Maxiflex Spiral Wound Gasket
KLINGER Maxiflex spiral wound gaskets provide a safe, high-integrity seal for demanding industrial applications, combining a resilient metallic winding with a choice of filler materials to accommodate fluctuating temperatures and pressures.
Maxiflex Spiral Wound Gaskets provide a safe, high-integrity seal for applications where operating conditions can fluctuate. Combining the sealing properties of a soft filler material with the mechanical strength of a metallic winding, they offer reliable sealing performance across a wide range of industrial applications.
_
The sealing element is manufactured by interleaving a preformed metallic winding strip with a soft filler material, creating a robust, spring-like construction. When compressed, the filler material densifies to fill the surface irregularities of the flange, while the metallic winding provides mechanical strength and resistance to changes in operating conditions.
_
This construction makes Maxiflex Spiral Wound Gaskets particularly suitable for applications where sealing performance may be affected by fluctuations in temperature, pressure, flange rotation, bolt stress or creep.
_
Available in a wide range of metallic and filler material combinations, Maxiflex Spiral Wound Gaskets can be selected to suit different media and operating requirements. They can be manufactured for standard flanges as well as custom-designed vessels.
_
KLINGER Maxiflex Spiral Wound Gaskets exceed the performance criteria of the latest ASME B16.20 standard and are fire safe in accordance with API 6FB.
