Over prolonged periods in HF acid service, flange faces can become pitted and damaged due to corrosion around the flange bore. The Defender® HF gasket has an integral and unique Kammpro® metallic core designed to offer high integrity primary and secondary sealing components across the flange face all the way to the bore where traditional gaskets are not a reliable solution. Construction materials are generally dictated by the customer’s own piping classifications and the process design specifications.
