| Gasket I.O. = Groove I.D. +1/16" |
| Gasket O.D. = Groove O.D. - 1/16" |
Gaskets Confined on O.D. only
| Gasket I.D. = Bore + minimum 1/8" |
| Gasket O.D. = Recess O.D. - 1/16" |
Gaskets Unconfined on O.D. and I.D.
| Gasket I.D. = Bore + minimum 1/8" |
| Gasket O.D. = Up to a maximum of the bolt hole circle diameter minus one bolt hole diameter unless gasket is to be full face, If gasket is to be full face, then the following must be specified: (a) Bolt hole circle diameter (b) Bolt hole diameter (c) Number of bolt holes (d) Desired gasket O.D. |
