ABSTRACT:
The present invention is an easily mounted and centered gasket particularly suitable for use with raised flange joints and similar applications. The gasket of the present invention employs a unique design to utilize external mounting bolts to assist in holding the gasket in place during initial joint assembly and cut-out exterior edges to allow for accurate final centering of the gasket. Due to its accuracy in mounting position, the gasket of the present invention provides tighter gasket tolerances, and thus cleaner laminar flow, through fluid conduits.
