Standards, Certifications & Class Approval
Review the available standards and approval information relevant to the product. Actual certification, material traceability, inspection and classification requirements depend on the product type, intended application and purchasing specification.
| Applicable Standards & Certification | Applicable standards may include ASME B16.21 for nonmetallic flat gaskets, ASME B16.20 for spiral-wound gaskets, EN 1514-1 for pipe flanges, and ASTM F104 for gasket material classification. Confirm the exact standard and material grade with the manufacturer. |
|---|---|
| Class Approval | Individual graphite gaskets are not universally class-approved. Marine acceptance may be required for specific machinery or piping applications, with documentation reviewed by DNV, ABS, Lloyd's Register, Bureau Veritas or ClassNK as applicable. |
Installation, Maintenance & Safety Information
| Installation Notes | Verify material compatibility, flange dimensions, pressure class, temperature and surface finish. Clean and inspect both flange faces, use the specified gasket thickness, align correctly, and tighten bolts in the prescribed cross-pattern using controlled torque. Do not reuse compressed gaskets. |
|---|---|
| Maintenance Tips | Inspect for leakage, oxidation, extrusion, cracking or compression damage during planned maintenance. Retorque only when permitted by the equipment maker, and replace the gasket whenever the joint is opened. |
| Safety Notes | Follow the manufacturer's temperature, pressure and chemical limits. Graphite can oxidize at elevated temperatures in air and may be unsuitable for certain strong oxidizing media. Isolate, depressurize and cool equipment before gasket replacement, and use suitable respiratory and hand protection when cutting or handling graphite materials. |
