Liquids
Gases & Steam
In area 1 the gasket material is suitable using common installment practices subject to chemical compatibility
In area 2 appropriate measures are necessary for installation of the gasket to ensure maximum performance. Please call or refer to KLINGER expert for assistance.
In area 3 do not install gaskets in these applications without first referring to KLINGER expert or contacting KLINGER Thermoseal’s technical support service.
The effectiveness of a gasket in creating and sustaining a seal is influenced by factors such as the gasket material, the sealed medium, flange design, applied pressure, and the gasket assembly process. These elements, beyond the manufacturer's control, play a crucial role. Refer to our installation manual in TECHNICAL RESOURCES for detailed guidance.
