In modern industrial applications, Spiral Wound Gaskets are critical components that ensure sealing integrity in high-pressure and high-temperature environments.
Spiral Wound Gaskets are critical components in industrial sealing applications, and the choice of materials directly impacts their durability, performance, and reliability.
Spiral Wound Gaskets are widely used in high-pressure, high-temperature, and chemically demanding environments because of their unique structure and resilience.
What is Spiral Wound Gasket (SWG)?Do you know?
1. Brush off any rust or foreign particles. Wipe flange surface thoroughly with a rag soaked in acetone or other suitable solvent to remove grease or oil. 2. Insert fingernail between the paper backing strip and the tape and strip the paper back three to six inches. Draw a reference line in flange and press squared off end of tape against it. 3. Now, start laying the tape along the face of the flange, peeling the paper backing as you go. To prevent the adhesive surfaces of the tape from doubling back on themselves and sticking together, strip away only a few inches of paper at a time.
Clean radius and straight cuts are achievable on gasket material with the proper tooling. Thinner types of gasket material require nothing more than sharp blades and hollow gasket cutters. Gasket material over 1/4-inch thick require specialized mechanical tools to create the precision cuts necessary to seal a piece of equipment and is best left to professionals. Properly securing the gasket material and ensuring the tools used are in good condition will allow you to cut thinner gasket material efficiently and precisely.
