Graphite Gaskets--Graphite gaskets are high-performance sealing solutions known for their exceptional reliability in demanding conditions. They are manufactured from high-purity flexible graphite, which provides a unique combination of properties.
Excellent Thermal Stability: They can withstand extreme temperatures, ranging from cryogenic levels to 3000°F (1650°C) in non-oxidizing atmospheres, without degradation.
Superior Chemical Resistance: Highly resistant to a wide range of acids, alkalis, and solvents.
Outstanding Sealability: The soft, pliable graphite conforms easily to flange surfaces, creating a tight seal that is effective at low flange pressures.
Inherent Self-Lubrication: This property allows for easy installation and removal.
Flexibility and Resilience: They maintain their seal under thermal cycling and vibration.
Spiral Wound Gaskets--Spiral wound gaskets are a robust sealing solution designed for the most challenging applications. They are constructed by spirally winding a pre-formed metal strip and a soft filler material, typically graphite or PTFE, into a V-shaped cross-section.
Excellent Resilience: The unique coiled structure acts like a spring, allowing the gasket to maintain a tight seal under vibration, thermal cycling, and varying pressures.
Suitable for High-Pressure & High-Temperature: They perform reliably in extreme service conditions where many other gaskets would fail.
Wide Chemical Compatibility: By selecting different metals (e.g., 304/316 SS, Inconel) and filler combinations, they can be tailored to resist a broad spectrum of media.
Proven Reliability: This design is the industry standard for critical flanged connections in sectors like oil & gas, petrochemical, and power generation.
