Garlock Isolation Gasket

The Garlock Isolation Gasket stands as a high-performance non-metallic insulation gasket, meticulously engineered to meet the electrical isolation and sealing requisites within industrial piping systems. Its core material, Gylon 3500, represents a high-performance composite of PTFE and silica, endowing it with exceptional chemical resistance, thermal stability, and mechanical strength. The Garlock Isolation Gasket, of the Type F Garlock Isolation Gasket, sized at 10 inches, is designed for Class 150LB pressure systems and conforms to the ASME B16.5 RF standard, making it a reliable option for industrial piping systems.

Mechanical Properties of Garlock Isolation Gasket

1. Working Pressure: Suitable for Class 150 High-Pressure Environments  

Designed for a Class 150 pressure rating, the Garlock Isolation Gasket ensures reliable sealing performance in medium- to high-pressure piping systems. Class 150LB is a prevalent pressure rating in industrial piping systems, suitable for applications in general chemical, petrochemical, and related fields. Choosing the Garlock Isolation Gasket ensures stable system operation in high-pressure environments.  

2. Working Temperature: -268°C to +260°C (-450°F to +500°F)  

The Garlock Isolation Gasket offers an extensive operating temperature range, maintaining stable performance under extreme conditions spanning from -268°C to +260 °C. Whether in cryogenic environments, such as LNG applications, or high-temperature scenarios, such as steam pipelines, the Garlock Isolation Gasket effectively prevents material aging and failure, ensuring long-term system reliability.  

3. Compressive Strength: ≥ 20 MPa (Tested per ASTM D695 Standard)  

Tested per the ASTM D695 standard, the Garlock Isolation Gasket achieves a compressive strength of ≥ 20 MPa. This high compressive strength enables it to withstand heavy loads and mechanical stress, reducing the risk of deformation and failure. As a result, it is highly suitable for high-pressure and heavy-duty applications, making it an ideal choice for high-pressure piping systems. 

4. Tensile Strength: ≥ 15 MPa (Tested per ASTM D638 Standard)  

Tested following the ASTM D638 standard, the Garlock Isolation Gasket has a tensile strength of ≥ 15 MPa. This performance metric ensures the gasket’s structural integrity and durability under tensile stress, effectively addressing stretching forces and vibrations in piping systems. Choosing the Garlock Isolation Gasket guarantees system safety and stability.  

Conclusion  

With its outstanding mechanical properties, the Garlock Isolation Gasket provides reliable sealing and insulation protection in Class 150LB medium- to high-pressure environments, extreme temperature conditions, and complex stress scenarios, making it an ideal choice for industrial piping systems. Its high strength, temperature resistance, and durability ensure efficient system operation and long-term stability. Irrespective of being applied in the chemical, petrochemical, or energy sectors, the Garlock Isolation Gasket complies with exacting industrial requirements and represents an essential and irreplaceable component within piping systems.
