Spiral Wound Gasket Monel 400 stock

Gasket Monel 400: A robust alloy offering exceptional corrosion resistance, especially in marine and acidic environments.

A metal-wound gasket, also known as a spiral wound gasket, is a high-performance seal typically used in high-pressure and high-temperature applications. Its unique design and construction make it suitable for a wide range of industrial sealing applications.

The gasket is comprised of a mix of metallic and filler material. The winding process involves spirally winding a preformed metal strip and filler material. The metal strip provides structural integrity and resilience, while the filler material ensures the gasket is leak-proof.

Metal strips are often made of stainless steel or other corrosion-resistant metals, while the filler materials could be flexible graphite, PTFE, or other heat-resistant materials. The resulting spiral structure exhibits excellent recovery characteristics and is highly resistant to temperature, pressure fluctuations, and corrosion.

One of the major advantages of metal-wound gaskets is their ability to maintain a seal even under severe conditions, making them an ideal choice for applications in the petrochemical, refinery, and power generation industries.

Additionally, the gasket’s design can be customized to meet specific flange configurations and operating conditions, ensuring optimal performance. However, it is crucial to select the appropriate metal and filler materials to match the application to ensure longevity and sealing effectiveness.
