THE BAKER*GASKET
FOR HF ACID & OTHER HAZARDOUS CHEMICAL APPLICATIONS
Problem
A leak occurs on HF service
• HF can attack the bolts causing bolt failure.
• A small emission goes undetected.
Solution
• Prevents HF attacking the bolts.
• Early detection of small leaks.
• Containment of HF emissions.
• Improves maintenance (detect & repair).
• Requires no modification to the flanges.
• Designed to suit Class 150 & 300 flanges.
• Contains no respirable fibers.
What are the benefits?
The Baker gasket offers the user the reliability of
a spiral wound gasket with the additional back-up
of an emissions containment system should a
leak occur.Reduced maintenance costs through
an improved ‘Detect & Repair’ program.
Improvements in plant operators Health & Safety
profile.
Any HF emissions are focused to the
tagged area where a reaction with the detector paint
can be easily observed. This concept has
been successfully field tested.
A PTFE ring is attached to the
external guide ring. Any emissions will be
confined within the flange arrangement.
