Spiral Wound Gaskets<br />

STYLE HE-CGI WITH SPIRAL WOUND OUTER RING<br />

The Style HE-CGI is a variation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> style CGI spiral wound gasket, developed for use on heat<br />

exchanger, TEMA type flange arrangements. In conjunction with an inner ring, <strong>the</strong> standard spiral<br />

wound construction also supports an outer wound steel nose, designed for <strong>the</strong> purpose <strong>of</strong> accurate<br />

gasket location. It is also available with a solid metal outer ring. Consult Flexitallic Technical<br />

Department for minimum cross sectional width <strong>of</strong> solid metal outer ring.<br />

STYLE CG-RJ<br />

This style designates a specially sized CG gasket <strong>to</strong> be used on standard ring joint flanges. The<br />

outer ring is dimensioned <strong>to</strong> cover <strong>the</strong> ring joint grooves and <strong>to</strong> prevent <strong>the</strong> spiral wound portion<br />

from entering <strong>the</strong> groove. This type <strong>of</strong> gasket should be used only as a maintenance repair item.<br />

CARRIER RING<br />

The carrier ring gasket consists <strong>of</strong> two spiral wound gaskets placed in a specially machined metallic<br />

ring as illustrated. The major advantages <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> carrier ring are its high recovery, and ease <strong>of</strong><br />

handling compared <strong>to</strong> standard spirals, due <strong>to</strong> its integral construction.<br />

STYLE 625<br />

Style 625 spiral wound gaskets are similar <strong>to</strong> Style R gaskets, with a thickness <strong>of</strong> 0.0625". These<br />

gaskets are widely used wherever space restrictions indicate <strong>the</strong> need for a wafer thin gasket design<br />

capable <strong>of</strong> sealing high pressures.<br />

STYLE T<br />

These gaskets are used for boiler handhole and tube cap assemblies. They are available in round,<br />

oval, obround, square, pear and diamond shapes. Refer <strong>to</strong> our general catalogue for standard Style<br />

T gaskets. Please note Style T gaskets rely on internal pressure in <strong>the</strong> boiler <strong>to</strong> properly seat <strong>the</strong><br />

gasket. This means, when a hydrostatic test is performed on <strong>the</strong> gasket, <strong>the</strong> pressure exerted against<br />

<strong>the</strong> plate will fur<strong>the</strong>r compress <strong>the</strong> gasket - and it is necessary <strong>to</strong> tighten each nut <strong>to</strong> compensate for<br />

<strong>the</strong> additional compression <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> gasket under load.<br />

STYLE M, MC & MCS<br />

These styles are designed for boiler manhole cover assemblies. They are usually <strong>of</strong> round, obround<br />

or oval shape, depending <strong>of</strong> course, upon <strong>the</strong> manhole plate configuration. Style MC gaskets have<br />

pre-formed inner and/or outer rings made <strong>of</strong> spiral windings. This centering guide permits <strong>the</strong> gasket<br />

<strong>to</strong> assume its correct position and <strong>to</strong> compensate for inequalities in plate con<strong>to</strong>urs and fillets in<br />

cold-pressed plates as well as <strong>to</strong> prevent shouldering and pinching caused by radial misplacement.<br />

Style MCS gaskets are manufactured with a solid metal inner and/or outer ring which also prevents<br />

over compression <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> gasket in high pressure systems.<br />
