Metal Jacketed Gaskets

Below are some recommendations for determining the dimensions of a jacketed gasket.
Gaskets confined by the inside and outside diameters:
•Gasket inside diameter = Groove inside diameter plus 1/16 in (1.6 mm)
•Gasket outside diameter = Groove outside diameter less 1/16 in (1.6 mm)
Gaskets confined by outside diameter:
•Gasket inside diameter = Flange inside diameter plus a min. of 1/8 in. (3.2mm)
•Gasket outside diameter = Groov outside diameter less 1/16 in. (1.6mm)
Non confined gaskets: •Gasket inside diameter = Flange inside diameter plus 1/8 in. (3.2mm)
•Gasket outside diameter = Bolt circle diameter less bolt diameter.
