Defender by Lamons

The Defender™ sealing/isolating gasket system is designed for critical/extreme applications.

Description

gaskets150100

The Defender™ sealing/isolating gasket system is designed for critical/extreme applications. Manufactured with a 316 stainless steel core retainer and laminated on both sides with high strength laminates,the Defender™ gasket is resistant to deforming under load and is used when electrical isolation and corrosion control are required on pipes containing gas, natural gas, oil and other hydrocarbon based medias up to 392ºF (200ºC).

Available for flat face, raised face and ring type joint flanges from 1/2" to 36", ANSI 150-2500# and API 2-10K, the Defender™ gasket is an engineered solution for trouble-free operation that eliminates costly leaks and provides a solution for fugitive emissions. It is manufactured with an innovative industry first Press-n-Lock™ "Glue-Less Seal & Groove Technology" that combines a press-in, pressure activated and spring energized seal with a unique groove that retains the seal element without the use of glue on key contact surfaces! The Press-n-Lock feature provides a higher confidence in sealing.

The flange face makes initial contact with the sealing element which protrudes above the gasket retainer surface (isolation material) laminated on both sides of the stainless steel core.

    


The spring energized, pressure activated sealing system is initiated. The base of the Teflon® seal is contained within the stainless steel core to provide superior sealing strength for critical/extreme sealing applications. The spring prevents over-compression of the Teflon® seal thereby allowing the pressure of the media within the pipe to activate the seal. G10 or G11, laminated on both sides, provides the dielectric strength needed to isolate the flange application and has the compressive strength to easily withstand high bolt loads.

CONFIGURATIONS FOR GASKET TYPE AND SLEEVE AND WASHER SETS

 

         


Type "E" Gasket
Fits over the bolt holes and extends to the O.D. of the flange to assist contractors as the bolt holes automatically center the gasket. Provides excellent protection against shorting out of the corrosion mitigation hardware.

 

Type "F" Gasket
Fits within the bolt hole circle of the flange and extends to the I.D. of the bolt circle providing good protection against shorting out of the corrosion mitigation hardware.

    

"E" or "F" Type Gaskets
In general, 99% of Steel Core Gasket Applications are type "F", no bolt holes. The Defender gasket is also available in a Type "E" configuration.

 

 

Single Washer Set
One isolation sleeve, one steel washer and one insulating washer for each stud/bolt.

 

Double Washer Set
One isolation sleeve, two steel washers and two insulating washers for each stud/bolt.
