Material Construction and Performance

The dual insert alters the gasket's rigidity, blowout resistance, and compression behavior. It is not an automatic direct replacement for a single-insert laminate.

Key Factors to Review Prior to Substitution

Verify the available flange clearance and required bolt loads, particularly when replacing gaskets in steam piping systems.

To evaluate construction differences: KLINGER Graphite Laminate PSM and Garlock GRAPH-LOCK 3128. The specific stainless steel reinforcement type and mechanical bonding method directly impact required seating stress and blowout resistance.
