It is made to be constructed as alternate plies of preformed metal windings and plain fillers that are spirally wound when compressed between two flanges. A "v" and "w" shaped crown centered in the metal strip acts as a spring, giving gaskets greater resilience under varying conditions. Filler and strip materials can be changed to accommodate different chemical compatibility requirements. If the load available to compress a gasket is limited, gasket construction and dimensions can be altered to provide an effective seal.
The gasket may include a centering ring, an inner ring or both. The outer centering ring enters the gasket within the flange and acts as a compression limiter, while the inner ring provides additional radial strength. The inner ring also reduces flange erosion and protects the sealing element. Resilience and strength make spiral wound gaskets an ideal choice under a variety of conditions and applications. Widely used in refineries and chemical processing plants, power generation, aerospace, and a variety of valve and special applications. As environmental regulations and industry requirements become increasingly stringent, new and custom applications are continuing to evolve. Wherever you need a strong, resilient seal, our spiral wound gaskets provide an effective solution.
