TECHNICAL GUIDE
Gasket selection guide
A reliable gasket selection starts with the complete application—not material name alone.
1
Temperature
Normal, maximum and upset temperatures can change binder performance, oxidation rate and sealing reliability.
2
Pressure
Operating pressure, design pressure and pressure cycling influence gasket construction and blowout resistance.
3
Media
Identify the process fluid, gas or chemical along with concentration and contamination limits.
4
Flange
Flange material, facing, class, size, condition and available bolt load are critical to seating stress.
5
Standards
Confirm potable-water, food-contact, fire-safe, emissions or customer-specific requirements.
6
Geometry
Provide a drawing, dimensions, sample or equipment information for custom-cut parts.
