RE: [MW:16902] FLAT FACE FLANGE PAINTING

Hi,

It is always good practice to slightly paint the clamped area of flange face only with a red oxide paint to maximum DFT of 40 microns (with gramophone finish still visible) as to prevent corrosion of this clamped area while waiting to be installed.

Regards,
G. Oegema

What is the test pressure ?

Better to remove the paint completely and You can use either neoprene or PTFE gaskets.
