Overview
This industrial-grade spiral wound gasket is engineered for critical sealing applications in high-pressure and high-temperature piping systems. Designed to conform to the rigorous ASME B16.20-2007 standard, it ensures reliable performance in demanding industrial environments. The gasket features a robust construction with a 316L stainless steel outer ring and a wound core of 316L stainless steel and graphite filler, delivering superior chemical resistance and thermal stability. It is specifically rated for a 5-inch nominal pipe size (NPS) flange connection at a 900LB pressure class. This product is intended for industrial use only and is not suitable for painting.
Key Features
Engineered to ASME B16.20-2007 standards for guaranteed dimensional accuracy and performance 900LB pressure class rating for high-pressure sealing applications Constructed with a 316L stainless steel outer centering ring for precise alignment and mechanical protection Wound core combines 316L stainless steel for strength with flexible graphite for an effective seal Provides excellent resistance to a wide range of chemicals, solvents, and corrosive media Maintains seal integrity across a broad temperature range due to graphite's thermal stability Outer ring prevents gasket blow-out and over-compression during flange bolt-up
