A spiral wound gasket is a type of semi-metallic gasket designed for high-pressure and high-temperature applications. It consists of a spirally wound metal strip combined with a non-metallic filler material, providing excellent sealing performance in industrial environments.
Key Features & Benefits
Superior Leak Prevention : Ensures tight sealing for flange joints
High-Temperature & Pressure Resistance : Ideal for oil & gas, chemical, and power industries
Durable & Long-Lasting : Engineered for corrosive and extreme conditions
Versatile Applications : Used in steam, hydrogen, and flammable fluid systems
O-Rings : Provide static and dynamic sealing in pneumatic systems.
Components
Spiral wound gaskets typically include three main components :
Outer Ring (Guide Ring) : Centers the gasket within the flange joint
Inner Ring : Prevents buckling and ensures structural integrity
Sealing Element : Made of stainless steel, Monel, or other alloys, combined with graphite or PTFE fillers
