Flange Sealing Without Gaskets
Hi all, our plant wanted to use a flanged bellow on the dry air duct which operates at a pressure with a very slight vaccum (+/- 0,5 kPag). The manufacturer of the bellow is telling me that for that specific type of bellows, they do not require a gasket to achieve sealing because the medium is dry a
