What is A Spiral Wound Gasket?
SN500
Spiral wound gaskets provide excellent sealing efficiency and
continuous compressibility. The process of highly accurate winding
density control provides a spiral wound gasket made to satisfy your
specified seating stress and guarantees continuous sealing of your most
critical fluids. Kaxite™ Spiral Wound Gaskets are durable and easily
installed and removed. Kaxite™ gaskets seal pressures to flange
ratings, according to ASME B16.20. The Kaxite™ series of gaskets
provide many different situations by incorporating various metals and
filler materials. They are perfect for hydrocarbon processing and
refining, petrochemical processing, chemical processing, power
generation, pulp and paper, and oil and petrol industries
The Spiral Wound Gasket Construction Structures
The
spiral wound gasket is made by specially formed V Shape metal strip and
a soft gasket filler material such as graphite or PTFE Tape. The Gasket
can include a outer centering ring and inner ring or both. The outer
ring mainly centers the gasket between flanges, while the inner ring
provides strength and also lowers internal turbulence and helps to
protect the sealing elements.
In a Word, the spiral wound gasket consists of 3 main structure as below
Winding Ring: made of stainless steel such as ss304, ss316L, ss321, Monel 400, and mixed with a filler such as Graphite or PTFE
Inner Ring: Material used usually same as the Winding Ring
Guide or Outer Centering Ring: Mostly Carbon steel painted, also stainless steel like ss304, ss316
And the gasket thickness usually is: 4.5mm, 3.2mm and 6.4mm, custom thickness can be accepted
Types of Spiral Wound Gasket
So
according to the spiral wound gasket Construction Structure, the gasket
manufactured and supplied by us Ningbo Kaxite™ can have 4 main types
as Below
1. SN 500-R Type: Basic type Spiral Wound Gaskets
2. SN 500-RIR Type: Spiral Wound Gasket with Inner Ring
3. SN 500-CG Type: Spiral Wound Gasket with Outer Centering Ring
4. SN 500-CGI Type: Spiral Wound Gasket with Inner and Outer Ring
Basic Type Spiral Wound Gasket - SN 500-R
Basic
type Spiral wound gasket construction type just with a winding ring,
with no inner or outer centering ring. Its inner and outer diameters are
strengthened with some piles of metal strips without filler to offer
great stability and compression characteristics. It is ideal for tongue
and groove, male and female or grooved to flat face flange assemblies.
Spiral Wound Gasket with Inner Ring SN 500-RIR
Spiral
wound gasket solid inner metal ring behaves as a compression stopper to
avoid accumulation of solids, decrease turbulent flow of operation
fluids and reduce erosion. And avoid damages of gasket between flange
bore and the inside diameter as the annular space of flange is filled up
by solid inner metal ring. Suitable for male and female pipe flanges.
Spiral Wound Gasket with Outer Ring SN 500-CG
By
means of suitable dimension of the centering ring, the sealing element
is accurately centered on the flange face by the bolts. The outer ring
of spiral wound gasket can Protect the spiral wound sealing element.
Suitable for male and female pipe flanges.
Spiral Wound Gasket with Inner and Outer Ring SN 500-CGI
This
type of spiral wound gasket is with inner and outer centering ring, the
inner and centering ring will give an additional compression limiting
stopper for gasket inner and outer side. It will prevent the corrosion
on flange faces at annular space. Suitable for used with flat face and
raised face flanges and specified for high pressure temperature service
class 900 and above or other situations
Standard Specification
Spiral
wound Gaskets are manufactured in accordance with all relevant gasket
standards to suit flange designations: ASME B 16.20, MSS SP-44, API 605,
DIN 2632-2638 DIN EN1514-2, JIS B2404, BS EN1514-2 , etc. Or products
can be customized according to the users' requirements (no-standard
spiral wound gasket). Please provide the specific drawings if the gasket
is no-standard.
Main Applications of Spiral wound gaskets
Spiral
wound gaskets can be used in applications where high temperature and
high pressure, also in low temperature applications like in cryogenic
facilities, chemical plants, and research laboratories. As the spiral
wound gasket can be adjusted automatically, it is especially suitable
for the occasions where the load is uneven, the joint force is easy to
relax, the temperature and pressure change periodically, and there is
impact or vibration. It is a static sealing element for flange joints of
valves, pumps, heat exchangers, towers, manholes and handholes. It is
widely used in petrochemical, mechanical, electric power, metallurgy,
shipbuilding, medicine, atomic energy and aerospace departments
Below Reasons Are Why Spiral Wound Gasket is so Popular and Its Advantages
• Combinations of metal strip and filler are selected to suit the specific fluid media and operating conditions.
• Make gaskets suitable for high pipeline pressure on flat or raised flange faces.
• Gasket are made in a wide variety of sizes and shapes.
• Temperatures from cryogenic up to 1000 °C
• High and low temperature resistance
• Quick to install and remove
