Internal correspondence from Union Carbide Chemicals Company to the Brownsville Plant reporting the examination of four stainless steel spiral wound asbestos gaskets (Flexitallic) from the H Gas unit. Three gaskets with 304 stainless spirals had failed in service at about 500°C, and the memo attributes the corrosion to decomposition of the asbestos packing and its organic filler, assumed to be Canadian asbestos.
