E Gasket Verification
Gasket type was verified to be compatible with the flange facing. SAEP-351,
E1
Refer to Attachment 3 for gasket type selection. Para. 4.1
Gaskets are free from any damage particularly in the seating element.
SAEP-351,
E2 (NOTE: Ensure that spiral wound gaskets are stored flat especially for
Para. 4.1
large sizes, 24 inches and larger.)
SAES-L-109,
E5 Not more than one gasket is used between mating surfaces of flanges.
Para. 11.1
The ring gaskets have the following identification:
a. manufacturer's name or identification trademark
b. gasket number prefixed by the letters R,RX,or BX
SAEP-351,
E6 followed by the gasket material identification.
Para. 4.1
c. The gasket is marked with an ASME B 16.20 designation.
(NOTE: Refer to Attachment 4 for Identification Markings )
(ASME B16.20, Para. 2.4)
The dimension of the ring-joint gasket indicated by letter designation (R,
RX, or BX) stamped on the ring gasket was verified to conform with the
SAEP-351,
E7 flange size and flange standard where it will be used.
Para. 4.1
(NOTE: Verification is made with the details on IFC drawing and Tables
3 to 8 of ASME B16.20). { ASME B16.20, Para. 2.5}
The identification markings on the spiral wound gaskets (flange size
(NPS), pressure class and the appropriate flange standard (ASME B16.5 SAEP-351,
E8
or ASME B16.47) were verified to conform with the flange size and Para. 4.1
flange standard and as specified in the IFC Drawing.
Spiral wound gaskets are marked "B16.47A" for use on ASME B16.47
Series A flanges, and "B16.47B" for use on ASME B16.47 Series B SAEP-351,
E9
flanges. These are not interchangeable. (ASME B16.20, Para. 3.4g) Para. 4.1
(NOTE: Not a requirement for gaskets in ASME B16.5 flanges .)
The spiral wound gasket has the filler flush with the metal windings, not SAES-L-109,
E10
below the metal windings. (ASME B16.20, Para. 3.2.2) Para. 11.3.1
All spiral-wound gaskets are furnished with a centering ring. SAES-L-109,
E11
(ASME B16.20, Para. 3.2.4) Para. 11.3.1
Inner rings are provided on all spiral-wound gaskets having PTFE SAES-L-109,
E12
(polytetra-fluoroethylene)filler material. (ASME B16.20, Para. 3.2.5) Para. 11.3.1
