Overview
This 18-inch spiral wound gasket is engineered for high-integrity sealing in demanding industrial piping and pressure vessel applications. Manufactured in strict compliance with the HG/T20610-2009 standard, it is designed to withstand operating pressures up to 580 PSI. The gasket's robust construction utilizes alternating layers of corrosion-resistant stainless steel and flexible graphite filler, creating a resilient seal that accommodates flange irregularities and thermal cycling. The inclusion of inner and outer reinforcing rings provides critical stability, prevents over-compression, and aids in proper installation alignment, ensuring a reliable, long-term seal in critical service environments.
