Can Pikotek VCS flange insulation gaskets (raised face) be used on both raised face and RTJ flanges?

The answer is yes. The VCS (Very Critical Service) gasket has a corrosion resistant core of stainless steel (316). The core has a high density composite reinforced material permanently laminated to the core. Together, this provides the structural backbone for additional sealing elements (Teflon-spring energized or Viton) and provides the structural strength and integrity found in conventional RTJ rings. See our Pikotek section to learn more.
