ASME B16.20-2017 (Revision of ASME B16.20-2012) Metallic Gaskets for Pipe Flanges AN AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARD Chey Ca) CT Way]PART GM GROOVED METAL GASKETS WITH COVERING LAYERS GM-1 SIZE AND CLASS Grooved metal gaskets with covering layers having a centeringringare identified by flange size (NPS), pressure class, and the appropriate lange standard (ASME B16.5 or ASME B16.47), GM-2 DIMENSIONS AND TOLERANCES GM-2.1 General Dimensions and tolerances for grooved metal gaskets ‘with covering layers and centering rings shall be as speci- fied in this Part and in accordance with Figure GM-2.1-1 and Tables GM-2.1+1 through GM-2.1-3, GM-2.2 Constru Grooved metal gaskets with covering layers shall be seu wiring. The grooved ‘metal portion of the finished gasket shall be faced with a covering layer on both sealing surfaces that is 0.46 ‘mm to 0.56 mm (0.018 in.to 0.022 in) thick. The thickness ofthe metal core ofthe gasket shall be 2,97 mm to3.33 mm (0.117 in, to 0.131 in.) The thickness on any single gasket 0.13 mm (0.005 in} GM-2.3 Welding Welding is permitted only in NPS 14 and larger gaskets. Welding shall be subject to the following (a) Full penetration welds shall be used. (®) Where only two welds are used, the minimum weld spacing shall be 152 mm (6 in.). Where more than two welds are required, minimum weld spacing shall be 609 mm (24 in.). Weld spacing shall be measured along the inside circumference of the metal core. When ‘material availability precludes this weld spacing, then additional welding, as agreed by the purchaser and manu- facturer, is permitted (@) The grooves shall be machined into the core after welding (a) in welded areas, the groove, peak profile, and base ‘metal shall be uniform in spacing, thickness, and height with the adjacent metal core, 39 (@) When specified by the purchaser, weld inspection ‘methods, such as ultrasonic or radiographic, along with acceptance criteria shall be established. GM-2.4 Centering Ring A centering ring is required and used to help position the gasket within the flange bolt cicle, Unless otherwise specified by the purchaser, the centering ring shall have a nominal thickness of 1.6 mm (0.06 in.) and shall be suitably attached to the grooved metal core using an inte- gral (one-piece or welded) or nonintegral attachment method. The thickness of the centering ring shall not exceed the thickness of the core, GM-3 MATERIALS GM-3.1 Covering Covering material shall be selected from Table GM-3.1- M-3.2 Core Core material shall be selected from Table GM-3.1-1 GM-3.3 Centering Ring When carbon steel centering rings are selected, they shall be painted, metal plated, or otherwise coated to inhibit atmospheric corrosion, GM-4 MARKING GM-4.1 General The centering ring shall be permanently marked, The lettering height shall be a minimum of 2.5 mm (0.1 in.), except where space requirements dictate use of smaller size character, The following information shall be included: (@) manufacturer's name or trademark, (b) flange size (NPS), (©) pressure class. (@) metal core abbreviation (Table GM-3.1-1), except that the abbreviation may be omitted when Type 304 stainless steel is used.

The color identifying the facing material for NPS 3 and larger shall have a minimum of four stripes equally spaced on the outer edge of the centering ring, Smaller size gaskets shall have a minimum of two stripes 180 deg apart. The colors shall conform to those listed in Table GM-3.1-1, Special material not listed in Table GM-3.1-1 shall not be color coded.
