SERVICE: FLEXICARB RGS 3 is recommended for applications involving high sealing stresses and where high blowout resistance is required. The inclusion of the steel reinforced layer gives rise to a robust sheet. RGS 3 can be used to seal a wide range of media, with the exception of strong oxidizing agents, at extremes of temperature and pressure. Typical industries where RGS 3 is used include power generation and petrochemical. Maximum recommended temperature : Oxidising media 370OC (700OF) Inert or reducing media 700oC (1830oF) Maximum recommended pressure : 20 MPa (200 bar; 2900 psi) Note : For applications sealing inert or reducing media, at temperatures in excess of 370OC, attention must be given to the possibility of oxidative attack on the gasket from the external environment. Use with strong oxidising agents should be avoided. For long term continuous use in oxidising environments at temperatures in excess of 370OC please consult Flexitallic Applications Engineering Department.
