The flat glass gaskets available may be used for general purposes or volatile environments where high temperatures and high pressure levels are a concern. The flat glass gaskets are built and carefully tested to ensure they withstand potentially hazardous environments without warping or cracking.
These general purpose gaskets are made for most uses and are suitable for most liquids at temperatures below 600 degrees Fahrenheit and pressures under 1,200 PSI. This includes hot water as well as mild acids, alkaline and inert gases.
