Ring PTFE Flange Gasket 1-1/2″ Pipe 1/16″ Thick Class 150 USA Sealing

Description

Product Overview

The Ring PTFE Flange Gasket is a precision‑engineered sealing solution designed specifically for 1‑1/2 inch pipe flanges with a 1/16 inch thickness. Constructed from high‑performance polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), the gasket delivers exceptional chemical resistance, low friction, and a wide operating temperature range from –450°F to 500°F. It conforms to ASME B16.21 standards and FDA specifications, ensuring it meets rigorous industry requirements for both hydraulic and pneumatic systems. The gasket’s dimensions of 3.38 x 3.38 x 0.06 inches provide a compact footprint while delivering reliable compression sealing across a variety of flange configurations. Manufactured by USA Sealing, a trusted name in industrial sealing technology, this product carries a Class 150 rating, indicating its suitability for moderate pressure applications up to 150 psi.

Key physical attributes include a lightweight design at just 0.53 ounces, facilitating easy handling and installation. The product’s model number BULK‑FG‑1055 helps streamline inventory management and ordering processes. Since its introduction in May 2018, the gasket has earned a strong reputation within the industrial sector, ranking #71 in the Sheet Gaskets subcategory on Amazon, reflecting its popularity among professionals seeking dependable sealing performance.

Usage

This gasket excels in environments where reliable sealing is critical under extreme temperature fluctuations. It is ideal for use in hydraulic circuits that transport high‑temperature fluids, such as oil, glycol, and synthetic lubricants, as well as pneumatic systems that require airtight connections for compressed air or inert gases. The PTFE material’s inert nature makes it suitable for food‑grade applications, complying with FDA standards, which is essential for processing equipment in the food and beverage industry.

Installation is straightforward: the gasket can be placed directly onto the flange face, and the bolt pattern can be tightened to the recommended torque specifications. Its low coefficient of friction reduces the risk of galling or damage to mating surfaces, extending the service life of both the gasket and the flange hardware. The product’s versatility also supports use in chemical processing plants, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and any setting where corrosion‑resistant sealing is required.
