Abstract
A flanged joint is described. The flanged joint has a first flange member with a first sealing surface and a second flange member with a second sealing surface. The flanged joint further has a hollow-metal gasket between the first flange member and the second flange member, and a spacer between the first flange member and the second flange member. The spacer defines a minimum distance between the first flange member and the second flange member. The flanged joint can be configured to seal a metal-conveying volume.
