what is a spiral wound gasket

What is a spiral wound gasket

spiral wound gasket is formed of V-shaped Metallic strip and soft non-metallic filler. Support rings, inside and Outside the spiral, improve the gasket’s handing, fitting and Versatility. Depend on its excellent compression resilience, it is suitable for sealing spots where the alteration of temperature and pressure are frequent.

Spiral Wound Gasket is one of the widely used seals, the spiral wound gasket depends on the mechanical characteristics of a formed metal strip which works as a spring, offering a better resilience under fluctuated pressure & temperature. They are widely used in the industrial field and fluid sectors.

Type & Advantage:

R Type Spiral Wound Gasket

R Type Spiral Wound Gasket

R Basic Type


● Basic construction type, inner and outer diameters are reinforced with several piles of metal without filler to give greater stability and better compression characteristics. 

● Recommended flange tongue and groove, male to female and flat face to recess.

● General and critical duties.

IR Type Spiral Wound Gasket

IR Type Spiral Wound Gasket

IR Inner Ring Type

● Solid inner metal ring acts as a compression stopper. To prevent accumulation of solids, reduce turbulent flow of process fluids and minimize erosion, damages of gasket between flange bore and the inside diameter, the annular space is filled up by solid inner metal ring.

● Suitable for male and female pipe flanges.

● General duties.

CG Type Spiral Wound Gasket

CG Type Spiral Wound Gasket

CG Outer Ring Type

● Solid outer ring accurately locates the gasket on the flange face to give the additional radial strength to prevent the gasket blowout and acts as a compression limiter. In case of installing the outer ring, it is very easy to install the gasket to flange face because the end of outer ring will touch at bolts.

● Suitable for use with flat face and raised face flanges. For class 900 and above an internal ring is recommended.

● General and critical duties.

CGI Type Spiral Wound Gasket

CGI Type Spiral Wound Gasket

CGI Inner & Outer Rings Type

● A inner ring and outer ring type gasket will give an additional compression limiting stopper for gasket inner and outer side. It will prevent the corrosions on flange face at annular space.

● Suitable for use with flat face and raised face flanges and specified for high pressure / temperature service – Class 900 and above or where corrosive or toxic media are present.

● General and critical duties.
