Good morning,

As it is known, most spiral wound gaskets problems occur during installation? Is is possible to use even adhesive drops to help install them?

Additionally, we have a heat exchanger cap where the gap between its flange and tube sheet flange and we did all the recommended installing steps for the gasket and we still have some leaks.

We though of installing a weld ring gasket. So, any information on this type and how to dismantle the cap in the future when we use such type of gaskets?

Thanks a lot

The drawing you sent us says year of constr. 1992
User should keep all documents and not worry if the factory closed in 2011.
Look for other documents.
You must read about stud torque and elongation, it's the important thing now. Otherwise you will not be able to continue with what you need.

Regards

Inchtain,

My advise will be the following:
1. Start with the ASME PCC-1 recommendation. If you can't find any data in your calculation, ask the forum. Flexitallic has some excellent examples in their catalogue.
2. Contact the OEM. Highlight your problem and see what they recommend.
