INERTEX "LTC" and "LTC-NR" Low Torque Gaskets AN INDUSTRY-DESIGNED ANSWER To an Every Day Industry Problem Every Day Real Industry Problems! The Industry and Inertech Solution Design a gasket that seals at torques below piping mfgs. FRP piping mfgs'. recommended maximum torque is too low for a leak-free joint. recommended levels. Gasket materials are too hard and/or do not seal at recommended torque levels. Use a soft compressible material that seals at low loads. When leakage is detected, mechanics frequently torque bolts to stop leakageProvide a leak free gasket in the initial installation that maintains its resulting in broken or cracked flanges. leak free performance for the life of the joint. Field personnel often use the wrong gasket material for the media to be sealed. Provide a gasket with total chemical compatibility. Provide a gasket that eliminates broken flanges and resulting Downtime from replacing flanges is very costly. downtime.
