Lowest Gasket Tightness Requirements

Q: I cannot obtain an adequate seal with my existing metallic gaskets because my current flange and fastener maximum yield strengths will be exceeded. Any suggestions?

A: JP/JG gaskets, with their unique design, offer and low tightening requirement across the surface of the gasket face in order to obtain extremely low leak rates compared to other metallic gaskets. With some applications, when designing piping systems for new processes, a lower pressure class flanges and gaskets can be used as well with the Revoseal JP/JG gaskets.

Gasket Degradation by Exposure to the Process Media

Q: Do I need to consider using internal baffles around my nozzles to protect the gaskets from radiation and gas flow?

A: With the Revoseal gaskets, there is no need to incorporate baffles into your nozzle
designs, since the unique metallic gasket design isolates the graphite or PTFE sealing materials from the process side of the piping and flanges.
