Spiral Wound Gaskets: |
|
|
Spiral wound gaskets — made with an
alternating combination of formed metal wire and soft filler
materials — form a very effective seal when compressed between
two flanges. A v-shaped crown centered in the metal strip acts
as a spring, giving gaskets greater resiliency under varying
conditions. Filler and wire material can be changed to
accommodate different chemical compatibility requirements. If
the load available to compress a gasket is limited, gasket
construction and dimensions can be altered to provide an
effective seal. |
|
|
|
|
|
A spiral wound gasket may include a centering
ring, an inner ring or both. The outer centering ring centers
the gasket within the flange and acts as a compression limiter,
while the inner ring provides additional radial strength. Th
inner ring also reduces flange erosion and protects the sealing
element. |
|
|
|
|
|
Resiliency and strength make spiral
wound gaskets and ideal choice under a variety of conditions and
applications. Widely used throughout refineries and chemical
processing plants, spiral wound gaskets are also effective for
power generation, aerospace, and a variety of valve and
specialty applications. |

Features of Spiral Wound Gaskets: |
|
|
Durable and easy to install |
|
|
|
|
|
Seals pressures to 3000 psi. |
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
Guide ring simplifies centering of sealing element on the
flange face and prevents blow-outs. |
|
|
|
|
|
Custom tailored solutions accommodate a variety of conditions
by combining various metals and filler materials. |

|
Heat Exchanger Gaskets: |
|
|
A great many styles of heat exchanger and
metal clad gaskets are available. Among the most requested
styles are double jacketed gaskets, corrugated gaskets, solid
style gaskets and Energized Metallic Seal gaskets. The EMS
gasket combines the protective covering of a metal jacket with
the strength and resilience of a spiral wound gasket.
All spiral windings are available with or without partitions
that are welded to the winding. Spiral windings also are
available with inner and outer rings with welded partitions. |
|
|
|
|
|
Jacketed Gaskets: |
|
|
A great many styles of jacketed gaskets are
available. Among the most requested are the single jacketed, the
double jacketed, the single jacketed overlap, the double
jacketed corrugated, and the double jacketed corrugated with
corrugated metal filler. |
|
|
|
|
|
Single Jacketed |
|
|
Generally used where the radial dimensions of
the equipment sealing surfaces only allow space for a narrow
width seal. Single jacketed gaskets are constructed by encasing
the soft filler material on one face and both edges. |
|
|
|
|
|
Double Jacketed |
|
|
The double jacketed gasket has good
compressibility and resilience and is the most popular clad
gasket manufactured. |
|
|
|
|
|
Single Jacketed Overlap |
|
|
Construction of this gasket offers more
filler protection than the standard single jacketed design. It
is especially useful for applications where the radial
dimensions do not allow space for a double jacketed gasket. |
|
|
|
|
|
Double Jacketed Corrugated |
|
|
This gasket employs a corrugated jacket to
increase resilience. It is suited for circular and non-circular
applications in widths of 3/8" and wider. If slight leakage
should occur across the primary seal at the inner edge of the
gasket, the concentric corrugations act as labyrinth seals. |
|
|
|
|
|
Double Jacketed Corrugated with Corrugated Metal Filler |
|
|
This unique multi-ply construction provides a
more resilient gasket that adapts well to temperature and
pressure cycling problems. The temperature limits of this gasket
are governed only by the metal selected. |
