BS EN 1514-6 specifies the construction, dimensions, and marking of covered serrated metal gaskets for use with flanges complying with EN 1092-1 for PN 10, PN 16, PN 25, PN 40, PN 63 and PN 100 up to and including DN 3000.
BS EN 1514-6 does not extend to covered serrated metal-based heat exchanger gaskets with pass bars or large vessel gaskets but, in the lack of a dedicated document for such gaskets, the principles set down can be applied to them.
NOTE 1 Dimensions of other types of gaskets for use with flanges to EN 1092-1, EN 1092-2, EN 1092-3 and EN 1092-4 are given in EN 1514-1, EN 1514-2, EN 1514-3, EN 1514-4, prEN 1514-7 and pr EN 1514-8.
NOTE 2 Annex A lists information that should be supplied by the purchaser when ordering gaskets in circumstances where the choice of the gasket materials appropriate to the service is left to the supplier.
BS EN 1514-6 on covered serrated metal gaskets for use with steel flanges is relevant for:
A serrated Metallic Gasket consists of a metal core, generally stainless steel with concentric grooves on both sides. They are designed for high pressure, high temperature or highly corrosive applications.
BS EN 1514-6 provides you with a range of dimensions, a range of gasket sizes and information to be supplied by the purchaser.
BS EN 1514-6 also provides constructional details like typical construction details, core materials, core welding, facing materials, methods of attachment, and much more.
This assists in manufacturing efficient covered serrated metal gaskets that are durable and of high quality.
BS EN 1514-6 provides you with appropriate dimensions of covered serrated metal gaskets that prevent wastage due to manufacturing gaskets of incorrect size and save time and effort.
With compliance to BS EN 1514-6, you can enhance the efficacy of covered serrated metal gaskets for use with steel flanges and manufacture a standardized product that has global acceptance in the market.
