate sealing layer material.
We recommend the use of graphite layers
for most applications. Only in cases where
graphite may cause media contamination,
or is not chemically resistant, should an
alternative layer material be chosen.
Graphite
Graphite is a universal, high quality, non
asbestos sealing material featuring very
good chemical resistance, resistance to
high fluctuating temperatures and
pressures, non ageing properties plus
excellent gas tightness.
Graphite APX 2
Inhibited grade for oxidation resistance.
Ideal for use at temperatures above the
limit recommended for standard graphite
grades.

Materials
The gasket material should be selected
to suit the service conditions. It is always
recommended that the gasket material be
softer than the mating flanges. The more
popular Ring Type Joint materials, with the
recommended maximum hardness and
identification as specified in API 6A, are
shown in the table below.
For more highly specialised applications, Ring
Type Joints can be machined from DUPLEX
steels and other exotic materials such as
Monel, Inconel, Incoloy, and Hastelloy.
The Technical Department is available to
advise on other materials.
Protective coating
In accordance with API Specifications, soft
iron and low carbon steel Ring Type Joints
are protected with electroplated zinc to a
maximum thickness of 8m. Alternative
material coatings can be supplied on request.

Style R.
The Ring Type Joint was initially developed
for high pressure/temperature applications
found in the petroleum industry and is
primarily used in the oil field on drilling and
completion equipment. However, today this
product range can also be found on valves
and pipework assemblies, along with some
high integrity pressure vessel joints.
Standard Style R Ring Type Joints
are manufactured in accordance with both
API 6A and 17D. Available in both oval and
octagonal configurations, both types are
interchangeable on the modern octagonal
type grooved flanges.
As with all solid metal Ring Type Joints
including Style R, it is recommended to
replace the ring when flange connection is
broken.

Rubber Ring Joint

Rubber Coated Ring Type Joints


This is an oval Ring Type Joint totally
enclosed in a nitrile rubber coating.
The Ring Type Joint material is usually
soft iron or low carbon steel.
This type of gasket has three main
functions:
It is used in pressure testing to
minimise damage to flanges.
The rubber contact points provide
additional seals while protecting
the flange surfaces.
It provides increased assurance
against corrosion, which can occur
between conventional Ring Type
Joints and the engaged surfaces
of the groove.

Transition Ring

Section through Oval Ring with Insert

Transition Ring Type Joints


These are combination rings which consist
of two different sizes having the same pitch
circle diameter. They are used for sealing Ring
Type Joint flanges where the mating flanges
have different ring groove diameters.

Style RX with PTFE Inserts


Style RX Ring Type Joints can also be
supplied with PTFE inserts, in order to
reduce turbulent flow and eliminate
gasket/flange erosion. The insert is
specially designed with radially drilled
pressure passage holes so that the self
energizing performance of the RX Ring
Joint is not impaired.

Transition Ring Type Joints can be manufactured


from standard materials, as well as exotic
alloys. Transition Ring Type Joints are available
with either oval or octagonal facings and are
not encompassed by the API specification.
Subsea Gaskets
Flexitallic is able to provide safe, dimensionally
and functionally interchangeable subsea
wellhead, mudline and tree equipment
within the scope of API.

As can be seen right, the insert is located


between the inside diameter of the Ring
Type Joint and the bore of the flange. On
assembly, the insert is completely trapped
between the make up of the flanges, filling
the annular space between the flange bore
and gasket.

The performance requirement of pressure


integrity, thermal integrity, material
choice along with no observable leakage
allowable are met with these sealing desires.
To distinguish from topside Ring Type Joints
the suffix s is used to indicate the additional
pressure passage hold in the ring cross section.
This is to indicate the additional requirement to
prevent pressure lock when connections are
made up underwater.

Weld Rings.
Weld Rings
Another gasket concept, with origins from
the German industrial market, is welded
gaskets. As standard, two variants exist,
Welded Membrane gaskets in accordance
with DIN 2695 and Weld Ring gaskets.
Welded Membrane Gaskets
The Welded Membrane gasket consists
of two similar rings each of 0.157 inch
thickness. For chemical compatibility
and in order to ensure controlled thermal
conductivity and weld compatibility, the
gasket material must always be the
same as the flange material. Each ring
is individually welded to its mating flange
and upon flange assembly, a second
welding operation ensures the joining
of the rings on their outer diameter, thus
providing a fully welded joint.

Welded Ring Gaskets


As with Membrane Welded Gaskets,
Weld Ring Gaskets are utilised in pairs.
As standard, each ring is 0.591 inches
thick and manufactured to similar
materials to that of the flange, thus
ensuring full compatibility. All welding
is conducted on the outside of the
outside of the gasket and flange, thus
ensuring ease of location, especially in
restricted applications where space is
of a minimum. Two styles exist, Style
SR and Style SRL.

Lens Rings.
By applying higher loads on the gasket
the contact area between the Lens Ring
and the flange increases. This prevents
the gasket from being overstressed.

Flexitallic Lens Rings, manufactured in


accordance with DIN 2696, provide
the engineer with a high integrity, high
pressure/temperature seal for special
applications.
Lens Rings have a spherical surface and
are suitable for use with conical flange
faces (other styles are available on
request).
As standard, the gasket material should
be softer than the flange material, thus
ensuring that the applied compressive load
leads to the elastic/plastic deformation of
the Lens Ring and not the flange sealing
face.

As with all metallic joints,the re-use of


Lens Rings is not recommended. During
assembly and use, work hardening of
the material occurs. With subsequent
re-use, increased bolt loads are required
to achieve similar sealing performance.
This can lead to damage to the flange
faces.

I-FLEX HIGH TEMPERATURE


FLANGE INSULATING SET
The Flexitallic I-Flex
High Temperature
Flange Insulating Set is
comprised of an insulating
gasket, insulating sleeves,
insulating washers and
metal backing washers.

The insulating gasket is constructed from


a serrated metal core utilising Flexitallics unique
Shallow P profile. The metal core is faced with
Thermiculite 725; a high performance, fire safe
sealing material incorporating Flexitallics
proprietary vermiculite based sealing technology.
Correct gasket location is ensured by the
inclusion of a Thermiculite725 spacer ring
positioned around the periphery of the serrated
metal core.
Colour: Brown
Service
Flexitallic I-Flex high temperature flange
insulation sets are specifically designed
to effect a seal and maintain electrical isolation
across a wide range of seating stresses and
flange classes in elevated temperature service.
They can be utilised in load compromised
connections; such as damaged and/or lined
flanges and also heavily bolted connections
where significant gasket stresses may be
generated. In addition the relatively high
compression characteristics of the facing
materials ensure both seal and isolation
performance can be realised over a wide range
of flange surface finishes. The use of
Thermiculite 725 as the sealing material
pushes the performance of the high temperature
insulation set beyond the capability of traditional
insulation sets based on phenolic resin or
glass/epoxy sealing technology.

Operational pressure range:


Full vacuum to ASME B16.5 2500 lb
Operational temperature range:
-200 to 380oC
Fire safe compliance:
API 6FB (Third edition)
Thermiculite 725 facing material is
suitable for sealing across a wide range
of chemicals (pH 0-14) and sweet and
sour gaseous and liquid hydrocarbons.
Gasket and washer metallurgy is selected
to suit the particular application. Unless
specified all materials are NACE
(MRO175) compliant.
The insulating gasket and washers have
been designed and developed for use in
standard pipeline flanges where both
cathodic protection and high integrity
sealing is required at elevated service
temperatures. For non-standard bolted
connections please consult the Flexitallic
Applications Engineering Department.

HDS1

HDS1 sets are designed


to electrically isolate
flanges and bolts in lower
pressure and lower
temperature systems.

HDS-1 is a high performance


compressed fibre sheet material with
excellent dielectric properties. It is
based on a blend of aramid/inorganic
fibres and special additives with a high
quality nitrile rubber binder system.
Insulation Kits also eliminate static
charge transfer in discharge and loading
operations at quayside and oil storage
terminals.
Insulation Kits are available for every type
of flange and in a range of materials to
suit the application, including our unique
electrically insulating material HDS-1.

FLANGE RESCUE GASKET FIRE SAFE


corrosion management

Flange Rescue Gasket


The FRG prevents corrosion in both new
AND ageing assets with our superior
sealing technology Sigma, which
conforms to the flange face, even if
already damaged.
Restructured Sigma PTFE is bonded to
the high integrity metal core providing a
leak-free seal and blow out resistance.
The bright, easily identifiable FRG has a
corrosion resistant, fluoropolymer coated
body with integral bolt holes for easy
installation and correct location.
Superior mechanical integrity allows the
use of the full range of torque, reducing
the risk of operator error or failed repair.
Flanges can easily be inspected and
sealed effectively, enabling fast,
accurate assessment on internal
corrosion.

Flange Rescue Gasket - Fire Safe


The Fire Safe, corrosion inhibiting
gasket.
A fire-safe solution for use by engineers
dealing with corrosion damaged flange
faces, in challenging environments, such
as hydrocarbon containing systems.
Using Thermiculite, our high
temperature insulating, fire resistant
material, the FRG-FS is certified to API
6FB, providing assurance of its integral
fire-safe nature together with the ability
to seal damaged flanges.
Has been subjected to, and passed,
the stringent and essential API 6FB
fire test which involves testing the

RTJs are used extensively in the oil and
gas industry due to the gaskets longevity
and high pressure resilience, however
ring joint flanges are the most common
area for leaks, typically due to corrosion.
The FRG-RJ is suitable for both topside
and sub-sea applications where improved
corrosion resistance or prevention is
required. As with all our FRGs, it can
also be used on flanges that have
been damaged due to corrosion in
maintenance activities.

Flange Rescue Gasket - HF


Engineers responsible for critical service
applications now have access to the
unique benefits delivered by the Flange
Rescue Gasket range with the FRG-HF.
Developed for applications where highly
aggressive chemicals are used, such as
Hydrofluoric Acid in alkylation processes,
the FRG-HF provides the ultimate sealing
potential in reducing corrosion activity
with the ability to seal already corroded
flanges in maintenance operations.
The FRG-HF combines the low stress
sealing of the fully structured modified
Sigma along with the fire-safe graphite
faced serrated metal core. This gasket
was initially developed for usage in
onshore fire-safe environment, sealing
flammable media under pressure, and
was further developed for use in
alkylation plants.
Fire-safe for corrosive chemical
service, especially alkylation
applications.

Flange Rescue Gasket - CS


In response to demand for effective
sealing in LNG and cryogenic service
applications, we developed the FRG-CS.
The metallic core of the FRG-CS is
manufactured from aluminium as
standard but can be adapted to match
the flange/connection alloy, ensuring the
materials expand and contract at the
same rate, delivering a superior sealing
solution.
The FRG-CS features the unique Sigma
core which adapts to the flange face,
even when already damaged, to provide
excellent sealing potential, preventing
corrosion.
Applications include Liquefied
Natural Gas production facilities.
PTFE ring allows use of FRG-CS in
temperatures ranging from 2600C
to Cryogenic Service.

SIGMA
For applications where
chemical resistance is
paramount, SIGMA
is the only option.

Innovative Materials,
Engineered Solutions
Utilising a unique manufacturing process
exclusive to Flexitallic, SIGMA represents
the latest generation of biaxially orientated
PTFE materials.

Utilising a unique manufacturing process


exclusive to Flexitallic, we created
SIGMA, an innovatively-engineered line
of biaxially-orientated PTFE gasket
materials.

Specified by more than 500 major


companies, SIGMA stands side by
side with Flexitallic metal gaskets and
Thermiculite gasket materials to provide
you with the complete and innovative
sealing solutions you demand to handle
all your sealing applications.

Developed for processes ranging


from cryogenic temperatures to 260oC, and
suitable for sealing virtually every chemical
medium across the entire pH range (0-14),
SIGMA pairs the outstanding chemical
resistance of PTFE with enhanced
dimensional stability to improve overall
material stress retention.

By designing seals that last longer in the


most difficult applications, SIGMA helps
production processes increase their output
capabilities.

The non-stick properties of the SIGMA


range of materials offer excellent removal
after usage to dramatically reduce the
downtime on shutdown.

Total Integrity
When it comes to applications involving
aggressive chemicals, SIGMA provides
enhanced levels of sealing performance
when compared to conventional materials.

In addition, all components in the SIGMA


range are FDA compliant. This inherently
clean nature makes them ideal for use in
industries where product contamination is
of concern such as food, pharmaceuticals
and electronics.

While conventional PTFE-based sealing


materials have long been the choice for
superb chemical resistance, they are not
ideally suited to achieve the maximum
reduction of creep in situations where
seal integrity is paramount - a vital
consideration for stringent long-term
emission control.

Material Compliance and Approvals


TA Luft, DVGW, BAM, WRAS, UDT, FDA,
The Chlorine Institute.

For total sealing reliability, inventory


consolidation and strict long-term emission
control, nothing out-performs SIGMA

TECHNICAL
INFORMATION

Novus Compressed
Fibre Sheet Jointing.

Options
Anti -Stick
Novus materials are available with an
anti-stick finish. The coating is specially
formulated to be environmentally safe
without compromising gasket removal from
the flange. Anti-stick finish is available as
standard on our premium grades Novus 10,
Novus 34 and Novus 49 (Graftec).
Wire Reinforced
Novus materials are available with wire
reinforcement for applications requiring
high compressive strength or where thermal
cycling is severe. Carbon Steel wire is the
standard reinforcement.
Eyelets
Cut gaskets manufactured from Novus
material are available with eyelets. The
eyelet is fitted on the inner diameter of
the gasket and prevents fluid contamination
as well as aiding sealability. The standard
material for the eyelet is 316L stainless steel
but other materials are available on request.
PTFE Envelopes
Cut gaskets fitted with PTFE envelopes
offer excellent chemical resistance under
moderate service conditions, allowing the
use of Novus materials in fluids which
would normally be unsuitable.
Availability
For large volume one size gaskets we can
also supply the materials in coils, increasing
material yield and reducing production time.

INSTALLATION
PROCEDURES
In order to ensure the
optimum service life of
metallic gasket materials,
and sheet products, it is not
only important to choose
the correct material for the
application but to install
and maintain it correctly.
These guidelines are
designed to assist the
end user in the assembly
of gasket materials.

Installation of Metallic Gaskets


Flange Condition
Remove the old gasket and check
that the flange faces are clean and free
from indentations and scoring. Radial
(cross face) scoring is a particular
concern and can lead to joint leakage
For camprofiles, corrugated metal and
spiral wound gaskets, a surface finish of
between 3.2m to 6.3m Ra (125 to 250
micro inch) is recommended; for metal
ring joints a surface finish of between
0.8m and 1.6m is recommended
(dependent on style) and for metal
jacketed gaskets a surface finish of
1.6m Ra is recommended. Use a surface
finish comparator e.g. comparator to
check flange finish.
Check that the flange faces are parallel
or that the pipework is sufficiently
flexible to allow the flanges to be pulled
parallel and concentric without excessive
bolt loads.
Gasket
Always use a new gasket

Scrape, wire brush or file as necessary the


back face of each flange where the bolt
heads and nuts are to sit, ensuring that
the surfaces are clean and flat
If possible use hardened flat washers
to ensure even transfer of the load.
Installation
Ensure that the gasket is installed
centrally
It is recommended that the bolts are
tightened using a controlled method such
as torque or tension. If using a torque
wrench, ensure that it is accurately
calibrated

Check that the gasket is in good


condition and that the dimensions are
correct for the class and size of the
flanges

Tighten bolts in a star-like crossing


pattern in the following sequence

Do not use jointing compounds, grease


or lubricants with metallic gasket
materials. These compounds can affect
the contact friction between the gasket
and the flange and can lead to creep and
premature joint failure

Tighten to 30% of the final load

If there is a requirement to fix the gasket


to the flange prior to assembly (e.g. large
vertical flanges) then a light dusting of
spray adhesive e.g. 3M 77 spray may be
used. The adhesive should be applied
sparingly and in isolated areas, and must
be compatible with the fluid medium.

90.

Bolting
Ensure the bolt and nut threads are clean.
Apply bolt lubrication to the bolt and nut
threads and to the face of the nut to be
tightened. Do not apply grease or bolt
lubricant to the joint face. After cleaning
and lubrication it should be possible to run
the nut along the full length of the bolt by
hand. If this is not possible the bolts and
nuts should be refurbished or replaced

Finger tighten nuts


Tighten to 60% of the final load
Tighten to full load
Make a final tightening sequence, working
around the flange, tightening each bolt in
turn until the specified torque is achieved.
After Installation
Check that the flange faces are parallel using
a suitable tool e.g. the Flange Gap Tool.

INSTALLATION
PROCEDURES

Installation of Sheet Products


Flange Condition
Remove the old gasket and check that the
flange faces are clean and free from
indentations and scoring. Radial (cross
face) scoring is a particular concern and
can lead to joint leakage.
For most applications a surface finish of
between 3.2m to 6.3m Ra (125 to 250
micro inch) is recommended. For very thin
gaskets (0.4mm or below) a surface finish as
fine as 1.6m Ra is acceptable. Use a surface
finish comparator e.g. comparator to check
flange finish.
Check that the flange faces are parallel or
that the pipework is sufficiently flexible to
allow the flanges to be pulled parallel and
concentric without excessive bolt loads.
Gasket
Always use a new gasket
The gasket material should be as thin as
possible. Out of flat or pitted flanges may
require thicker gaskets to accommodate the
imperfections. To ensure optimum
performance a minimum thickness/width
ratio of 1/5 (ideally 1/10) is required.
Check that the gasket is in good condition
and that the dimensions are correct for the
class and size of the flanges.
Do not use jointing compounds, grease or
lubricants with gasket materials. These
compounds can affect the contact friction
between the gasket and the flange and can
lead to creep and premature joint failure.
If there is a requirement to fix the gasket
to the flange prior to assembly (e.g. large
vertical flanges) then a light dusting of spray
adhesive e.g. 3M 77 spray may be used.
The adhesive should be applied sparingly
and in isolated areas, and must be
compatible with the fluid medium.

Bolting
Ensure the bolt and nut threads are
clean. Apply bolt lubrication to the bolt
and nut threads and to the face of the
nut to be tightened. Do not apply grease
or bolt lubricant to the joint face. After
cleaning and lubrication it should be
possible to run the nut along the full
length of the bolt by hand. If this is not
possible the bolts and nuts should be
refurbished or replaced.
Scrape, wire brush or file as necessary
the back face of each flange where the
bolt heads and nuts are to sit, ensuring
that the surfaces are clean and flat.
If possible use hardened flat washers
to ensure even transfer of the load.

Gasket Storage
We recommend the following conditions
for the storage of sheet gasket materials:
Room Temperature (Below 25OC)
Away from sources of UV light
(No natural light)
Dry (Humidity levels <60%)
Store Flat
Storing the gasket under the above
conditions will ensure a shelf life of
at least 5 years.
For graphite laminate and Uniflon grades
there is no requirement to avoid UltraViolet light and the storage temperature
is less important. All other conditions
apply.

Installation
Ensure that the gasket is installed
centrally.
It is recommended that the bolts are
tightened using a controlled method such
as torque or tension. If using a torque
wrench, ensure that it is accurately
calibrated.
Tighten bolts in a star-like crossing
pattern in the following sequence:
- Finger tighten nuts
- Tighten to 30% of the final load
- Tighten to 60% of the final load
- Tighten to full load
Make a final tightening sequence,
working around the flange, tightening
each bolt in turn until the specified
torque is achieved.
After Installation
Check that the flange faces are parallel
using a suitable tool e.g. the Flange Gap
Tool.

Gasket Style Selection

Flanges

Ensure that the correct style of


gasket has been selected for the
appropriate application.

Check that the flange faces are clean, in good


condition and with a turned surface finish within
the following range Ra 3.2 to 6.3 micro metres
(125 to 250 micro inches).

All PTFE filled Spiral Wound Gaskets


for raised face and flat face flanges
should utilise an inner and outer
guide ring. When using Style R
Spiral Wound Gaskets ensure that
a compression stop is incorporated
into the flange arrangement.

Required Gasket Compression


For optimum sealing performance
Flexitallic Spiral Wound Gaskets
should be compressed to the
thicknesses shown in the table left.
Spiral Wound Gaskets with internal
or external guide rings i.e. Style CG
and CGI, should be fully compressed
to the guide ring. This will not
damage the gasket or affect the
sealing performance, since the rings
are provided as a compression
limiting stop.

STRESS RELAXATION OF BOLT STRESS & ALLOYS


AT UPPER TEMPERATURE LIMITS

Bolting
Ensure that the correct bolting material is utilised
to suit the operating conditions, taking into
account the limitation of low yield strength bolts.
Ensure that the use of bolt lubrication is employed.
For torque tightening methods Flexitallic
recommends the use of molybdenum disulphide
bolt lubrication or similar nickel based compound.
Do not apply any lubricants when using PTFE coated
fasteners. Consult with the coating manufacturers for
product specific friction coefficients.
Tightening Procedures
Controlled tightening procedures should be used
when installing Spiral Wound Gaskets. Flexitallic
recommends that the use of hydraulic tensioning
equipment be considered where possible for bolt
diameters 1-1/4" and above. Please refer to
Flexitallic's Design Criteria for further technical
information.

GENERAL NOTES
Dimensions in inches and mm.

Figures stated are for information only. Please refer to the current version of the original standards for dimensional information.
NOTES
Torque Values are in Nm, and assume Alloy Steel Bolts (A193 B7 w/ 2H Nuts) with oil/lubrication.
(Nut factors used on these charts are within .15 to .19).
Flexitallic does not generally recommend a bolt stress above 60,000PSI.
Torque Values limit minimum and mazimum gasket seating stresses based upon pressure class and certain operating conditions. (Ie Maximum pressure ratings for
given pressure class, not hydrotest pressure), Extreme operating conditions such as high temperature may reduce bolt yield strength. Caution should be used in these
applications. The above torque values are for general use only. For critical or extreme applications (high temperature/pressure) consult with Flexitallic Engineering.
Flexitallic does not accept responsibility for the misuse of this information.

GENERAL NOTES
Flange Diameter and Bolt Diameter dimensions are in inches. Figures stated are for information only. Please refer to the current version of the original
standards for dimensional information.
NOTES
1. Regular facing for class 150 and 300 steel flanged fittings and companion flange standards is a 1/16 (0.0625mm) raised face included in the minimum
flange thickness dimensions. A 1/16 (0.0625mm) raised face may be supplied also on the class 400, 600, 900, 1500, and 2500 flange standards, but it
must be added to the minimum flange thickness.
2. Regular facing for class 400, 600, 900, 1500, and 2500 flange thickness dimensions.
3. Tolerance of plus or minus 0.016 in. (1/64) is allowed on the inside and outside diameters of all facings.
4. For small male and female joints care should be taken in the use of these dimensions to insure that pipe used is thick enough to permit sufficient
bearing surface to prevent the crushing of the gasket. The dimensions apply particularly on lines where the joint is made on the end of the pipe.
Screwed companion flanges for small male and female joints are furnished with plain face and are threaded with American Standard Locknut Thread.
5. Gaskets for male-female and tongue-groove joints shall cover the bottom of the recess with minimum clearances taking into account the tolerances
prescribed in Note 3.
