Technical Document

Unless otherwise specified, compressed fiber gaskets shall be used with flat face flanges and
raised face slip-on flanges. Spiral wound gaskets shall be used with raised face flanges,
except for raised face slip-on flanges. Gaskets containing asbestos are not acceptable.
Gaskets shall be suitable for the design pressures, temperatures and system medium
application.
Compressed fiber gaskets shall be in accordance with ANSI B16.21, and materials shall be
suitable for a maximum working pressure of 41.5 bars and a maximum working temperature
of 400C. Gaskets shall be dimensioned to suit the contact facing. Gaskets shall be full faced
for flat face flanges and shall extend to the inside edge of the bolt holes on raised face flanges.
Gaskets for plain finished surfaces shall be not less than 1.5 mm thick and for serrated
surfaces shall be not less than 2.5 mm thick.
Spiral wound gaskets shall be constructed of a continuous stainless steel ribbon wound into a
spiral with non-asbestos filler between adjacent coils. The gasket shall be inserted into a steel
gauge ring whose outside diameter shall fit inside the flange bolts properly positioning the
gasket. The gauge ring shall serve to limit the compression of the gasket to the proper value.
Compressed gasket thickness shall be 3.5 mm.
Ring joint gaskets shall be octagonal in cross section and shall have dimensions conforming
to ANSI B16.20. Material shall be suitable for the service conditions encountered and shall
be softer than the flange material.
Rubber gasket materials shall be cloth inserted sheet rubber and shall conform to ANSI
B16.21. They shall be full face and 1.5 mm thick unless otherwise specified.
Flange bolting shall conform to the following requirements:
Alloy steel bolting shall be used for joining all steel flanges, except steel slip-on flanges, with
Class 150 or greater ratings, and shall conform to the following:

Bolting shall conform to the requirements of ANSI B16.5.

Bolting shall consist of threaded studs and two nuts for each stud.

Material for studs shall be ASTM A193 Grade B7

Material for nuts shall be ASTM A194 Grade 2H

Carbon steel bolting shall be used for joining all other flanges, including steel slip-on
flanges, and shall conform to the following:

Bolting shall conform to the requirements of ANSI B16.1 and ANSI B16.24.

Bolting for bolt sizes 40 mm and larger shall consist of threaded studs and two
nuts. Bolting for bolt sizes less than 40 mm may be threaded studs and nuts or
bolts and nuts.

Bolts and nuts shall be heavy hexagonal head conforming to ANSI B18.2.

Materials shall be ASTM A307 Grade B.

All nuts and bolts shall be metric.

Buried bolting shall be cadmium zinc plated in accordance with ASTM A153.
Piping unions shall be of the ground joint type constructed of materials equivalent in alloy
composition and strength to other fittings in the piping systems in which they are installed.
Union class ratings and end connections shall be the same as the fittings in the piping systems
in which they are installed.
Steel unions shall have hardened stainless steel seating surfaces on both faces.
