Overview
This A-Type metal wound gasket is engineered for sealing flanged connections in demanding industrial piping and vessel applications. It is designed to create a reliable, leak-tight seal in systems experiencing thermal cycling, pressure fluctuations, and mechanical vibration. The construction features a precision-wound carbon steel metal strip combined with a resilient graphite filler, providing a robust seal across a wide range of operating conditions. Suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, this gasket is a standard component for maintenance and assembly in process industries.
Key Features
A-Type configuration with raised inner and outer metal rings for controlled compression and bolt load retention. Carbon steel winding provides structural integrity and mechanical strength. Graphite filler offers excellent thermal conductivity and resilience under thermal cycling. Suitable for a broad temperature range and variable pressure applications. Designed for use in both indoor and outdoor service environments. Pre-formed to standard dimensions for easy installation on 3-inch NPS flanges.
