1
Gasket
• Gasket is sealing material
placed between connecting
Flanges
• create a static seal
• Maintain leakage proof sealing
in all operating conditions
2
Gasket Selection Criteria
• Temperature
• Pressure
• Corrosion resistance
• Types of fluid
• Robustness
• Availability
• Cost
3
Gasket Types
• Non-Metal
− Rubber, Teflon, Compressed Non-asbestos Fiber (CNAF)
− Soft gasket can be full face or inside bolt circle
− Easily compressed with low tension bolting
− Used in low pressure class flanged such as 150 or 300
Class
− Normally used in low temperature services
− Not used in hydrocarbon services
− Cheapest and easily available

Non-Metal Gasket
CNAF PTFE
5
Gasket Types
• Metal
− Also known as ring gasket or RTJ
− Soft iron, Low Carbon steel, Stainless Steel, Monel,
inconel
− Used in high pressure class flanges, normally above 900
Class
− High tension bolting required
− Very robust
− Most costly
6
Metallic Gasket R-Type (RTJ)
7
Gasket Types
• Composite
− Combination of metal and non-metal
− Spiral wound, Metal Jacketed, Kamprofile
− Graphite or PTFE used as filler material
− Stainless steel or other exotic material can be used as
winding material
− Used in wide range of pressure and temperature
− Careful handling required
− Cost effective
8
Spiral wound Gasket
• Composites of metal and non-metallic materials
• Graphite or PTFE used as filler material
• Stainless steel or other exotic material can be used
as winding material
• Most widely use type gaskets. Suitable for wide
range of pressure and temperature class.

Metal Jacketed Gasket
• Composites of metal and non-metallic materials
• Soft filler material are enclosed in outer metal
sheet jacket
11
Kamm/ Cam profile Gasket
• Metal core with concentric grooves
• Sealing layers of either graphite or PTFE
• Costlier than Spiral wound but provide better
blowout resistance easy to handle even in large
diameters
