Inches indicate the size specification, while pounds represent the pressure rating. With these two pieces of information, along with the standard material and end face configuration, the specific dimensions of the gasket can be found in the relevant standards; manufacturers can use this information to produce the gasket – just by referring to the appropriate standards, it will be clear

\"Inches\" refers to the diameter or nominal diameter of the gasket; for example, DN100 means 4 inches. A few pounds refers to the pressure rating of the gasket, such as 150LB

Shouldn’t 1 inch equal 3.33 CM?
