Spiral Wound Gaskets
Spiral wound
gaskets are special semi-metallic gaskets of great resilience,
therefore they are very suitable for applications featuring heavy
operating conditions, Spiral wound gaskets are manufactured by
spirally winding a V-shaped metal strip and a strip of non-metallic
filler material. The metal strip holds the filler, providing the
gasket with mechanical resistance and resilience. Spiral wound
gaskets can be reinforced by an outer centering ring and/or inner
retaining ring. The outer centering ring controls the compression
and holds the gasket centrally within the bolt circle. The inner
retaining ring increases the axial rigidity and resilience of the
gasket. Spiral wound gaskets should always be in contact with the
flange and should not protrude into the pipe or project from the
flange. Spiral wound gaskets can be used for sealing flange joints,
manhole and handhold covers, tube covers, boilers, heat exchangers,
pressure vessels, pumps, compressors and valves; in industries such
as petrochemical, pharmaceutical, shipbuilding, and food processing,
in power industries and nuclear power stations. They are ideal for
steam, oil, liquids, gases, acids, alkalines, various organic
mediums and solvents.
