Metal/Spiral Wound Gaskets
Metal/Spiral wound gaskets are a type of industrial gaskets designed for sealing purposes in high-temperature and high-pressure applications, particularly in pipelines and flange connections. These gaskets are known for their durability, reliability, and ability to withstand extreme conditions.
The construction of Metal/Spiral wound gaskets features a metallic outer ring and a spiral wound filler, making them highly versatile with excellent resistance to high temperatures and pressures. Their sealing mechanism relies on the spiral wound design, complemented by inner and outer rings, which ensures a reliable seal. The choice of fillers enhances their chemical compatibility, making them suitable for various applications, particularly in flange connections and industrial settings. These gaskets come in standard sizes and comply with industry standards, and proper alignment during installation is crucial for optimal performance.
Metal/Spiral wound gaskets are favored in demanding industrial environments where reliable and durable sealing is essential. The versatility of a spiral wound gasket is attributed to its inherently resilient sealing element which is crafted by spirally winding a preformed metallic strip and filler material around the periphery of a metal mandrel. The specific choice of materials and design may vary based on the application's requirements.
