FLANGE GASKET SOLUTION
Selecting Flange Gaskets
Assistance with Leak Issues
Please provide the flange specifications, medium, temperature, pressure, and on-site conditions, and Chengxin will assist in determining the dimensions, materials, and gasket orientation.
THREE CORE PROBLEMS
If a flange gasket keeps leaking, it’s usually due to one of these three issues
Dimensions, materials, and installation conditions must all be confirmed together in order to effectively eliminate recurring leaks.
I followed the specifications in the table, but it still leaks even after replacing it.
Flange standards and nominal sizes are just the starting point; the face profile, thickness, compression, and actual condition of the flange all affect the seal.
When the material comes into contact with the medium and is subjected to temperature and pressure, it quickly deforms.
Swelling, embrittlement, cold flow, oxidation, and thermal cycling cause gaskets to gradually lose their sealing integrity.
The flange surface and fastening conditions were not reviewed together.
Scratches, warping, misalignment, bolt sequence, and torque distribution can all create new leak paths.

WHY CHENGSHIN
6 Major Advantages of Chengxin Flange Gaskets
From assessment, material selection, measurement, and processing to delivery, every step ensures greater precision in specifications and more reliable lead times.
01Determining the Cause of Failure Together
Examine the flange surface, operating conditions, and bolting conditions based on signs of deformation, corrosion, eccentricity, and leakage.
02Material-Media Matching
Restrict the material's orientation based on water, oil, steam, acids and alkalis, solvents, and temperature and pressure conditions.
03Quick Reference for Standard Sizes
Assist in verifying JIS, ANSI, RF, FF, nominal diameter, inner and outer diameters, and wall thickness specifications.
04Custom sizes manufactured according to drawings
Round, fully flat, square, rectangular, oval, and irregularly shaped holes can all be evaluated based on the data.
05Confirm both the structure and thickness
Incorporate the material, compression recovery, flange face, and operating conditions into a single selection logic.
06Delivery Schedule and Document Processing in Parallel
Quantities, processing methods, delivery dates, and available materials and inspection documents are all organized in one place.
GASKET STRUCTURES
First, determine the gasket type, then decide on the material.
The flange face, hole pattern, pressure rating, and installation method will determine the gasket design.
O-ring
Commonly used for RF raised-face flanges; specifications are determined based on standards, nominal diameter, inner and outer diameters, and thickness.
View Material Description →
Flat Gasket
Commonly used for FF full-face flanges; be sure to verify both the outer diameter and the bolt hole locations.
View Material Description →
Special-Shaped Gaskets
Square, rectangular, oval, and irregular-shaped holes can be designed based on drawings, existing parts, or dimensional specifications.

High-Temperature, High-Pressure Structures
Graphite, metal-wound, and composite structures, as determined based on pressure rating and thermal cycling.
View the high-temperature materials description →MATERIAL SELECTION
For the same size, the choice of material determines its lifespan.
The appropriate gasket material varies depending on the medium, temperature, pressure, cleaning requirements, and flange conditions.
Non-asbestos Fiber Gaskets
Suitable for water, oil, air, and general industrial pipelines; the rating must be selected based on the medium, temperature, and pressure.
Graphite Gasket
Commonly used in steam, high-temperature, and thermal cycling environments; oxidation and compression conditions must be verified.
Teflon Gasket
Suitable for a wide range of corrosive media and cleanliness requirements; be mindful of cold flow and structural support.
Rubber Gasket
Materials such as NBR, EPDM, and FKM are selected based on their compatibility with oil, water, steam, and chemicals.
Metal Wrap Spacer
When dealing with high pressure, high temperatures, and critical joints, it is necessary to verify the inner and outer rings, the sealing material, and the pressure rating.
Composite and Custom Materials
Evaluate cladding, sandwich construction, or special structures based on the specific medium, flange surfaces, and equipment conditions.
APPLICATIONS
Different devices require different sealing methods.
First, examine the actual application scenario, then select the materials, structure, and flange specifications to ensure long-term operational reliability.
Steam and High-Temperature Pipelines
Focus on verifying thermal cycling, the oxidation environment, clamping force, and material springback.
Chemical Engineering and Corrosive Media
First, check the pH, solvent concentration, temperature, and material compatibility.
Water Treatment and General Piping
Select the material and thickness based on water quality, pressure, flange surface, and maintenance frequency.
Food and Pharmaceutical Equipment
Include cleaning conditions, steam cycles, and material documentation in the selection process.
Pumps and Valves
Continuous vibration, pressure cycles, and the frequency of installation and removal can affect the service life of gaskets.
Vacuum and Cleanroom Processes
It is necessary to balance leak rate, material cleanliness, outgassing, and surface condition.

VERIFICATION
There is documentation for the materials, dimensions, and delivery details
This ensures consistency between engineering, procurement, and quality control, resulting in faster acceptance and clearer traceability.
Dimensions and Appearance Verification
Confirm the inner diameter, outer diameter, thickness, hole locations, and overall shape based on the part, drawings, or dimensional data.
Verification of Materials and Documents
Confirm the materials and inspection documents that can be provided based on the specific items, sources, and order requirements.
CUSTOMER RESULTS
In the end, what we see is that the sealing issue has truly been resolved.
From selection to delivery, every step must take into account equipment operation, procurement confirmation, and maintenance scheduling.
There Is a Sequence for Troubleshooting Recurring Leaks
Carefully verify each item—including the flange surface, fasteners, materials, and operating conditions—to clarify the repair approach.
The specifications can be used directly for production.
Once standards, nominal diameters, dimensions, thicknesses, and materials have been standardized, it reduces back-and-forth communication between engineering and procurement.
Better Coordination of Delivery Schedules and Documentation
Confirm quantities, processing requirements, delivery dates, and documentation needs at the same time to ensure a smoother acceptance process later on.
