Flange Face and Gasket

What type of gasket is this ?

• Full Face

• Flat Ring

• Raised Face

Which one of these factors must be considered before choosing a gasket or O-ring?

• cost

• compatibility

• availability

• maintenance

The gasket that is made of stainless steel with a graphite insert is the ___________________ gasket.

• strip

• ring

• spiral wound

• envelope

What is the function of the outer ring in a semi-metallic gasket?

• Centering gasketing portion between flanges

• Prevents internal extrusion of the gasket when compressed

• Limiting bolt load at proper compression

• Preventing external expansion of the gasket when compressed

Which type of gasket is designed for high pressure, high temperature, or highly corrosive applications?

• Lens Ring Gasket

• Solid Metal Gasket

• Flat Solid Metal Gasket

• Semi-Metallic Gasket

Named the flange face type shown in the picture.

• Flat Face (FF)
• Ring Type Joint (RTJ)
• Raised Face (RF)
• Male and Female (M&F)

Named the types of flange shown in the picture.

• Slip-On Flange

• Threaded Flange
• Weld Neck Flange

• Blind Flange

How is a Full Face Gasket dimensioned?

• O.D = O.D of Tongue, I.D = I.D of Tongue

• O.D = O.D of Male Face, I.D = Nominal O.D of Steel Pipe

• Self-Centering O.D = BCD - Bolt Diameter, I.D = Nominal O.D of Steel Pipe

• O.D = O.D of the Flanges, I.D = Nominal O.D of Steel Pipe

What unique characteristics does a spiral wound gasket possess?

• Resistance to low temperatures & low pressures

• Inability to adjust to changes in operating conditions

• Poor sealability with a large gasket area

• Resilience to high temperatures & high pressures

What is the function of the outer ring in a semi-metallic gasket?

• Centering gasketing portion between flanges

• Prevents internal extrusion of the gasket when compressed

• Limiting bolt load at proper compression

• Preventing external expansion of the gasket when compressed
