Specification summary of ASME B16.20 as applied to spiral-wound metal gasket: the dimensions the standard fixes, the full size range supplied, and the related designations commonly cross-referenced.
ASME B16.20 — Scope
ASME B16.20 specifies the dimensional requirements for spiral-wound metal gasket — gb/t 4622 / asme b16.20 (series 090). Material, surface condition and any performance rating are set by separate documents specific to this part family — ISO 898-1 and ISO 898-2, which govern bolt and nut property classes, do not apply here.
Tolerance & Product Grades
Tolerances for spiral-wound metal gasket — gb/t 4622 / asme b16.20 (series 090) are given as limits on the individual dimensions in the table rather than as a fastener product grade. Where a general-tolerance class is cited on the drawing instead, it applies to the dimensions not otherwise toleranced.
Dimensions Specified by ASME B16.20

Equivalent Standards
Where direct equivalents exist (ISO ↔ DIN, ISO ↔ ASME), they are listed on the parent Spiral-Wound Metal Gasket — GB/T 4622 / ASME B16.20 (Series 090) page. Always confirm against the dimensions on this page, since some "equivalent" standards differ in tolerances and head geometry.
Companion Standards
ASME B16.20 controls only the geometry of spiral-wound metal gasket — gb/t 4622 / asme b16.20 (series 090). Surface finish is governed by separate finish standards (for example ISO 4042 for electroplating), and corrosion testing by ISO 9227 (neutral salt spray). Mechanical performance is set by the standards specific to this part family, not by ISO 898-1 or ISO 898-2, which apply to bolts, screws and nuts.
