Flange isolating gasket kits

Flange isolating gasket kits (also called flange insulation kits or isolation kits) are used to electrically isolate two flanged pipe sections while still maintaininga pressure-tight seal. They are commonly installed in pipelines, refineries,gas transmission systems, water treatment plants, and cathodic protection systems to prevent galvanic corrosion and stray-current damage. Astandard kit usually includes:

  • An insulating gasket
  • Insulating sleeves for bolts
  • Insulating washers
  • Steel backup important selection criteria are pressure classflange type (RF/FF/API RTJ)gasket materialelectrical resistance, and **temperature/render_as":"hero","description":"Industrial-grade G10 glass-epoxy isolation kit

Common flange isolation kit types

  • Type E (Full-face)
    Covers theentire flange face including bolt holes. Used mainly on flat-face flanges.

  • Type F (Ringgasket)
    Fits inside bolt circle and alignswith raised-face flanges. Very common in ANSI RF piping.

  • Type D (RTJ)
    Designed for ring-type-joint flanges in high-pressure oilfield service.
