Gaskets and Flanges
There are three types of gaskets used in process piping.
- Non-Metallic
- Metallic
- Composite
The full-face gasket is typically used with flat face flanges but can also be used with RF flanges. It sits on the raised flange faces but has the same outside diameter of the flange. For that reason, it has to have holes for the bolts securing the flanges to pass through.
