What is BS EN 12560-3- Non-metallic PTFE envelope gaskets about?
BS EN 12560 is a European standard on flanges and their joints that discusses gaskets for class-designated flanges. BS EN 12560-3 is the third part of a multi-part series that specifies the dimensions and marking of IBC (inside bolt circle) non-metallic PTFE envelope gaskets for use with flanges complying with prEN 1759-1:2000, prEN 1759-3:1994 and prEN 1759-4:1997 for Class 150 and Class 300 for nominal sizes DN 15 and DN 600 to manufacture gaskets of acceptable standards.
Who is BS EN 12560-3- Non-metallic PTFE envelope gaskets for?
BS EN 12560-3 on non-metallic PTFE envelope gaskets is relevant to:
- Non-metallic PTFE envelope gasket manufacturers
- Flanges manufacturers
- Petrochemical industries
- Rubber industry
Why should you use BS EN 12560-3- Non-metallic PTFE envelope gaskets?
A PTFE envelope gasket is a composite gasket where the product consists of an envelope of PTFE with an insert material.  The main advantage of envelope gaskets is that it gives the strength and characteristics of the core material along with the properties of PTFE.  The envelope gasket is mainly applied as a flange gasket in applications where a high chemical and high-pressure resistance is required.
BS EN 12560-3 provides you with a range of Class designations, a range of gasket sizes, and information to be supplied by the purchaser. BS EN 12560-3 also provides gasket designs and materials and gasket types.
This assists in manufacturing efficient non-metallic PTFE envelope gaskets that are durable and of high quality.
BS EN 12560-3 provides you with appropriate dimensions and tolerances of non-metallic PTFE envelope gaskets that prevent wastage due to manufacturing gaskets of incorrect size and save time and effort.
With compliance to BS EN 12560-3, you can enhance the efficacy of non-metallic PTFE envelope gaskets for use with class designated flanges and manufacture a standardized product that has global acceptance in the market.
