Graphite Filler Spiral Wound Gaskets – Enhancing Sealing Efficiency with Stainless Steel Ring

Features and Advantages
Graphite filler spiral wound gaskets with stainless steel rings combine the excellent sealing capabilities of graphite with the structural integrity of stainless steel. The gasket consists of a wound metal strip and a sealing filler positioned in alternate layers. The inner and outer diameters of the spiral wound gasket are reinforced with a stainless steel ring which ensures the gasket's stability, strength, and resistance to deformation. The graphite filler is chosen due to its high compressibility, resilience, and chemical resistance.

1. Enhanced Sealing Performance: The combination of graphite filler and stainless steel ring enhances the gasket's sealing performance, even under the most challenging conditions. The sealing filler provides excellent resistance to high temperatures, extreme pressures, and aggressive media. The stainless steel ring ensures proper alignment, prevents gasket blowout, and increases the overall sealing performance.

2. Versatility: Graphite filler spiral wound gaskets with stainless steel rings are suitable for a wide range of applications in various industries. They are commonly used in oil and gas pipelines, petrochemical plants, chemical processing facilities, power generation plants, and more. These gaskets can handle a broad spectrum of operating conditions, making them a versatile sealing solution.

3. Temperature and Pressure Resistant: The graphite filler spiral wound gaskets with stainless steel rings exhibit remarkable resilience and stability even when exposed to high temperatures and pressures. They can withstand temperatures up to 1000°C (1832°F) and pressures up to 250 bar (3626 psi). This characteristic makes them essential in applications with demanding operating conditions.
