Gasketing Material Selection

The selection of a material is difficult due to the existence in the market of several choices. The four basic conditions, which must be observed on selecting  material, are:

• Operating pressure.
• Bolt load.
• Resistance to chemical attack (corrosion)
• Operating temperature.

The corrosion resistance can be influenced by several factors, mainly:

• Concentration of the corrosive agent: a greater concentration does not necessarily make the fluid more corrosive.
• Temperature of the corrosive agent: usually high temperatures accelerate the corrosion.
• Dew point: the fluid excursion through the dew point, in the presence of sulfur and water frequently found in gases resulting from combustion, can lead to extremely corrosive condenses.
