I have a project that is wanting Kammprofile gaskets for RTJ flanges manufactured in accordance with BSI EN12560-6 but I dont' have access at work to BSI standards and we are required to specify to ASME/API/etc. standards, particularly since this if for a plant in the States.

So, I have a question: Are gaskets that are manufactured per the BSI above interchangable with RTJ flanges that are manufactured to ASME B16.20 and meant to fit ASME B16.5 flanges?
