Can American-standard gaskets be used with European-standard flanges? The sealing surface of European standard flanges is larger than that of American standard flanges
European and American standards cannot be used interchangeably
There are generally no issues with using it. If you provide the specific diameter and pressure rating, I can give you a definite answer
Weren’t we told that European and American standards cannot be used together?
I’m referring specifically to 304 + flexible graphite; as long as it doesn’t interfere with the bolts, there are no sealing issues. Of course it can be used. If we go by the norms, it cannot be used.
I’m still not very good at dealing with things like these flange gaskets
It must not be used under any circumstances; such standards are also not acceptable. The sizes of the sealing surfaces of the two flanges are different, as are their inner diameters, outer diameters, center distances, and bolt hole diameters. Therefore, the inspection results cannot be applied universally
