Overview
The GASK-6-095X5-587 spiral wound gasket is an R-style industrial sealing component engineered for demanding high-temperature and pressure applications. Spiral wound gaskets are created by winding alternating strips of metal and filler material, composed of a steel centering (outer) ring, a spiral wound sealing strip (filler) and an inner ring made of special steel. This R-style configuration is suitable for both flat-surface and raised-face flange applications across industrial equipment, heat exchangers, pumps, and piping systems.
Key Features
- R-Style Configuration: Designed for compatibility with standard industrial flanges in flat-face and raised-face applications
- Spiral Wound Construction: Spiral wound gaskets depend upon the mechanical characteristics of a formed metal spiral strip, rather than the compressive virtues of more traditional gasket materials. This design excels under fluctuating loads and temperature conditions
- High-Temperature Rated: Suitable for demanding thermal environments typical in chemical processing, steam systems, and industrial piping
- 6-Inch Nominal Size: Fits standard 6-inch ANSI flange connections
- Durable Materials: Spiral wound gaskets typically feature a 1/8″ thick carbon steel outer ring and a 304 stainless steel sealing element with a graphite-based filler.
- New, No-Box Condition: Tested and ready for immediate installation
