Description
Inner and outer rings can be fitted which are used for centralizing the gaskets on the face of the flange and protecting the inner windings against erosion. They also act as a compression stop. Maxiflex Spiral Wound gaskets can be manufactured using a range of filler materials according to different service condition.
Maxiflex gaskets can be manufactured to meet all of the international standards such as ASME B16.20, DIN and customer specific requirements.
Flange Surface Finish
Maxiflex gaskets are capable of giving an excellent seal over a wide range of flange surface finishes, but as a general guide we suggest the following:
