High-performance Flexible Graphite Spiral Wound Gaskets from a leading China factory. Trusted suppliers for flange joints and pressure vessels, designed for high-temperature steam and low-temperature LNG applications.
The Flexible Graphite Spiral Wound Gasket with a Carbon Steel (CS) Outer Ring represents a pinnacle of sealing technology, specifically engineered for high-stakes industrial environments. By integrating the exceptional thermal stability of flexible graphite with a precision-engineered spiral wound architecture, this gasket delivers a robust, leak-proof seal capable of withstanding extreme pressure surges and volatile temperature fluctuations.
Tailored for the rigorous demands of rubber and plastics manufacturing, as well as chemical and petrochemical processing, the integrated CS outer ring provides critical centering and prevents over-compression. This strategic design significantly extends the operational lifespan of the seal, minimizes maintenance downtime, and ensures maximum safety in high-pressure piping systems.

| Performance Metric | Standard Gaskets | Flexible Graphite SWG |
|---|---|---|
| Seal Longevity | Low to Medium | Very High |
| Maintenance Frequency | High (Frequent leaks) | Low (Stable seal) |
| Temperature Resistance | Limited | Extreme Range |
| Installation Risk | Higher (Over-tightening) | Lower (CS Ring Protected) |
| Total Cost of Ownership | Higher (Due to downtime) | Lower (Long-term ROI) |
They are widely used in rubber parts manufacturing, petrochemical plants, and refineries for high-pressure steam, oil, and gas pipelines where thermal cycling is common.
The CS outer ring acts as a centering device and prevents the gasket from being crushed or "blow-out" under excessive bolt torque, ensuring a balanced seal.
Flexible graphite generally offers significantly higher temperature resistance than PTFE, making it the preferred choice for high-heat industrial steam applications.
Yes, our gaskets are manufactured in strict accordance with ASME B16.20 and other international standards to ensure global interchangeability.
For maximum safety and leak prevention, we strongly recommend replacing spiral wound gaskets with every flange disassembly.
Flexible graphite is chemically inert to most acids, alkalis, and organic solvents, making it ideal for aggressive rubber and plastic production environments.
