Maintaining pipeline integrity and keeping emissions in check has never been more important.
The GPT Evolution gasket is improved with a tougher coating and sleek design without a handle. GPT laser etches directly onto this coating; the coating thickness has been doubled to avoid the risk of holidays.
The Evolution® is a fully-encapsulated isolation gasket that delivers the impermeable performance needed to prepare any flange for the increasing risks found in today’s oil and gas industry. The thinner, 1/8” (3mm) design minimizes the difficulties often encountered while attempting to install thicker isolating gaskets. Total encapsulation allows the gasket to be hydro-tested and kept in the pipeline with virtually no loss in isolation properties. No more permeation issues or chemical attacks that plagues GRE gaskets. This innovative gasket is coated using a GPT proprietary material designed specifically for the oil and gas industry that is extremely abrasion and impact resistant.
The new look Evolution gaskets have the revolutionary materials and design providing industry-leading resistance to leakage and flange corrosion, as well as unprecedented levels of fire safety and isolation.
GPT will supply a tag with the size/class/schedule/product style with lot # and part # with each gasket. A “zip tie” is included to connect the tag to the sleeve or flange nut. The external ability to identify the type, size and class of gasket contained within the flange is popular. GPT will continue this benefit with the handle free version of Evolution.
