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 />
