How to choose the right gasket for a piping application? To select the right flange gasket, piping engineers should consider the following 4 key factors: fluid type, process temperature/pressure, disorganized emission patterns, and other general considerations.

To select the right flange gasket, piping engineers should consider the following 4 key factors: fluid type, process temperature/pressure, disorganized emission patterns, and other general considerations. Although gaskets are relatively inexpensive components of the overall piping system, they are critical to its reliability and integrity: saving a few dollars with a gasket can cause a much bigger disaster in the medium to long term, beware!

Flange Gasket Selection

Of course, the first criteria for selecting the correct gasket type is the type of fluid being transported in the pipeline, as well as the fluid temperature and pressure

Different fluids require different gasket materials to ensure that the flange knuckles work over a longer period of time.

The chemical resistance diagram shows how different flange gasket materials resist specific temperatures, pressures and fluids.
