Insulation Gasket Function

Insulation Gasket Function. The purpose of flange isolation kits is to prevent the (electrolytic) corrosion of flanges and flanged joints that static currents present on a piping system may induce The gasket isolation kit consists of a special gasket isolation sleeves for all the stud bolts and nuts and special washersFlange Insulation kits are designed for electrically insulating the flange and.

Flange Insulation Kits provide an effective seal and electrical insulation of flanges By eliminating metal to metal contact static current is halted to prevent corrosion and aid in the cathodic protection of the pipe Insulation Kits are also used to prevent the flow of electrostatic charge to reduce sparking in hazardous environments.

Insulating Gaskets and Monolithic Isolation Systems

A gasket is a mechanical seal which fills the space between two or more mating surfaces generally to prevent leakage from or into the joined objects while under compression It is a deformable material that is used to create a static seal and maintain that seal under various operating conditions in a mechanical assembly Gaskets allow for “lessthanperfect” mating.

They can control stray electric currents which increases the effectiveness of a cathodic protection system There are four main types of gasket isolation kits designated as F E D and O and each usually contains one washer for each nut one fulllength insulating sleeve for each bolt a gasket and thick plated steel washers for each nut.
