Spiral gaskets

Spiral wound gaskets are specialized seals used in high-pressure and high-temperature installations. Their unique construction allows for effective protection of flange connections, minimizing the risk of leaks of liquids and gases even in extreme working conditions.

The construction of spiral wound gaskets is based on a metal strip formed into a spiral and elastic filler made of sealing material. This filler can be made of graphite, PTFE, mica, or other specialized materials, allowing the gasket to be adapted to specific working conditions. The metal strip, usually made of stainless steel, Inconel, Monel, or Hastelloy, ensures mechanical durability and resistance to high loads.

Due to their durability and excellent sealing properties, spiral gaskets are widely used in industry, especially where reliable sealing is required under high loads. The most common industries and applications include:

• Chemical and petrochemical industry - used in installations transporting aggressive chemicals, corrosive substances, and hydrocarbons.
• Energy and refinery industry - utilized in conventional and nuclear power plants, where they ensure the sealing of systems at high temperatures and pressures.
• Marine industry - essential in installations on drilling platforms and subsea pipeline systems, where resistance to corrosion and extreme weather conditions is crucial.
• High-pressure pipelines - used in fluid and gas transmission systems, where sealing resistant to variable pressures and temperatures is required.
• Heat exchangers and turbines - ensuring effective sealing of components subjected to intense mechanical and thermal loads.
• Industrial valves and fittings - used in flow control systems, where durable and resilient sealing is necessary.

By combining flexibility and strength, spiral gaskets effectively compensate for surface irregularities of flanges as well as changes in pressure and temperature, ensuring long-lasting system tightness.

Spiral gaskets provide exceptional tightness, effectively eliminating the risk of leaks of fluids and gases. Thanks to their design, they precisely adapt to flange surfaces, compensating for irregularities and ensuring reliable sealing even in demanding operating conditions. Made of high-quality metals and specialized filling materials, they can operate in extreme temperatures up to +1000°C and in high-pressure systems. Their durable construction provides resistance to mechanical loads, vibrations, and fluctuating pressures, making them an ideal solution for industrial systems. The use of graphite, PTFE, or mica ensures resistance to corrosive substances, acids, oils, and fuels, making them perfect for the chemical and petrochemical industries. Available in various material variants such as stainless steel, Inconel, Monel, or Hastelloy, they allow for perfect adaptation to specific working conditions.
