Use of dissimilar metallic flanges with a conductive gasket material assisted by a suitable electrolyte sets up a galvanic cell, corroding the anodic metal. It is here that the flange insulating kit gasket or insulation kit comes into use protecting pipeline flange corrosion.
ITEM DESCRIPTION:
Phenolic laminate/neoprene faced Phenolic laminate gasket [Type E & F only] between the flange sealing faces.
Phenolic laminate bolt sleeves.
Two insulating washers per bolt.
Two plated mild steel washers per bolt. [Stainless steel washers available upon request]
Use of dissimilar metallic flanges with a conductive gasket material assisted by a suitable electrolyte sets up a galvanic cell, corroding the anodic metal. It is here that the flange insulating kit gasket or insulation kit comes into use protecting pipeline flange corrosion. These insulation kits are also used to electrically isolate flange joints, preventing flow of electrostatic charges along the pipeline.
Type - E & F offered by Goodrich Gasket requires the bore of the gasket and the pipe to be equal to prevent any foreign matter from accumulating in the annular space between bore of the gasket and bore of the pipe, thus preventing bridging.
