Description
The IsoGuard™ sealing/isolating gasket system is designed for general applications where electrical flange isolation and corrosion control are required on pipes containing water/wastewater, gas, natural gas, oil and other hydrocarbon based medias up to 302ºF(150ºC). Available for flat face, raised face and ring type joint flanges from 1/2" to 48", ANSI 150-1500# and API 2-5K, the IsoGuard™ gasket is an engineered value added solution for trouble free operation. The IsoGuard™ sealing/isolating gasket system consists of a retainer with an incline-plane seal groove geometry designed to optimize each seal's elastic memory, in conjunction with a proven rectangular sealing element ("Quad" ring). This design guarantees low bolt load requirements and high sealing reliability. IsoGuard™ systems are available with a variety of retainers and seal elements.
A FRESH LOOK AT SEALING - DESIGN FEATURES
A Fresh Look at Sealing - Design Feature: A non-spliced (one-piece) Teflon seal element, available from 1/2" to 24". Combining this seal with the incline-plane groove design is a first for this generation of gasket technology; an excellent choice for engineers and end users wanting increased seal integrity.
The flange face makes initial/light contact with the gasket retainer surface (isolation material) and the sealing element protrudes just above the gasket retainer surface.
Rectangular Sealing Element "Quad Seal" in conjunction with the incline plane provides a self-energized seal. The small gap between seal element and retainer illustrates how the incline plane allows the seal material to move in a direction other than point loading the gasket web (small area of retainer between the two seals). This movement prevents cracking and breaking of the gasket retainer under high loads.
Furthermore, the incline plane groove provides the seal with greater elastic memory, thereby helping maintain an effective seal even when bolt load may relax over a period of time.

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
The IsoGuard gasket is available in a Type "E" or "F" configuration to accommodate all your sealing/isolating needs.
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.SUGGESTED SLEEVE/WASHER SETS
