Spiral Wound gaskets are made of a performed metallic strips and a soft filler material (CAF , Non Asbestos, Graphite, Teflon, Ceramic, ETC) wound together under pressure and passionally with an inner and outer metal guide ring. The metal strip in grooved pattern holds the filler, resulting in excellent mechanical; resistance, re silence and recovery.
|
Spiral wound gaskets are mainly used in high temperature variation (Thermal cycling) and / or pressure variation flange rotation problem etc.
|
Spiral wound gaskets are designed to meet application against educate residual stress retention, flexibility and recover requirements.
