Product Description

Spiral wound gaskets are engineered for high-temperature, high-pressure sealing in oil, chemical, power, and metallurgical industries. They are widely used in flanged connections of pipelines, valves, pumps, pressure vessels, and heat exchangers. The combination of metal winding and flexible filler provides excellent elasticity, mechanical strength, and chemical compatibility, ensuring reliable sealing even in extreme conditions.

Core Advantages

Exceptional Sealing Performance

  • Interleaved “V”-shaped metal strips with flexible filler provide outstanding elastic recovery.

  • Compensates for flange irregularities, maintaining zero leakage under pressure fluctuations and thermal cycles.

Comprehensive Material Options

  • Metal Strip: 201/304/316 stainless steel, specialty alloys, or carbon steel for corrosion resistance.

  • Filler Layer: Flexible graphite (high-temperature conductivity), PTFE (chemical resistance), or non-asbestos soft materials (safe, medium-temperature applications).

Advanced Structural Designs

  • Type A (Basic): Cost-effective standard for most flanges.

  • Type B (Inner Ring): Prevents over-compression, protects the inner edge from turbulence or corrosion.

  • Type C (Outer Ring): Simplifies centering, adds mechanical protection, and prevents gasket scattering.

  • Type D (Inner & Outer Ring): Combines the advantages of B and C, providing ultimate protection, centering, and blow-out resistance for extreme conditions.

Durability and Safety

  • Optimized structure resists stress relaxation and creep.

  • Filler materials like graphite and PTFE are self-lubricating, easing installation and reducing flange damage risk.

Application Fields

Oil & Gas

Refineries, oil/gas pipelines, offshore platforms, and LNG facilities for flange sealing.

Chemical & Petrochemical

Reactors, heat exchangers, towers, pumps, valves, and pipelines handling corrosive chemicals.

Power & Energy

High-temperature, high-pressure steam systems in thermal and nuclear power plants.

Heavy Industry & Manufacturing

Metallurgy, paper, pharmaceuticals, and food processing require certified material options.

Maintenance & Upgrades

Upgrades over traditional gaskets to solve persistent leakage issues and extend maintenance intervals.

Product Features and Highlights

Four-in-One Standard Models

A, B, C, and D types cover diverse flange standards and operating conditions.

Highly Customizable Material Matrix

Metal strips and filler materials can be combined in dozens of ways to tailor gaskets for specific media, temperatures, and pressures.

Installation-Friendly and Long-Lasting

Optimized elasticity and structure ensure easy installation and maintain sealing integrity over long-term operation, reducing downtime and maintenance costs.

FAQ

1. What are spiral wound gaskets?
Spiral wound gaskets are high-performance sealing components made by winding alternating layers of metal strips and soft filler materials (such as graphite or PTFE) into a spiral shape, designed to provide reliable sealing under high pressure and temperature.

2. What materials are used in spiral wound gaskets?
They typically consist of stainless steel, carbon steel, or alloy metals for the winding, combined with fillers like graphite, PTFE, or ceramic to enhance sealing performance and chemical resistance.

3. Where are spiral wound gaskets commonly used?
They are widely used in oil & gas, petrochemical, power generation, chemical processing, and pipeline systems, especially in flanged joints and pressure vessels.

4. What are the advantages of spiral wound gaskets?

  • Excellent sealing performance under extreme conditions
  • High resistance to temperature and pressure fluctuations
  • Good recovery and flexibility
  • Suitable for a wide range of fluids and gases

5. How do you choose the right spiral wound gasket?
Selection depends on factors such as operating pressure, temperature, flange type, chemical compatibility, and gasket size, ensuring optimal sealing and safety in the application.
