A few days ago, an leakage accident occurred in one of our company’s methanol pipelines, causing a large amount of methanol to spill out from the flange. We are all using 16KG flanges, and the temperature of the material is 60 degrees. At that time we used white glue boards; so what kind of gasket would be the best choice for such pipes? How about tetrafluoride plates? If it is a lined pipe, what type of gasket is best to use? What type of gasket should be used for ordinary carbon steel pipes?

Metal-wound gaskets, steel-reinforced PTFE gaskets

PTFE gaskets should work fine, as the temperature and pressure are not high
