ASME B16.20
Metallic Gaskets for Pipe Flanges
Covers spiral wound, jacketed and ring joint gaskets: dimensions, materials and the colour coding that identifies winding and filler at a glance. It is the reason a gasket can be identified from its outer edge rather than from a bag it has long since left.
This is an explanation, not the standard. PipingInspector is not affiliated with ASME and reproduces no part of the document. Always work to the current edition of the standard itself and to your project specification.
