What is BS EN 12560-5- Metallic ring joint gaskets for use with steel flanges about?
BS EN 12560 is a European standard on flanges and their joints that discusses gaskets for class-designated flanges. BS EN 12560-5 is the fifth part of a multi-part series that specifies the dimensions and marking of metallic ring-joint gaskets for use in conjunction with specific flange facings (type J) of flanges complying with prEN 1759-1:2000 for Class 150, Class 300, Class 600, Class 900 and Class 1 500 for nominal sizes DN 15 to DN 600, and for Class designation 2 500 up to and including DN 300 to manufacture gaskets of acceptable standards.
Note: The materials for metallic ring-joint gaskets are outside the scope of BS EN 12560-5, but guidance on typical materials and their harnesses is given in annexes A.
Who is BS EN 12560-5- Metallic ring joint gaskets for use with steel flanges for?
BS EN 12560-5 on metallic ring joint gaskets for use with steel flanges is relevant for:
- Metallic ring joint gaskets manufacturers
- Flanges manufacturers
- Oil/Gas and Petrochemical industry
- Rubber industry
Why should you use BS EN 12560-5 - Metallic ring joint gaskets for use with steel flanges?
Ring joint gaskets are metallic sealing rings suitable for high pressure and high-temperature applications and are fitted in ring groove type flanges. They are widely used in the Oil/Gas and Petrochemical industry, in valves and pipe-work.
BS EN 12560-5 provides you with a range of Class designations, a range of gasket sizes, an identification number and information to be supplied by the purchaser. BS EN 12560-5 also provides gasket types.
This assists in manufacturing efficient metallic ring joint gaskets that are durable and of high quality.
BS EN 12560-5 provides you with appropriate dimensions and tolerances of metallic ring joint gaskets that prevent wastage due to manufacturing gaskets of incorrect size and save time and effort.
With compliance to BS EN 12560-5, you can enhance the efficacy of metallic ring joint gaskets for use with steel flanges and manufacture a standardized product that has global acceptance in the market.
