ASME B16.20 Spiral Wound Gasket Dimensions

Dimensions of ASME B16.20 spiral wound gaskets for ASME B16.5 flanges in millimetres: inside and outside diameter of the sealing element (winding) and outside diameter of the centering ring, by flange class.

The centering ring locates the gasket inside the bolt circle; the sealing element sits on the raised face. Teshi Group stocks and supplies spiral wound gaskets, normally as a kit with Teshi-manufactured flanges and stud bolts.

Notes

  • Dimensions are in millimetres unless stated otherwise.
  • For Class 900, NPS ½" to 2½", the Class 1500 gasket is used.
  • Class 2500 is listed to NPS 12" only.
  • Inner ring inside diameters have been revised between editions of ASME B16.20 and are not tabulated here; ask for the value to the edition your project specifies.
  • Nominal sealing element thickness is 4.5 mm (0.175").

Reference information compiled from the published standard for convenience. It does not replace the current edition of the governing standard, which takes precedence.

FAQ

ASME B16.20 spiral wound gasket dimensions: common questions

When is an inner ring required on a spiral wound gasket?

ASME B16.20 requires inner rings for PTFE-filled gaskets, for flexible-graphite-filled gaskets unless the purchaser specifies otherwise, and for larger sizes in the higher classes. The inner ring prevents inward buckling of the winding.
