Durlon® iGuard™ 8500
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™ 8500: The iGuard™ 8500 style isolation gasket is manufactured from 3mm (1/8”) thick genuine Durlon® 8500 aramid fiber gasket material to improve sealability in steam environments to 287°C (548°F). This design makes the iGuard™ 8500 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™ 8500 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® 8400, Durlon® 8500 or even Durlon® 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.
