Spiral Wound Gaskets:
The Application of Wound Gasket
The versatility of wound gaskets makes them a popular choice across different industries. It is widely used in offshore applications such as exploration rigs, subsea systems and other processing plants in harsh environments. Additionally, these gaskets are ideal for use in food and beverage processing, pharmaceutical and petrochemical refineries.
They are also suitable for natural gas and oil pipelines and provide leak-free seals in power stations. Spiral wound gaskets are optimized for low and high pressure environments, making them suitable for any pressure application.
Installation of wound gaskets
Proper installation of spiral wound gaskets is critical to ensuring a tight, leak-free connection. Here’s how to install the gasket:
1. Clean the flanges that will be sealed, making sure to remove any rust or debris.
2. Inspect the flange grooves and make sure they are free of nicks, burrs, or rough spots that could damage the gasket.
3. Align the gasket and insert it into the groove. Make sure there are no obstructions or gaps between the flange and gasket.
4. After inserting the gasket, carefully bring the flanges together and tighten the bolts in a criss-cross pattern.
Spiral wound gaskets represent a quantum leap in technology as they provide the necessary sealing for industrial applications. These gaskets are designed to provide maximum reliability in extreme temperatures, pressures and corrosive environments. They are ideal for the chemical, offshore drilling and energy industries where tight seals need to be maintained. They are also versatile and can be found in gas and oil pipelines, power plants, pharmaceutical and food processing facilities. When properly installed, spiral wound gaskets ensure a tight, leak-free connection that guarantees efficient operation in any industry.
