HGCIK Sealing Gasket
HGCIK Sealing gasket is special designed for flange sealing and insulating in all critical services. It's suitable for raise flat-face and RTJ flanges in all pressure classes even API 15,000 psi service.
Due to its unique pressure activated sealing mechanism, the gasket requires far less bolt stress to seal than any other gasket. The HGCIK gasket inner diameter is exactly matched to the flange bore to eliminate turbulent flow and flange face erosion/corrosion. The seal elements are replaceable in the reusable gasket retainer.
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
◇Seals and insulates at all pressures classed including API 15000 psi service
◇Withstands severe service conditions including large bending moments, vibration, temperature and pressure cycling
◇Designed to withstand corrosive environments, including high concentrations of CO2 , H2S, produced water, etc
◇Outstanding insulation properties for cathodic protection
◇Pressure-activated seals provide high confidence sealing and eliminate costly leaks
◇Gasket is sized to the bore to protect flange faces from media-induced corrosion and flow-induced erosion
◇Prevents turbulent flow at flanged connections
◇Mitigates galvanic corrosion in dissimilar metal flanges
◇Available to match any flange specification (ANSI,API,MSSP,BS,DIN,AS,others)
◇Can mate mismatched RTJ with raised-face flange
◇Easy installation, make up and removal
