Durlon® iGuard™ 8400
Durlon® iGuard™ flange Isolation and sealing systems consist of all the necessary components to seal and electrically isolate between flanges, from general service to severe service applications. Gaskets are available in Raised Face (Type F), Full Face (Type E) and RTJ (Type D) flanges from NPS 1/2” (DN15) to NPS 144” (DN 3600) or equivalent, to meet all international piping sizes.
iGuard™ 8400: The iGuard™ 8400 style isolation gasket is manufactured from 3mm (1/8”) thick genuine Durlon® 8400 phenolic fiber gasket material to improve sealability in critical service chemical environments from pH 2-13 and other aggressive media to 290°C (554°F). This design makes the iGuard™ 8400 ideal for ANSI Class 150 and 300 and comes in sizes from NPS 1/2” (DN 25) to NPS 96” (DN 2400) or international equivalents in Type E (Full Face) or Type F (Raised Face) configurations. These kits come standard with one iGuard™ 8400 gasket, two isolating Nema grade G-10 washers, two SAE zinc plated steel backup washers, and one Nema grade G-10 sleeve tube for every bolt/stud. Maximum pressure class – 300#ANSI.

The standard iGuard™ kit consists of a gasket, isolating washers and isolating bolt/stud sleeves. The gasket/carrier can be constructed of plain phenolic, neoface phenolic, epoxy glass (G-3, G-10 or G-11), epoxy glass (G-10) bonded to 316SS core, Durlon® 7910, 8400, 8500 or 9000. In gaskets with phenolic or glass carrier rings, the double-ogre sealing element provides a reliable concentrated unit load on the flanges using the lowest torquing conditions possible. For other styles, a spring energized PTFE sealing element is used.
