Hello everyone, I’m a newcomer. I would like to ask whether there are any requirements regarding the number of gaskets to be used for a pair of pipe flanges?

Under normal circumstances, a gasket is placed between the two flanges. However, when the length of the pipe is not sufficient, it is possible to use a few more sheets; but using too many is definitely not good, and such a practice is not recommended.

The flange calculation takes into account only 1 gasket! Do not adjust the installation dimensions using shims – it is dangerous!

Thank you, are there any regulations regarding this?
