Types of Gaskets for Flanges Soft, Spiral, Ring Joint)


Author: Projectmaterials Posted: September 20, 2017 26 Comments

Learn about the 5 key flange gaskets types (used in the oil and gas industry): non-asbestos
gaskets full and raised face (used for low-pressure, low-temperature and non-critical
applications), spiral wound gaskets (for higher temperature and pressure oil and gas
applications), Ring joint gaskets style R, RX, BX (for RTJ flange faces), Kammprofile and
Jacketed gaskets. The article describes the scope of each type of gasket, the dimensions to
ASME B16.20 and ASME B16.21, the materials and give some indications to select the right
gasket for piping applications.

NON ASBESTOS GASKET


Non-asbestos gaskets are the simplest type of gasket for flanges and are produced by cutting
graphite, organic or inorganic non asbestos sheets into shape (generally, with water jet cutting
machines). This type of gaskets for flanges suits low pressure, low temperature, and non-critical
piping and plumbing applications.
The two main types of non-asbestos gaskets are the “full face” FF for FF flanges and the “flat
ring” type for raised face flanges RF .

Non-asbestos gaskets have fully replaced asbestos gaskets for decades as studies
demonstrated the risks (for human health) associated with the production, use, and disposal of
asbestos materials. The ASME B16.21 specification covers non-asbestos sheet gaskets (types,
sheet materials, dimensions, dimensional tolerances, and marking requirements).

The terms, “flat-cut gaskets”, “die-cut gaskets”, “compressed sheet gaskets” and “asbestos-free
gaskets” are synonyms to define this low-end family of flange gaskets.
To select the right material for non-asbestos gaskets, multiple factors shall be considered: fluid,
temperature, pressure, fugitive emissions laws, and mechanical issues.

NON ASBESTOS GASKET MATERIALS

The most common materials used to manufacture compressed fiber gaskets are aramid fibers
(Kevlar), glass fibers, elastomers, Teflon (PTFE), graphite, neoprene mixed with various binder
materials (the most common binder is NBR, i.e. Buna-N
Aramid NBR binder
carbon graphite reinforced
glass reinforced (steam service gasket)
PTFE bi-axially oriented (silica filler)
SBR (styrene-butadiene)
CR-chloroprene Neoprene)
EPDM gasket (ethylene propylene)
fluorocarbon Viton)
graphite
BUNA-n-rubber (nitrile, NBR gasket)
chlorosulfonated polyethylene Hypalon gasket)
aramid + SBR binder (premium type gasket)
graphite + ss316/316l insert
PTFE biaxially oriented (with hollow glass microsphere) blue
PTFE biaxially oriented (pigment-free)-gray
expanded PTFE gasket
PTFE joint sealant
PTFE envelope slit type
PTFE envelope milled type
PTFE envelope formed type
MICA sheet
ceramic fiber
Non-asbestos gaskets can also be coated with graphite, for non-stick and steam resistance,
mixed with PTFE for excellent chemical resistance, or with EPDM for potable water applications.

SPIRAL WOUND GASKET


A Spiral wound gasket for flanges feature a metal sealing element filled with graphite, PTFE,
ceramic fibers and, non-asbestos fibers (fillers). For this reason, spiral wound gaskets are
classified as “semi-metallic” gaskets.

Convert web pages and HTML files to PDF in your applications with the Pdfcrowd HTML to PDF API Printed with Pdfcrowd.com
The metal component of the spiral wound gasket provides strength to the seal, whereas the
fillers enhance the gasket’s conformability and resilience. Inner and outer rings can be added to
the core sealing element to facilitate the installation and enhance the pressure rating. Spiral
wound gaskets with graphite fillers are the most commonly sold type.
Flexitallic USA introduced spiral wound gaskets in the petrochemical industry back in 1912 to
cope with an increasing demand for leak-proof seals in applications with higher and higher (and
fluctuating) temperatures and pressures. Other reputable spiral wound gasket manufacturers are
Garlock and Lamons.
Indeed, a spiral wound gasket is designed to withstand, better than other types of flange
gaskets, the mechanical stress generated by high temperature and pressure applications. Spiral
wound gasket application range, therefore, from oil and gas to power generation.

The diameter of a spiral wound gasket may range between a few mm up to 5.000 mm, and the
spiral wound gasket thicknesses range from 3.2, 4.5, 6.4, to 7.2 mm.
A Spiral wound gasket may be ordered in different shapes, such as oblong, rectangular, oval,
pear and diamond.
ASME B16.20 is the spiral wound gasket specification.
The round type is, of course, the standard shape for the raised face RF , male-and-female
M&F , and tongue-and-groove flanges T&G for petrochemical applications.

SPIRAL WOUND GASKET TYPES


A few different types of spiral wound gaskets exist, depending on:
the number of rings (outer and inner)
the materials of the inner and the outer ring of the gasket

Convert web pages and HTML files to PDF in your applications with the Pdfcrowd HTML to PDF API Printed with Pdfcrowd.com
Type 00 Spiral Wound Gasket without rings: they are used for tongue and groove, male
and female flanges.
Type 01 Spiral Wound Gasket with inner ring: they are used for male and female or special
flange types.
Type 10 Spiral Wound Gasket with outer ring: they are used for raised face flanges.
Type 101 Spiral Wound Gasket with inner and outer rings: they are used for raised face
flanges.
Special Section: Spiral Wound Gasket with special rings: they are used for special flanges
and special usage.
Each manufacturer, of course, has specific codes to designate the different spiral wound gasket
types, but the typical designs are recurring regardless of the producer.

SPIRAL WOUND GASKET MATERIALS

Spiral Winding Materials


The sealing element of a spiral wound gasket is produced by interleaving plies of alternating
metal winding strip combined with a filler material. The formed metal strip in the key sealing
element of this type of semi-metallic gasket.
The most common winding materials are:
SS 304L
SS 316L
SS 321
Titanium
Nickel
Nickel alloys
Duplex
Filler Materials
Filler materials are used to enhance the conformability and the resilience of a spiral wound
gasket. The most used filler material is graphite, however, other filler materials may be used
depending on the application:
Graphite
PTFE
Ceramic fibers
Non-asbestos
Inner and Outer Rings Materials
The inner and the outer rings of a spiral wound gasket may be the same material of the winding
core or a different one.
Solid inner rings are required by the ASME B16.20 specification for flanges with pressure rating
900# NPS 24 and larger, 1500# NPS 12 and larger, pressure class 2500#, NPS 4 and larger.
The inner ring improves the pressure rating of the spiral wound gasket, as it provides additional
compression to the flanged joint and provides a heat and corrosion barrier protecting the gasket
windings and the flanges from erosion.

RING JOINT GASKETS R, RX, BX


A Ring Joint Gasket RTJ provides a strong and durable metal-to-metal seal between two
mating RTJ flanges. As the flanges are bolted, the softer material of the ring joint gasket is
“squeezed” into the flanges grooves (made of a harder material) and seals the connection very
tightly. RTJ gaskets are available in three styles, R (oval, octagonal), RX, and BX.
Ring joint gaskets RTJ ensure a long lasting and strong seal for flanges, valves, piping spools
and vessels at high pressure and temperatures (which are typical conditions for many
petrochemical processes).
RTJ are available in different designs (called “styles”) and dimensions, as illustrated in the picture
below BX, R, and BX .

RTJ GASKETS TYPES


R Type Ring Joint Gasket Oval and Octagonal)
“Style R” is the most common RTJ gasket type. R type ring joint gaskets are available in oval or
octagonal cross-section and manufactured according to API 6A and ASME B16.20 to suit API 6B
and ASME/ANSI B16.5 flanges.
Convert web pages and HTML files to PDF in your applications with the Pdfcrowd HTML to PDF API Printed with Pdfcrowd.com
This type of RTJ gasket is machined to tight manufacturing tolerances to ensure correct
installation with standard ASME B16.5 and API 6B ring joint faced flanges. “R style” oval and
octagonal RTJ gaskets can seal pressures up to 6.250 psi by ASME B16.20 and up to 5.000 psi
according to the API 6A pressure ratings.
Type R RTJ gaskets are frequently used for valves covers.
Style RX RTJ Gasket
The RX type RTJ gasket is manufactured according to API 6A and ASME B16.20 to suit API 6B
and ASME/ANSI B16.5 flanges.
The RX is a pressure energized version of the R octagonal gasket and fits the R type flat-
bottomed groove.
The RX has an increased height and utilizes the internal system pressure to energize and
improve the seal as internal pressure increases.
Some RX sizes have a pressure relief hole to equalize pressure on both sides of the sealing
faces.
Style BX RTJ Gasket
The BX type RTJ gaskets are manufactured according to API 6A and are suitable for use in high-
pressure API 6BX flanges.
The gaskets form a metal to metal seal on assembly and the efficiency improves as internal
pressure increases.
All BX sizes have a pressure relief hole to equalize pressure across sealing faces.

RTJ GASKET MATERIALS


The material of RTJ gaskets shall match the flanges material but must have a lower hardness:
this to ensure that the gasket, and not the flange, get plastically deformed within the groove of
the flange as the two mating flanges are bolted together.
In case a harder material for the ring type joint is used, the groove of the flange would be
damaged as the flanges are tightened (the hardness values for ring joint gaskets are given
below).

KAMMPROFILE GASKET
KAMMPROFILE GASKET DEFINITION
A Kammprofile gasket is manufactured by applying a sealing layer in non-metallic materials (such
as graphite, PTFE Teflon, ceramic fibers, non-asbestos, Mica, etc) or metallic materials
(as aluminum or silver) on both sides of a metal core featuring concentric grooves of 1 mm Cam-
Pitch. This sealing product, called also “grooved metal gasket” or “corrugated metal gasket”, is
used for high-pressure and temperature oil & gas applications.
Kammprofile gaskets are used in many industrial, petrochemical, power generation and nuclear
installations (to seal flanges, heat exchangers, superheaters and, other pressure equipment) and
are preferred to Spiral Wound Gaskets for processes with constant high pressure/temperatures
requiring strong bolt-loads and remarkable flanged joints’ resistance.

Convert web pages and HTML files to PDF in your applications with the Pdfcrowd HTML to PDF API Printed with Pdfcrowd.com
Kammprofile gaskets fit smooth and stock flange surface finish 3.2 to 6.3 μm Ra, i.e. 125 250
RMS .
The common thickness of a Kammprofile gasket is between 2 and 4 mm 3 mm is the most
common specification in petrochemical applications).
A Kammprofile gasket offers several benefits, due to its wide sealing area and construction:
May resist temperatures up to approx. 1000°C (the Kammprofile temperature rating
depends on the materials of the metal core and the sealing layer)
May rate up to 250 bars, which is a considerable pressure rating
The gasket does not damage the flange surface, due to the protection offered by the
sealing layer
The gasket can absorb fluctuations in temperature and pressure
It is more tolerant than Spiral Wound Gaskets to improper bolting torques
Suits both light and heavyweight flanges, even of large sizes
After assembly, the thickness of the sealing material is extremely low 0.1 – 0.2 mm), thus
reducing leaks and failure rates
The core of a Kammprofile gasket can be re-used after cleaning and fitting the gasket with
a new layering material. This is critical for expensive applications, such as heat exchanger
gaskets that are made of exotic, expensive, materials Inconel, Monel, Hastelloy, and
Cupronickel).

An outer metallic (integral or floating) ring may be added to the gasket, to facilitate the centering
of the gasket during the installation on a flange. The sealing layers protect the flange surface
and reinforce the seal.

KAMMPROFILE GASKET TYPES


Kammprofile gaskets are available in two main configurations, parallel root cores/convex root
cores, and two designs (with/without loose outer centering ring), as shown in the image below:

Sealing Layer
The most common layer materials for Kammprofile gaskets are graphite and PTFE Teflon).
The advantages of a graphite layering material are:
Excellent gas tightness qualities
Non-aging properties
Very good chemical resistance
Resistance to high (fluctuating) temperatures and pressures
PTFE is also used due to its excellent chemical resistance, resistance to temperatures up to
250°C and excellent sealing properties for gas applications.

JACKETED GASKET
A Jacketed gasket features an inner soft material core and an outer metallic shell. The inner filler
material provides resilience to the gasket, whereas the metal jacket protects the inner core of
the gasket and withstands the pressure, the temperature, and the corrosion of the process.
Metal jacket gaskets are available with a single or double jacket and are widely used for pumps,
valves, pressure vessels, and other mechanical equipment.
A metal jacket gasket requires flat face flanges with a smooth face finish to seal effectively.
The size range and thickness tolerances for this type of gaskets are covered by ASME B16.21
specification:
OD Less than 5,000mm
Thickness: 2 8mm with tolerance 0.03 inch. to 0.000 inch 0.8mm, 0.0mm)
