A manway lid gasket is an annular gasket that has top and bottom surfaces between the inside diameter and outside diameter of the gasket. Each of the top and bottom surfaces includes a concave, circumferential groove therein. Additionally, the gasket has a radial cut out that extends from the outside diameter face partway through the radial width of the gasket and has an annular corrugated metal insert positioned therein.

A manway lid sealing system comprising: a bulk shipping container having a manway collar and a manway lid, with a manway lid gasket disposed between the manway lid and the manway collar;wherein the manway collar has a circular top surface that defines a manway opening and the manway lid has a man
1. A manway lid sealing system comprising: a bulk shipping container having a manway collar and a manway lid, with a manway lid gasket disposed between the manway lid and the manway collar;wherein the manway collar has a circular top surface that defines a manway opening and the manway lid has a manway lid groove proximate an outside diameter of the manway lid, and the manway lid groove is adapted to receive the top surface of the manway collar wherein the top surface of the manway collar has a collar width, the manway lid gasket is adapted to be positioned in the manway lid groove and wherein the manway lid groove is under and on at least a part of two sides of the manway lid gasket,the manway lid gasket comprising:an annular gasket having a radial width defined by the difference between an inside diameter and an outside diameter of the gasket and a height;wherein the gasket has a top surface and a bottom surfaces with a distance therebetween defining a height of the gasket, and the gasket has an inside diameter face and an outside diameter face; andwherein the top surface and the bottom surface each comprises a concave, circumferential groove therein and the concave circumferential groove has a cross-sectional width that is greater than the manway collar width, whereby the groove is adapted to receive the top surface of the manway collar when the manway lid is closed on the manway collar;further wherein the inside diameter face of the manway lid gasket is solid, and the outside diameter face has a radial cut out therein that extends only part way into and through the radial width of the gasket; andan annular corrugated metal insert is positioned in the radial cut out, and the radial cut out is open to the outside diameter face;and further wherein the gasket is monolithic except for the insert. 2. The manway lid gasket as described in claim 1, wherein the concave, circumferential grooves of the manway lid gasket are V-shaped grooves. 3. The manway lid gasket as described in claim 2, wherein each V-shape of each V-shaped groove is generally symmetrical in cross-section. 4. The manway lid gasket as described in claim 1, wherein the concave, circumferential grooves of the manway lid gasket are U-shaped grooves. 5. The manway lid gasket as described in claim 4, wherein each U-shape of each U-shaped groove is generally symmetrical in cross-section. 6. The manway lid gasket as described in claim 1, wherein the radial cut out of the manway lid gasket is positioned at approximately a middle of the height of the gasket. 7. The manway lid gasket as described in claim 1, wherein the radial cut out of the manway lid gasket extends from the outside diameter face inwardly to at least about 50% of the radial width of the gasket. 8. The manway lid gasket as described in claim 1, wherein the metal insert has at least two corrugations in its cross-section. 9. The manway lid gasket as described in claim 1, wherein the gasket is comprised of a material selected from the group consisting of virgin or mechanical grade PTFE, expanded PTFE, porous PTFE, filled PTFE, elastomers, graphite, carbon, and ceramic, and combinations of these materials. 10. The manway lid gasket as described in claim 1, wherein the gasket is comprised of virgin or mechanical grade PTFE. 11. A manway lid sealing system comprising: a bulk shipping container having a manway collar and a manway lid, with a manway lid gasket disposed between the manway lid and the manway collar;wherein the manway collar has a circular top surface that defines a manway opening and the manway lid has a manway lid groove proximate an outside diameter of the manway lid, and the manway lid groove is adapted to receive the top surface of the manway collar wherein the top surface of the manway collar has a collar width, the manway lid gasket is adapted to be positioned in the manway lid groove and wherein the manway lid groove is under and on at least a part of two sides of the manway lid gasket,the manway lid gasket comprising:an annular gasket having a radial width defined by the difference between an inside diameter and an outside diameter of the gasket and a height;wherein the gasket has a top surface and a bottom surfaces with a distance therebetween defining a height of the gasket, and the gasket has an inside diameter face and an outside diameter face; andwherein the top surface comprises a concave, circumferential groove therein and the concave circumferential groove has a cross-sectional width that is greater than the manway collar width, whereby the groove is adapted to receive the top surface of the manway collar when the manway lid is closed on the manway collar;further wherein the inside diameter face of the manway lid gasket is solid, and the outside diameter face has a radial cut out therein that extends only part way into and through the radial width of the gasket; andan annular corrugated metal insert is positioned in the radial cut out, and the radial cut out is open to the outside diameter face;and further wherein the gasket is monolithic except for the insert.
