Overview
This 4-inch D-ring spiral wound gasket is engineered for reliable sealing in high-pressure, high-temperature industrial piping systems. It is specifically designed for PN16 flange connections, indicating a pressure rating of approximately 232 PSI. The gasket's robust construction utilizes corrosion-resistant 316L stainless steel for both the winding metal and the inner and outer containment rings, with a flexible graphite filler. This combination delivers a superior seal that accommodates flange rotation and surface irregularities, making it a critical component for preventing leaks in demanding process environments.
Key Features
Engineered for PN16 pressure class service, approximately 232 PSI Constructed entirely from 316L stainless steel for excellent corrosion resistance Features both inner and outer D-shaped containment rings for added stability The inner ring prevents filler extrusion into the pipeline The outer ring centers the gasket and improves bolt load distribution Flexible graphite filler provides a tight seal and accommodates thermal cycling Manufactured to meet recognized industry standards for dimensional consistency and material quality Suitable for a wide range of temperatures and aggressive media
