Spiral Wound Gaskets

Spiral wound gaskets are a robust sealing tool to minimise downtime.

Perfect across many industrial applications. 

Spiral Wound Gaskets are a robust sealing product widely used across many industrial applications. Because of their robust nature, they can minimise downtime as they will need replacing less often. This makes them the perfect product for use across many industrial applications.

Spiral Wound Gaskets consist of a ‘V’ shaped metal strip spirally wound in combination with a soft filler material – normally Graphite, PTFE or Mica depending on the application and customer specification.

The gasket is easy to remove after service and does not cause any damage to the flange faces.

Technical details

  • Spiral Wound Gaskets are suitable for use across a wide gasket stress range and are able to seal fluid pressures up to 400 bar and from cryogenic temperatures up to 1000oC.
  • Available to suit ASME, DIN or JIS standard flanges or to special dimensions in materials to suit mating flange.
  • Available in bespoke sizes to suit vessel or exchanger applications.
  • By combining different winding materials and metals, Spiral Wound Gaskets can be tailored to suit a wide variety of operating conditions.
  • The outer guide ring simplifies assembly and prevents blowout of the gasket.

SGIR | Gasket | AMG

SGIR

The preferred, most common type which offers the best performance.

Gaskets are supplied with an outer guide ring to centralise the gasket and inner ring which acts as a compression stop and prevents inward buckling – used for RF flanges.

SG (No Inner Ring)

Supplied with outer guide ring only – no inner ring. Used on RF flanges but not recommended over SGIR type.

R

Mainly used for valve bonnets, male and female flanges, recess flanges, and load-bearing flange configurations such as tongue and groove flanges.
