About Spiral Wound Gasket
We are offering premium quality Spiral Wound Gasket which is designed by using premium class synthetic materials which offers higher stretchability and corrosion resistant properties. It can be used with various machines to prevent the leakage of the lubricants from the machines. It is available in many different sizes per the inner and the outer diameter and the thickness of the element. Buyers can get this mechanical seal in large quantities at a low price range.
Color-Coded IdentificationEach spiral wound gasket is marked according to ASME B16.20 color coding standards, making selection and identification straightforward for pressure class, filler type, and ring material. This minimizes errors and ensures compatibility with system requirements in industrial settings.
Superior Sealing PerformanceConstructed with premium winding material and chemically-resistant fillers, these gaskets provide an excellent seal even under fluctuating temperatures and pressures. Flexible installation, along with pressure ratings from Class 150 to 2500, makes them suitable for diverse flange types.
Customizable Sizing and Material ChoicesGaskets are offered in sizes ranging from 1/2 inch to 60 inches (or custom sizes) and in various thicknesses. Material options for the ring and filler ensure chemical compatibility and meet specific application needs, supported by robust mechanical properties and a precise dimensional tolerance.
FAQs of Spiral Wound Gasket:
Q: How are Spiral Wound Gaskets marked for identification?
A: Spiral wound gaskets are color-coded according to ASME B16.20 standards, which aids in identifying their pressure class, filler material, and ring type. The color coding is applied to the sealing element and the metal rings for quick and accurate selection.
Q: What pressure ratings are available for these gaskets?
A: These gaskets are offered in pressure ratings ranging from Class 150, 300, 600, 900, 1500 to 2500, allowing them to be utilized in applications requiring high integrity under various pressure conditions in pipelines, valves, and vessels.
Q: When should I use PTFE filler in a spiral wound gasket?
A: PTFE filler is recommended when enhanced chemical compatibility is required, especially in environments with aggressive chemicals or in applications where graphite may not be suitable. PTFE-filled gaskets offer resistance up to 260C.
Q: Where can spiral wound gaskets be used?
A: Spiral wound gaskets are suited for sealing flanges, pipelines, valves and pressure vessels commonly found in oil, gas, petrochemical, and power generation plants. Their versatility accommodates a wide range of pipe sizes and materials.
Q: What is the process for choosing the right spiral wound gasket?
A: Identification begins with understanding the applications pressure rating, required chemical and temperature resistance, flange size, and system standards like ASME B16.20. Select the appropriate filler and ring material, and refer to the color code for quick verification.
Q: How does the customizable width and size benefit users?
A: The ability to customize width and size ensures a perfect fit for any flange type or application, enhancing sealing performance and minimizing installation challenges. Standard sizes are available, with custom dimensions provided on request.
Q: What are the main benefits of using spiral wound gaskets?
A: Spiral wound gaskets provide robust sealing under fluctuating pressures and temperatures, high resistance to chemicals and heat, easy installation, non-flammable construction, negligible water absorption, and compliance with industry standards for safety and reliability.
