Overview
The 316 Stainless Steel Spiral Wound Gasket is a precision-engineered sealing solution designed for high-integrity flanged connections in demanding industrial piping systems. Its construction combines the strength of corrosion-resistant metal with the conformability of a resilient filler, creating a robust seal capable of withstanding significant pressure, temperature fluctuations, and mechanical stress. This gasket is manufactured to align with common industry dimensional and material specifications, ensuring reliable performance and interchangeability in standardized applications.
Key Features
Constructed with a winding of 316 stainless steel for superior corrosion resistance Features a high-purity graphite filler for excellent thermal conductivity and seal resilience Engineered to handle high-pressure applications common in process industries Spiral wound design allows for controlled compression and recovery during bolt-up Provides a reliable seal against a wide spectrum of industrial media, including oils, gases, and many chemicals
