GASKETS

1. Spiral Wound Gaskets

 

  • The optimum filler denisty is constant and Tested across the windings for consistent compression and superior sealability

  • Durable; easy installation and removal

  • Seals pressures to flange ratings, in accordance with ASME B16.5

  • Suited to temperatures from cryogenic to 2000°F (1093°C), depending on metal and filler.

  • Guide ring simplifies centering of sealing element on the flange face

  • Custom-tailored solutions accommodate a variety of conditions by combining various metals and filler materials

 

 

STYLE CR ( Without inner Ring ) : 

 

  • General purpose gasket suitable for raised face flanges up to Class 2500

  • Centering ring accurately locates the gasket on the flange face, provides additional radial strength, and acts as a compression limiter

  • Spiral winding (sealing element) consists of preformed metal and soft filler material

     

 

STYLE CRI ( inner Ring ) : 

 

  • Suitable for raised face flanges up to class 2500# flanges

  • Inners rings are recommended by ASME B16.20 unless otherwise specified

  • Inner ring acts as compression limiter and protects sealing elements from process media attack

 

2. RING JOINT GASKETS

 

  • Centering ring accurately locates the gasket on the flange face, provides additional radial strength, and acts as a compression limiter

  • Spiral winding (sealing element) consists of preformed metal and soft filler material 

  • Inner ring (RWI-RJ) acts as compression limiter and protects sealing elements from process media attack

  • Ideal replacement for solid metal oval or octagonal API ring joint gaskets

  • Saves cost of flange replacement when gasket groove is badly worn

  • Fast and easy installation-requires only a 3/16" flange separation (ring joint gasket may require as much as 3/4")

  • Wide variety of metal and filler materials have a full range of temperature and pressure capabilities

  • The optimum filler denisty is constant and Tested across the windings for consistent compression and superior sealability

  • Not stocked, but can be special-ordered

 

 

3. Kammprofile Gasket

 

Serrated solid metal core

 

  • Serrations concentrate bolt load on small area for tight seal at lower stress

  • Solid metal core resists cold flow, overcompression and blowout

  • Rigid core provides exceptional stability, even in large sizes, and facititates handling and installation

 

Soft, deformable sealing material

 

  • Under compression, fills seating surface imperfections to form a tight, metal-to-metal connection

  • Seals under low stress-ideal for weaker flanges

  • Withstands extreme fluctuations in temperatures and pressures

  • Optional convex root core compensates for flange weakness and counteracts flange rotation

  • Integral centering ring ensures optimum gasket positioning

  • Floating centering ring attached outside sealing area compensates for expansion and contraction during thermal cycling

     

APPLICATIONS :

 

  • Accommodates standard ASME flanges as well as weaker and non-circular flanges

  • Economical replacement for jacketed heat exchanger gaskets

  • Seals less-than-perfect flanges

  • Handles pressures from vacuum to Class 2500

4. Rubber Expansion Joints

 

Expansion joints are  specially engineered products inserted in a rigid piping system to achieve one or more of the following:

 

  • Absorb movement

  • Improved thermal stability

  • Relieve system strain due to thermal change, load stress, pumping surges, wear or settling

  • Reduce mechanical noise

  • Compensate for misalignment

  • Eliminate electrolysis between dissimilar metals

 

Non-metallic expansion joints and flexible couplings are ideally suited for hundreds of applications in a wide range of industries, including:

 

  • Power Generation

  • Pulp and Paper

  • Chemical Processing

  • Water/Waste Water

  • Marine

  • Mining

 

Ordering Information

When ordering specify:

  • Inner ring and winding dimensions (and tolerance, if other than standard)

  • Thickness of gasket

  • Winding and filler materials

  • Inner ring material

  • Pressure rating
