Compared with traditional gaskets, under what extreme working conditions can Spiral Wound Gaskets demonstrate superior sealing performance?

In the industrial field, the selection of seals is crucial, especially when facing extreme working conditions. Although traditional gaskets perform well under normal conditions, their performance is often difficult to guarantee in extreme environments such as high temperature, high pressure, strong corrosion, temperature fluctuations and high vacuum. In contrast, Spiral Wound Gaskets (metal spiral wound gaskets) have demonstrated unparalleled sealing performance under these extreme conditions with their unique design and superior material combination.

1. Guardian of high temperature and high pressure environment

In the petroleum, chemical and other industries, high temperature and high pressure equipment is everywhere. These equipment require seals to withstand extremely high temperatures and pressures without failure. Spiral Wound Gaskets use high temperature resistant metal belts (such as stainless steel, alloy steel, etc.) as the skeleton, and match them with non-metallic belts with excellent sealing performance (such as graphite, PTFE, etc.), forming a strong and flexible sealing structure. This design enables metal spiral wound gaskets to maintain stable sealing performance under high temperature and high pressure environments, effectively prevent medium leakage, and ensure the safe operation of equipment.

2. Nemesis of highly corrosive media

Corrosive media are an unavoidable problem in many industrial processes. Traditional gaskets often fail quickly in highly corrosive environments, causing equipment leakage and damage. Spiral Wound Gaskets can provide effective solutions for different corrosive media by flexibly selecting a combination of different materials. Whether it is corrosive chemicals such as acids, alkalis or salts, metal spiral wound gaskets can resist their erosion by selecting suitable non-metallic tape materials to ensure the durability of the sealing effect.

3. Adaptors of temperature and pressure fluctuations

In many industrial processes, changes in temperature and pressure are the norm. Such frequent fluctuations place extremely high demands on seals. Traditional gaskets are prone to problems such as stress relaxation or material fatigue when experiencing rapid changes in temperature and pressure, resulting in sealing failure. Spiral Wound Gaskets, with its unique winding structure and good stress compensation capabilities, can maintain stable sealing performance under temperature and pressure fluctuations. The combination of the strong support provided by its metal tape and the softness of the non-metallic tape effectively resists the impact of changes in the external environment on the sealing effect.

4. Experts in high vacuum and high pressure difference environments

In situations where high vacuum or high pressure difference is required, even a small leak in the seal may lead to serious consequences. Spiral Wound Gaskets can provide reliable sealing under these extreme conditions with its tightly wound structure and high-quality material selection. Its sealing surface is precisely processed and processed to ensure good fit and sealing effect with the flange sealing surface. Whether it is in applications such as vacuum pumps, semiconductor manufacturing equipment or high-pressure pipelines, metal spiral wound gaskets can demonstrate their excellent sealing performance.
