SPIRAL
WOUND GASKETS
Spiral
Wound are a versatile gasket used to compensate for
joint
relaxation in cycling pressure &
temperature variation. The construction is of V
shaped metal and soft protruding filler material.
This assembly acts as a spring and materials can be
varied to handle a wide range of chemicals as well
as steam. Compression is controlled either by the
design of the flange containing the gasket or
alternatively by an outside metal ring. An inner
ring can also be fitted in high pressure
applications for vacuum or to prevent media build
up. It is mainly applied in Steam generation &
associated pipework , petrochemical industry, valves
& energy industries.
