OUTER RING SELECTION

Key Outer Ring Selection Factors

Outer-ring material should support correct installation and remain suitable for the expected external and process environment.

01

Gasket Alignment

The outer ring provides centering and helps position the gasket correctly between mating flanges.

02

Compression Control

Consider the role of the centering ring in installation and gasket compression control.

03

Corrosion

Account for atmospheric, wash-down, external and any relevant process-related corrosion exposure.

04

Operating Conditions

Consider handling, temperature, pressure, cycling and project material requirements.
