Q: I’m using a spiral wound gasket and am having difficulties with leakage. Can you recommend something that can protect against leakage and handle a harsh salt-rich corrosive environment?
A: For this type of application I would recommend a titanium or Titanium JG / JP gasket. This style of gasket can handle not only salt corrosion but also provides 15,000 x better leak rate protection compared to a spiral wound gasket.
