Spiral Wound Gaskets for Reducing Cost and Work Risk
Spiral wound gaskets provide the much required cushioning where two metallic objects are in constant contact with each other. Without the presence of a gasket, they are at risk of eroding each other in the working process. This may have serious ramifications, your machinery may fail to offer the required productivity, or you may have to replace these parts frequently. In both cases, you have to incur heavy losses. Hence, spiral wound gaskets offer much required solution in various manufacturing processes.
Spiral Wound Gasket Varieties
Raw materials used:
Different industries use spiral wound gaskets made from a varied range of materials to suit their individual requirements. Among the most widely used raw materials are: metal, plastic, silicon, rubber, asbestos and paper. While deciding on the raw material, various working conditions are taken into account like temperature, impact of chemicals, place of use etc. Apart from these factors, before deciding on any gasket variety, it is recommended that you use only those that fit in to your requirement appropriately i.e. fit into the required space tightly. The durability of spiral wound gasket mainly depends on the mechanical characteristics of the material used; hence it is one factor which should be considered carefully. Of all the metal gaskets, the carbon rich stainless steel is the most popular, for their reliability and durability in various work conditions.
Varieties in shapes:
Spiral wound gaskets are available in many different varieties depending on their respective use. There are round, rectangular, oval, diamond and pear shaped. Of these, the round or circular shaped is most widely used. They are more reliable than other shapes.
Dimensional varieties:
Most of the manufacturers of spiral wound gaskets can produce customized varieties, as per customer demands apart from those size & shape as per prevailing international standards. The same also applies to other fasteners like b7 studs, threaded rod. You can also choose the materials thickness as per your requirements. Most of the users prefer to insert a steel ring inside a spiral wound gasket to increase its efficiency. This is also helps to protect the windings (particularly the filler), from contamination, and other hazards.
Though critics of spiral wound gaskets are of the opinion that these are very expensive, they are worth the price, when you consider their beneficial factors. They go a long way in lowering risks and reducing costs. Spiral wound gaskets are the most durable sealing options in various vital industry sectors. Hence, they are used in refineries, petrochemical, chemical, steam lines and process industries, where they have many advantages over conventional gaskets.
