These gaskets are used in different industrial applications. The temperature of application ranges from 380 °C (716 °F) to 650 °C (1202 °F). The pressure of application ranges from 29.42 bar (30 kg/cm2) to 196.13 bar (200 kg/cm2). These gaskets are capable of catering to the distortions between the flanges. They compress in the imperfections of the flanges to create initial seal on application of sealing force. These gaskets are capable of withstanding chemical attack from the media being handled and also the effects of high temperatures and high pressures.
