(1) The document discusses the assessment of two dents found on the gasket sealing face of a flange according to the criteria in ASME PCC-1.
(2) The gasket is determined to be a spiral wound type, or "soft-faced" gasket, and the dimensions of the two dents are reported from the inspection report.
(3) Each dent is assessed individually and found to have an actual depth lower than the allowable depth specified in ASME PCC-1, so the flange is deemed acceptable.

Assessment to ASME PCC-1, Appendix D;
Table D-2M, Allowable defect depth vs width across face (metric) Figure D-3, Flange surface damage assessment: Pits and Dents Allowable depth depends on gasket type; hard-faced or soft-faced. The inspection report states that the gasket in place is a spiral wound type, which according to Annex B of ASME PCC-1 is regarded as a soft-faced gasket. From the inspection report; (1) The radial width of the gasket seating face is w=9mm (2) Dent 1 the projected radial distance across the seating surface is rd=2mm, the dent depth is 0.6mm (3) Dent 2 the projected radial distance across the seating surface is rd=4mm, the dent depth is 0.3mm (4) Circumferential separation distance between dent (1) and dent (2) is 40mm The two dents do not interact Dent (1)
rd<w/4 (i.e., 2 < 2.25mm)
Allowable depth is 1.27mm (Table D-2M, ASME PCC-1)
Result: ACCEPTABLE, actual depth (0.6mm) < allowable depth (1.27mm)
Dent (2)
w/4<rd<w/2 (i.e., 2.25 < 4 < 4.5mm)
Allowable depth is 0.76mm (Table D-2M, ASME PCC-1)
Result: ACCEPTABLE, actual depth (0.3mm) < allowable depth (0.76mm)
Conclusion: The flange, with 2 dents on the seating face, is assessed as ACCEPTABLE according to the criteria in ASME PCC-1
