Gasket
■ Parallel root core is standard
design
■ Convex root core compen-
sates for weaker fanges and
resulting fange rotation
■ Integral centering ring en-
sures optimum gasket position-
ing
■ Floating centering ring allows
for expansion and contraction
during thermal cycling
Serrated solid metal core
■Solid metal core resists cold fow,
overcompression and blowout
■Rigid core provides exceptional
stability, even in large sizes, and
facititates handling and installation
■Available in wide variety of metals
Soft, deformable sealing
material
■Under compression, flls seat-ing
surface imperfections to form a
tight, metal-to-metal connection
■Seals under low stress—ideal
for weaker fanges
■Withstands extreme fuctuations
in temperatures and pressures
