Over 12 inch must have inner rings. Full Gasket Stress is calculated
based on width of spiral windings. The "Maximum Recommended
Gasket Stress" includes the OD guide ring and assumes that the
entire gasket, from the ID of the gasket to the OD of the raised face, is
carrying the load. This might not be the case if the gasket buckles
inward. Can be used up to 1,200F and in all flange classes. (Spiral

See note for SW Graphoil. All SW Teflon filled gaskets must have
SW Teflon 10,000 15,000 60,000 450 inner rings.

MTBE OK. CMG is the recommended gasket for most pipe flanges
and exchanger applications. They are a lot cheaper and remain leak
free. The goal is to stop using Spiral Wound (SW) and convert to
CMG in the 150 and 300lb class, raised face flanges. If gasket
stresses are above 12,000 psi, hot torquing maybe required after the
CMG Graphoil (1) 3,700 8,000 40,000 700 connection is up to temperature.
