Gaskets that Reduce Piping Costs from the Start

Q: Can you suggest a gasket that reduces piping costs and how?
A: For high temperature and pressure piping systems, the required clamping pressure or Seating Stress ‘Gb’ of the gasket in order to contain the process media’s measure of Tightness ‘Tp’ at specified levels of process pressure, is dictated by the M & Y factors of the metallic gasket being considered. The Revoseal gasket’s unique design creates optimum M & Y factors resulting lower initial seating stress loads as well as seating stress load requirements after initial seating and re-tightening requirements. These gasket characteristics can provide Piping System Specialist the ability to design with lower pressure class gaskets and flanges. Anytime a lower pressure class rating is used, lower piping system weight and costs can be reduced.
