Internal correspondence reporting the examination of four stainless steel spiral wound Flexitallic gaskets from the H gas unit at the Brownsville plant. Three gaskets had failed, with corroded stainless spirals and brittle asbestos packing. The letter attributes the failure to decomposition of the filler in the Canadian asbestos packing and recommends specifying type 304 stainless steel with blue African asbestos. A third page carries a photograph and a photomicrograph of the failed gasket.
