Product Description
ASME flange calculations are meticulously detailed in the essential Appendix 2, aligning remarkably with the principles and methodologies outlined in GB150. Both standards offer nearly identical results, ensuring consistency and reliability in flange application. However, keen attention must be paid to the subtle differences in design details that differentiate these two types of flanges. What are these nuanced differences, and how do they impact the overall performance and selection of flanges?
1. Width of Gasket
In the realm of GB equipment flanges, data is predominantly referenced from NB/T47021-47023-2012, ensuring a rigorous adherence to established standards. Gaskets are chosen with precision, aligning with the specifications of NB/T 47024~47026-2012. This meticulous selection process involves basing the choice on the standard nominal diameter and pressure rating, meticulously filling in the standard number to ensure a perfect fit and function.
In contrast, ASME doesn't provide predefined standard gaskets for equipment flanges, offering flexibility and adaptability in selection. Instead, professionals are encouraged to look towards corresponding pipe flanges or Appendix Table 2-4. This guidance aids in selecting the optimal gasket width, crafting a bespoke gasket design, and even providing a detailed gasket diagram, ensuring precise alignment with specific project needs and conditions.
