    Lens ring gaskets are metallic gaskets that provide a high integrity seal between flanges through a spherical sealing surface that mates with a conical flange surface. They are often used in high-pressure reactors and applications requiring a perfect seal to prevent leaks that could risk worker and environmental safety. Lens ring gaskets distribute compressive loads elastically across the sealing faces to prevent overstressing of the gasket material. Approved materials are carbon steels and stainless steels specified to be softer than the flange material.

    Technical Data Sheet

    LENS RING GASKETS

    Lens ring gaskets are characterized by a spherical sealing surface that touch the conical
    surface of the flange. These gaskets are used in special application with specific values of
    pression, temperature and changes during the time.
    Usually, you can find these gaskets on flange connections of high-pressure reactors where
    there are heavy working conditions and a perfect sealing is needed. In this case a loss of
    material could comport high risks both for the workers and the environment.

    In certain applications, the


    specification of a high integrity
    metallic seal has usually led to the
    selection of the Lens Ring concept,
    rather than the more generally
    recognized ring type joint solution.
    The Lens Ring is covered solely by the
    DIN 2696 specification.
    However, ASME B16.5 and other
    flange types can be modified to
    accept the Lens Ring.
    The Lens Ring provides a metallic gasket design incorporating spherical seating faces
    designed to suit specifically mating flange recesses, providing the user with a high integrity,
    high pressure/temperature metal to metal seal.
    As with all metallic gaskets, the Lens Ring material should be specified softer than the flange
    material, thus ensuring applied compressive load leads to the elastic/plastic deformation of
    the lens ring and not the flange sealing face. The distribution of high compressive loads leads
    to the spread of the gasket facings, ensuring over stressing of the gasket is prevented.
    In accordance with DIN 2696 general materials are limited to a range of specified carbon
    steels and stainless-steel grades, although alternative grades are available upon request.
