Overview
This 316L Stainless Steel Flange Gasket is engineered for critical sealing in high-pressure and high-temperature piping systems. It utilizes a robust C-shaped metal wound construction, where alternating layers of 316L stainless steel and flexible graphite are wound under tension to create a resilient, self-compensating seal. The inclusion of a solid 316L stainless steel outer ring provides structural integrity, prevents over-compression, and ensures proper alignment during flange assembly. Designed to meet rigorous industry standards, this gasket is suitable for demanding process applications where reliability and corrosion resistance are paramount.
Key Features
Constructed with 316L stainless steel for superior corrosion resistance C-shaped wound metal design with graphite filler for exceptional sealability Solid outer ring prevents gasket blow-out and aids installation Rated for high-pressure applications up to PN160 (approximately 2320 PSI) Graphite filler offers thermal stability and chemical compatibility Precise dimensional conformity for reliable flange fit and performance
