BS EN 1591-2:2008 Flanges and their joints. Design rules for gasketed circular flange connections. Gasket parameters
BS EN 1591-2 details generic gasket parameters for use in BS EN 1591-1 during preliminary calculations during which the type of gasket to be used in an application is to be decided. Once the gasket type has been decided the parameters for gaskets of that type from the different potential commercial suppliers should be used in further calculations as within a gasket type there will be differences depending upon the supplier.
