Overview
This 3-inch spiral wound gasket is engineered for high-pressure, high-temperature sealing applications in industrial piping and flanged connections. Manufactured in strict compliance with ASME B16.20-2007 standards, it provides a reliable, leak-tight seal for critical flanged joints. The gasket features a robust construction with inner and outer retaining rings, making it suitable for demanding service where pressure, temperature fluctuations, and potential gasket blow-out are concerns. It is designed specifically for indoor use in controlled environments.
Key Features
Manufactured to ASME B16.20-2007 standards for guaranteed dimensional accuracy and performance. Constructed with a spiral wound core of 304 stainless steel and graphite filler for excellent resilience and seal. Features inner and outer concentric rings made from 304 stainless steel for enhanced stability and bolt load distribution. The outer ring provides gasket centering and protects the wound element from mechanical damage during installation. The inner ring prevents inward buckling of the gasket and offers added resistance to media erosion. Rated for Class 600 LB pressure applications, suitable for high-pressure systems. Graphite filler offers superior thermal conductivity and performance across a wide temperature range.
