The Flexitallic EquiflexTM gasket is designed for sealing in ring type
joint connections where the presence of corrosion or damage to the
flange groove could compromise joint integrity.
The EquiflexTM gasket is a semimetallic gasket with a dual or
tandem seal arrangement designed to seal across RTJ flanges where
the sealing groove has been corroded or damaged.
The inner seal, located inbound of the ring groove, functions as the
primary containment seal while the outer, secondary seal located
outbound of the ring groove isolates the groove from the external
environment.
EquiflexTM gaskets are designed tobe used in standard ASME B16.5 RTJ flanges. They are particularly suited for use in moderate to high pressure applications in the upstream oil and gas sector where media streams may contain corrosive components such as sea water or in sour service.
