Gasket Selection
Sprial Wound Gaskets
One of the best all-around seals, the spiral wound gasket offers a low-cost solution that has the ability to handle temperature and pressure fluctuations. Multiple plies of metal and filler in the spiral create a barrier that reduces the possibility of leaks. oxidizers such as nitric or sulfuric acid.
PTFE filler material provides excellent chemical resistance at temperatures below 500F (260C). In accordance with ASME B16.20, an inner ring is required when using conventional PTFE filler materials, in order to protect the winding from radial buckling.
Other Metal Gaskets
Garlock manufactures a wide variety of doublejacketed, spiral-wound, metal-clad and solid metal gaskets for heat exchanger and coker applications. GRAPHONIC and Kammprofile gaskets are also available in heat exchanger configurations.
See page D-19 for the temperature limits of common metals and filler materials.
Operating Pressure
Temperature and Chemical Considerations
Operating pressures have a direct effect on the construction and selection of metallic gaskets. Higher pressures raise the potential for gasket blowout, while lower pressure applications require a gasket design that seals under lower bolt loads. Garlock gaskets suitable for high pressure include: Kammprofile gaskets Spiral wound gaskets with inner ring Solid metal gaskets Low pressure gaskets include: GRAPHONIC gaskets Garlock Kammprofile gaskets The Garlock EDGE gasket
Be certain that the gasket you order is as resistant as possible to the media and temperature involved. Check the chemical compatibility of the metal as well as the filler material for the media to be sealed. As a general rule, the metal used in either the spiral winding or double-jacketed gasket should be similar to the flange material.
The compressibility of flexible graphite makes it an excellent filler material for metallic gaskets. Flexible graphite may be used in services with temperatures up to 850F (450C), though it should not be used with strong

Spiral Wound Gaskets

Manufactured in Accordance with ASME B16.20
Spiral wound gasketsmade with an alternating combination of formed metal wire and soft filler materialsform a very effective seal when compressed between two flanges. A v-shaped crown centered in the metal strip acts as a spring, giving gaskets greater resiliency under varying conditions. Filler and wire material can be changed to accommodate different chemical compatibility requirements. Fire safety can be assured by choosing flexible graphite as the filler material. If the load available to compress a gasket is limited, gasket construction and dimensions can be altered to provide an effective seal. A spiral wound gasket may include a centering ring, an inner ring or both. The outer centering ring centers the gasket within the flange and acts as a compression limiter, while the inner ring provides additional radial strength. The inner ring also reduces flange erosion and protects the sealing element. Resiliency and strength make spiral wound gaskets an ideal choice under a variety of conditions and applications. Widely used throughout refineries and chemical processing plants, spiral wound gaskets are also effective for power generation, pulp and paper, aerospace, and a variety of valve and specialty applications. As set forth in ASME B16.20, all PTFE filled spiral wound gaskets will be supplied with inner rings. In addition, the following higher pressure class spirals will be supplied with inner rings for all filler material: NPS 24 and larger 900# NPS 12 and larger 1500# NPS 4 and larger 2500#
Starting in May 2008, the metricated edition of this standard recommends the use of inner rings for all graphite filled spiral wound gaskets. However, these gaskets may be specified without inner rings by the purchaser. Both styles will still be stamped ASME B16.20 compliant on the outer guide ring.

Series 600 Metal-Clad Gaskets

Gasket Styles
Style 600Corrugated Solid Metal
A plain, all-metal corrugated gasket for use in low pressure applications that require a thin line contact because of space or weight limitations. Corrugated gaskets are a versatile sealing element where the available bolt loads are low.
Style 624Single-Jacketed Overlap
Construction of this gasket offers more filler protection than the standard single-jacketed design. Although constructed like a single-jacketed gasket, it has the added benefit of totally encasing the filler material.
Style 606Solid Metal with Flexible Graphite Covering

A solid metal gasket covered with a layer of flexible graphite. This covering layer seals at a low load and fills voids and imperfections in the flange.
Style 626Double-Jacketed Corrugated
Concentric corrugated sealing element totally encapsulates the soft filler material. The corrugations give improved resilience in applications where thermocycling is a problem.
Style 627Double Shell
Generally used where the radial dimensions of the equipment sealing surfaces only allow space for a narrow width seal. Single-jacketed gaskets are constructed as shown. The metal jacket reinforces the soft sealing material.
Style 620Single-Jacketed
The double shell on this gasket allows greater hoop strength and rigidity with the addition of a completely overlapping inner seal. This gasket will withstand higher compressive loads common in high pressure applications.
The double-jacketed gasket has good compressibility and resilience and is the most popular metal-clad gasket manufactured.
Style 623Double-Jacketed
Style 629Double-Jacketed Corrugated with Corrugated Metal Filler

The metal filler in Style 629 has greater resilience to problems resulting from thermocycling. The temperature limits of this gasket are governed only by the metal selected.
D-14
Series 600 Gasket Styles

Style 631Two-Piece French-Type
Garlock Style 631 is ideal for narrow circular applications that require a positive unbroken metal gasket line across the full width of the flange. The filler is exposed on the OD. This gasket is also available in one, two, and three-piece constructions.
Style 641Solid Metal Profile

Profile gaskets combine the desirable qualities of a solid metal gasket with the advantages of a reduced area of contact, thereby reducing the bolt stress required to effect a seal. This gasket has the same advantages of strength, heat conductivity, and resistance to temperature, pressure and corrosion as Garlock Style 640.
Style 635Selected Metal and CERAFELT*

This gasket is designed to be used in lightweight flanges. The thick compressible layer of CERAFELT is shielded on the ID with a metallic barrier. Style 635 is commonly used in applications with very hot gases and low pressures.
Style 642Grooved Metal

See Kammprofile, page D-17.
Styles 644 and 645Single- and DoubleJacketed Profile

Metal-jacketed profile gaskets employ the same principle of reduced contact area while protecting the flange faces from damage due to scoring. This gasket can be manufactured in one of two designseither singlejacketed (Style 644) or double- jacketed (Style 645).
Style 640Solid Metal

This gasket offers extremely tight sealing, high mechanical strength, and good resistance to temperature, corrosion and pressure. Bolting stress and flange surface finish are key to the performance of this design.

Factors Affecting Gasket Performance

A gasket is any deformable material which, when clamped between essentially stationary faces, prevents the passage of media across the gasketed connection. Compressing the gasket material causes the material to flow into the imperfections of the sealing areas and effect a seal. This seal prevents the escape of the contained media. In order to maintain this condition, sufficient load must be applied to the connection to oppose the hydrostatic end force created by the internal pressure of the system. Gasket performance depends on a number of factors, including: 1. Gasket Metal and Filler Material: The materials must withstand the effects of: a. Temperature: Temperature can adversely affect mechanical and chemical properties of the gasket, as well as physical characteristics such as oxidation and resilience. b. Pressure: The media or internal piping pressure can blow out the gasket across the flange face. c. Media: The gasket materials must be resistant to corrosive attack from the media. 2. Joint Design: The force holding the two flanges together must be sufficient to prevent flange separation caused by hydrostatic end force, resulting from the pressure acting on the internal area. Proper Bolt Load: If the bolt load is insufficient to deform the gasket, or is so excessive that it crushes the gasket, a leak will occur. Surface Finish: If the surface finish is not suitable for the gasket, a seal will not be effected.

Torque Tables
These tables were developed to be used with Garlock spiral wound gaskets. They are to be used only as a general guide. They should not be considered to contain absolute values due to the large number of uncontrollable variables involved with bolted joints. All bolt torque values are based upon the use of new nuts (ASTM A194, GR 2H) and new bolts (ASTM A193, GR B7) of proper design, acceptable quality and approved materials of construction as well as metallurgy. It is also required that two hardened steel washers be used under the head of each nut and that a thread lubricant (i.e. oil and graphite) be used on the nuts, bolts and washers. The flanges are assumed to be in good condition and in compliance with ASME B16.5 specifications. Special attention should be given to seating surface finish and flatness. Only torque wrenches that have been calibrated should be used. The proper bolt tightening pattern must be followed (see installation section on page D-42 for proper bolting pattern) with the desired ultimate torque value arrived at in a minimum of three equal increments. All bolts in the flange should then be checked in consecutive bolt-to-bolt order. The contact dimensions listed are taken from the ID and OD of the windings, which are different from the ASME ring gasket dimensions. No provisions have been made in these tables to account for vibration effects on the bolts. These tables are based on ambient conditions, without compensation for elevated temperatures.

Torque to Stress Bolts

The torque required to produce a certain stress in bolting is dependent on several conditions, including: Diameter and number of threads on bolt Condition of nut bearing surfaces Lubrication of bolt threads and nut bearing sur faces. The tables below reflect the results of many tests to determine the relation between torque and bolt stress. Values are based on steel bolts that have been well-lubricated with a heavy graphite and oil mixture. A non-lubricated bolt has an efficiency of about 50% of a well-lubricated bolt. Also, different lubricants produce results that vary from 50% to 100% of the tabulated stress figures.

Gasket Installation
In a flanged connection, all components must be correct to achieve a seal. The most common cause of leaky gasketed joints is improper installation procedures.
Prestressing Bolts for Thermal Expansion
Bolting Procedures
Bolts should be prestressed to compensate for thermal expansion as well as for relaxation, creep, hydrostatic end pressure and residual gasket loads. A difference in the coefficient of thermal expansion between the materials of the flange and the bolts may change loads. In cases of serious thermal expansion, it may be necessary to apply a minimum of stress to the bolts and allow the pipe expansion to complete the compression of the gasket.

16-Bolt Flange
Place the gasket on the flange surface to be sealed. Bring the opposing flange into contact with the gasket. Bolts must be new or in as-new condition. Clean the threads and lubricate them with a quality lubricant, such as an oil and graphite mixture. Place the bolts into the bolt holes. Finger-tighten the nuts. Follow the bolting sequence in the diagrams above. During the initial tightening sequence, do not tighten any bolts more than 30% of the recommended bolt stress. Doing so will cause cocking of the flange and the gasket will be crushed. Upon reaching the recommended torque requirements, do a circular bolt-to-bolt torque check to make certain that the bolts have been stressed evenly. Due to creep and stress relaxation, it is essential to prestress the bolts to ensure adequate stress load during operation.
A gasket with a centering guide ring should be compressed to the guide ring. A gasket without a centering guide ring must be installed with precautions taken to prevent thermal expansion from crushing the gasket beyond its elastic limit.

Troubleshooting Leaking Joints

One of the best methods for determining the cause of joint leakage is the careful examination of the gasket where the leakage occurred.
Observation
Gasket extruded excessively Gasket grossly crushed Gasket badly corroded
Possible Remedies
Select replacement material with improved corrosion resistance. Select replacement material with better cold flow properties. Select replacement material with better load capacityi.e., more dense. Select replacement material with better load carrying capacity. Provide means to prevent crushing the gasket by use of a stop ring or redesign of flanges. Review gasket dimensions to insure gaskets are proper size. Make certain gaskets are properly centered in joint. Select softer gasket material. Select thicker gasket material. Reduce gasket area to allow higher unit seating load.
Gasket mechanically damaged due to overhang of raised face or flange bore. No apparent gasket compression achieved
Gasket substantially thinner on OD than ID due to excessive flange rotation or bending
Gasket thickness varies periodically around circumference
Gasket unevenly compressed around circumference
Alter gasket dimensions to move gasket reaction closer to bolts to minimize bending movement. Provide stiffness to flange by means of back-up rings. Select softer gasket material to lower required seating stresses. Reduce gasket area to lower seating stresses. Make certain proper sequential bolt-up procedures are followed. Ensure flanges are properly aligned
Provide reinforcing rings for flanges to better distribute bolt load. Select gasket material with lower seating stress. Provide additional bolts if possible to obtain better load distribution. If flanges are warped, remachine or use softer gasket material.

Ordering Guide
RW, RWI Spiral Wound
When ordering, specify: Nominal pipe size or gasket dimensions, and pressure class Winding and filler materials Centering and/or inner compression ring material The size restrictions for heat exchanger gaskets depend only on the available sizes of the materials. Heat exchanger gaskets are commonly made in diameters up to 120", with rib widths up to 1-1/4" and thicknesses up to 1/4". When ordering, specify: Style number Shape (Give configuration code, page D-13) Thickness Material (metal or metal and filler) Plus specify (according to diagram below): 1. Outside diameter 2. Inside diameter 3. Rib width 4. Radii on ribs, at rib intersect points and around bolt holes 5. Bolt circle diameter 6. Distance from center line of gasket to center line of ribs 7. Size and number of bolt holes
Note: In addition to the above information, drawings of your application are always helpful in proper dimensioning of gaskets.
