PGE Technical Specifications


SOLUTIONS ENGINEERED
PGE Gasket Specifications
Description:
The Pikotek PGE is a non-critical service gasket designed for electrical flange isolation and/or general sealing applications: This gasket is suitable for use in raised-face flanges up to ANSI class 600 (or equivalent) and is excellent for isolating flanges made of dissimilar metals or where prevention of flange face corrosion is desired. The design of the Pikotek PGE gasket incorporated patented overlapping and offsetting seal grooves. The purpose of this desig is to break each layer of laminate within the gasket itself thereby creating a barrier through which fluid and/or gas cannot migrate. The sealing element can be any elastomeric material as well as more sophisticated Spring-Energized Teflon lip seals. As a result of this advanced gasket design, maintenance free flange isolation and flange face corrosion mitigation are achieved economically. The PGE retainer is constructed of very rigid Glass-Reinforced Epoxy (GRE) laminates, which exhibit excellent dielectric strength, high compressive strength and superior sealing characteristics. When ordering a complete PGE insulating kit, the following must be specified: 1) Flange Specification (ANSI/ASME, API, MSS, BSI or DIN standard) 2) Size Pressure Rating (ANSI class 600 maximum). 3) Operating Pressure, Temperature and Media 4) Required Seal Material 5) Insulating Sleeve Material 6) Insulating Washer Material 7) Metal Washer Material

Gasket Thickness
All PGE gaskets area standard 1/8 (.125) thick.

Gasket Seal Retainer Options


1) G-10 NEMA grade G-10 Glass-Reinforced (GRE) Epoxy laminate: STANDARD
Compressive Strength: Dielectric Strength: Max. Continuous Operating Temp: Water Absorption: Flexural Strength: Tensile Strength: 65,000 PSI 750-800 VPM 300 F (150 C) .05% 65,000 PSI 50,000 PSI

2) G-11 NEMA grade G-11 Glass-Reinforced Epoxy (GRE) High Temp. laminate material:
Compressive Strength: Dielectric Strength: Max Continuous Operating Temp: Water Absorption: Flexural Strength: Tensile Strength: 50,000 PSI 500 VPM 398 F (200 C) .085% 57,700 PSI 41,000 PSI

Seal Material
The sealing elements are intended to provide an impervious barrier through which no maintained media or other substance can penetrate. Consequently, the composite retainer backing material behind the seal remains uncontaminated and thus permanently holds the seal in place in a static, fully encapsulated manner.

Seal Material Options


1) Teflon (Spring-Energized) STANDARD
Recommended for all environments. Helical wound spring provides radial load. Encapsulation in the seal groove eliminates creep or cold flow. This sealing system truly distinguishes Pikotek gaskets from all other flange sealing systems. Teflon is the most reliable sealing element. Temperature Range: -250 F to +392 F (note: gasket material is limiting factor)

General-purpose oilfield elastomer. Excellent resistance to aliphatic hydrocarbons and glycols. Good resistance to aromatic hydrocarbons. Not recommended for: Systems with amine inhibitors and in piping systems containing significant partial pressures of H2S, polar gases (i.e., CO2) or where radical pressure drops (2000 PSI to 0 PSI) commonly occur. Temperature Range: -15 F to +392 F

2) Viton

General Purpose elastomer. Excellent for use in water systems for with some aliphatic hydrocarbons, silicone base fluids and glycol based systems. Not recommended for: Systems containing H2S, aromatic hydrocarbons, phosphate esters or halogenated hydrocarbons; piping systems subjected to radical pressure drops (2000 PSI to 0 PSI) or piping systems containing significant partial pressures of polar gases (i.e., CO2). Temperature Range: -30 F to +250 F

3) Nitrile

Isolating Sleeve Options


1) GRE STANDARD
GRE (Glass-Reinforced Epoxy) tubing is suitable for continuous exposure to 350 F. This material is an epoxy laminate that offers excellent resistance to crushing, cracking, breaking and thread pinch.

2 Mylar
Spiral wound Mylar is a general-purpose material recommended for bolting applications with flange temperatures below 250 F. This material has generally fair resistance to crushing, cracking, breaking and thread pinch.

3) NOMEX
Nomex is a high temperature sleeve material manufactured from solid organic polymer and is suitable for temperatures up to 425 degree F.

Isolating Washers
1) GRE G10/G3/G11
1/8 (.125) thick Glass Reinforced Epoxy washers

STANDARD

Steel Washer Options


1) (HCS) Hardened Carbon Steel. 2) ZPS
Zinc-Plated Steel washers

STANDARD

3) SS
Stainless Steel washers
