Over time, and for any number of reasons, flanges are prone to surface deviations. Damaged areas will tend to create a leak path that the gasket must try to seal.
Flange damage most commonly occurs when removing previously used gasket material from the sealing surface - tools such as chisels, or screw drivers, should be avoided. A brass wire brush is suggested.
The video below proves how well GORE® Gasket Tape Series 500 works on flanges with surface deviations versus a standard filled PTFE gasket.

GORE® Universal Pipe Gasket (Style 800) provides a reliable seal for steel, glass-lined steel and fiber reinforced plastic (FRP) flanges, in the full spectrum of strong acid, alkali, and solvent process media, including the most challenging thermal cycling and elevated temperature applications.
This single gasket solution can reduce the process safety and production downtime risks caused by the use of an incorrect gasket material. Highly conformable 100% ePTFE reliably seals irregular surfaces.
What Makes the GORE Universal Pipe Gasket Unique?- Proprietary, patented technology. GORE Universal Pipe Gasket (Style 800) uniquely combines two patented construction elements, each made of 100% expanded PTFE (ePTFE).
- A non-permeable barrier layer covers the inside diameter and gasket flange faces, creating a tight seal at low gasket stress.
- A conformable-yet-strong interior provides superior resistance
