Engineering Reference

Gasket Selection Guide

Selection depends on flange face type, pressure class, temperature, fluid medium, and bolting available. Use this table as a starting point — final selection must confirm with design code and fluid compatibility.

By Flange Face Type

Flange FaceRecommended Gasket TypeNot SuitableNote
Raised Face (RF)SWG with outer ring · CAF/CNAF · Graphite sheet · KammprofileFull-face rubber (unless FF)Most common — widest gasket selection
Flat Face (FF)Full-face rubber · Full-face CAF · Full-face PTFERing-only gaskets (IBC style)Required for cast iron flanges — full face prevents flange rotation
Ring Type Joint (RTJ)Oval / Octagonal RTJ rings · BX / RX (API)All soft gasketsMetal-to-metal seal — groove must be clean and undamaged
Tongue & Groove (T&G)SWG without outer ring (Type A/C) · CAF confined ring · Rubber ringSWG with outer ringSelf-aligning — gasket is fully confined; low blowout risk
Male & Female (M&F)SWG without outer ring · Flat ring CAF/PTFEFull face gasketsGasket seated on female face — confined seating improves reliability
