Materials
Because Ring Joint gaskets are used in extreme operating condi-tions, it is of utmost importance to select the most suitable, metallic material. In addition to pressure and temperature, the resistance towards the conveyed media has to be con¬sidered. The hardness of the gaskets should usually be lower than that of the flange material in order to prevent mechani¬cal damage to the flange.
