dc.description.abstract | Asbestos-free gaskets have been used to seal flanged
connections on various applications. This paper discusses the use
of a different style of gasket and details the advantages and benefits
resulting from such a change. The discussion includes an analysis,
supported by laboratory testing and successful field experiences.
The paper is sectioned into three case studies, each topic relating
to a type of product.
• The development of high strength asbestos-free sheet materials
for usage on split case pumps using modern manmade fibers,
including a successful study using the material on a natural gas
pumping station on activated methyldiethanolamine (MDEA). The
MDEA removes carbon dioxide in natural gas process plants.
• The successful implementation in the usage of serrated metal
core technology with various facing materials, in pump case
gaskets, used on hydrocarbon service in oil refineries within the
United Kingdom.
• The development and usage of structurally modified polytetrafluoroethylene
(PTFE) filled products in pumping aggressive
chemicals on sealless pumps.
The paper details the materials, the application areas, and the
problems resolved. Also included are design considerations and an
introduction to installation guidance, with discussions on previous
failures. | en |
