While working on a custom design table for CG style gaskets,etc this weekend I had the opportunity to review the layout andconstruction of the design table for weld neck flanges included inSW2009. I found that the hub (Raised Face dia) diameters do notmatch with ASME B16.5 specs.
Typical example.
For 3" CL150 RFWN the RF Diameter should be 5.0 inch. The designtable shows it as 4.25 dia. The sealing element (spiral wound)portion of the gasket has a OD of 4 3/4" and ID of 4.0 in. Not veryclose at all when you need a sealing surface!
This isn't a huge deal. I will correct the design table in our copyof SW2009SP0 and make it available for all when done. Will uploadto 3DCC as well.
I will also have a full design table for CG Style 'Flexitallic'gaskets soon too.
Forgings like LWN, HB, V1, V2, V3 will be coming shortly too.
