Spiral Wound gaskets, ASME B16.20 Metal Gasket
The concept of spiral wound gasket construction was pioneered by Flexitallic in 1912, inaugurating the beginning of a new era in safe, effective sealing. The primary purpose for this development was the increasingly severe temperatures and pressures used by U.S. refinery operators in the first half of the century.
The ability of a gasket to recover is critical for maintaining a reliable seal. This requirement is driven by several operational factors:
Fluctuations in pressure and temperature
Temperature differentials across the flange face
Bolt stress relaxation and creep over time
A gasket with adequate flexibility and recovery is necessary to compensate for these varying conditions and ensure sealing integrity.
Solution: Spiral Wound Gaskets
The spiral wound gasket is a precision-engineered component designed to address these challenges. Its performance characteristics include:
Proven reliability under the most demanding temperature and pressure conditions in flanged assemblies.
Compatibility with a wide range of media, offering high resistance to virtually all known corrosive and toxic substances.
ASME B16.20, which governs spiral wound gaskets, mandates the use of solid metal inner rings in:
Pressure Class 900 for nominal pipe sizes 24" and larger
Pressure Class 1500 for nominal pipe sizes 12" and larger
Pressure Class 2500 for nominal pipe sizes 4" and larger
All PTFE-filled gaskets
The standard also specifies how spiral wound gaskets should be characterized. Below you will find an illustrative image.
