   Non-metallic gaskets are used with flat- or raised-face flanges. Spiral-wound gaskets are used with raised-face flanges, and ring-joint gaskets are used with ring-type joint (RTJ) flanges. Stress develops between an RTJ gasket and the flange groove when the gasket is bolted to a flange, leading to plastic deformation of the gasket. [4]

   Internal pressure acts upon the faces of the V, forcing the gasket to seal against the flange faces. Most spiral wound gasket applications will use two standard gasket thicknesses: 1/8 inch and 3/16 inch. With 1/8 inch thick gaskets, compression to a 0.100 inch thickness is recommended. For 3/16 inches, compress to a 0.13 inch thickness.

   Class V valves leak less than 5 × 10 −12 cubic metres, per second, per bar of pressure differential, per millimetre of port diameter, of water when tested at the service pressure. Class VI valves are slightly different in that they are required (at 50 psi (340 kPa) or operating pressure, whichever is less) to have less than a specified ...
