Gasket Diameter Calculation for Metallic Spiral Wound Gaskets for ASME B16.
5 Flanges
Reference: ASME Section VIII Division 1 ( Edition 2008 )
Gasket Dimensions are in inches
Mean Gasket width N = (Gasket O.D - Gasket I.D)/2
Gasket I.D & O.D to be obtained from ASME B16.20 ,Table 9. (Edition 1998)
Basic Gasket Seating b0 = N/2
Effective Gasket or joint contact surface seating width b = b0 , if b0 <= 0.25
= Cb(b0)^0.5 , if b0 > 0.25
(Cb conversion factor = 0.5 for US customary calculation)
Gasket Diameter G
G = mean diameter of the gasket contact face, if b0 is less than or equal to 1/4
i.e: G = (O.D + I.D)/2
G = outside diameter of gasket contact face less 2b , if b0 is greater than 1/4
i.e: G = O.D - 2b
