Free sample question from ASME PCC-2
Per ASME PCC-2, how is a spiral wound gasket fitted with a centering ring classified for hot and half bolting purposes?
- A. As unconfined
- B. As a soft gasket, because the windings compress more than one millimetre during assembly
- C. As a hard faced gasket, because the winding metal contacts the flange seating surface directly
- D. As a special gasket, requiring separate consideration in the job specific procedure prepared
- E. As a confined gasket ✓
Confinement matters because it governs blowout potential when the joint is partly unloaded. The centering ring physically restrains the sealing element from being expelled. ASME PCC-2, Article 311, 311-3.1
