Spiral Wound Gasket copes with pressure
A
Flexitallic product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team
Oct 1, 2009
The Flexitallic Spiral Wound Gasket has been designed to meet exacting conditions of both temperature and pressure in flanged joints and similar assemblies.
It has also been designed to be against virtually every known corrosive and toxic media The concept of spiral wound gasket construction was originated by Flexitallic in 1912.
The primary purpose for this development was the increasingly severe temperatures and pressures used by US refinery operators in the first half of the century.
It is important for a gasket to have the ability to recover.
The effects of pressure and temperature fluctuations, temperature differential across the flange face, together with bolt stress relaxation and creep, demand a gasket with adequate flexibility and recovery to maintain a seal even under these varying service conditions.
