Types of gaskets. Non-Metallic gaskets are usually composite sheet materials are used with flat-face and raised-face flanges in low Pressure Class applications. Non-metallic gaskets are manufactured from arimid fiber, glass fiber, elastomer, TeflonÂ® (PTFE), graphite etc.. Full-face gasket types are suitable for use with flat-face flanges. Flat-ring gasket types are suitable for use with raised face flanges. ASME B16.21 covers types, sizes, materials, dimensions, dimensional tolerances, and markings for non-metallic flat gaskets.
A flange is usually in the shape of a disc and is used to connect two tubes together or to connect a pipe to a valve, tee, choke or other component. Providing support and strength, two flanges are typically attached to pipe ends with a gasket in between. To refresh your memory, letâs take a look at six different types of flanges. As we go through them one by one, youâll remember how easily flanges can be identified by simply taking note of the distinct characteristics that correlate to their application and function.
