Graphite gaskets

Graphite gaskets are sealing gaskets used to seal pipe flange surfaces, heat exchangers, storage tanks, pumps, and other industrial equipment that require high heat and corrosion resistance. They are made from compressed graphite sheets with metal reinforcements for added strength.

Graphite gaskets are highly valued for their heat resistance, corrosion resistance, chemical resistance, and pressure resistance. They can withstand temperatures up to 500°C, making them suitable for high-temperature industrial applications. Graphite gaskets are also known for their low friction coefficient, wear resistance, and ability to conform to uneven sealing surfaces.

There are different types of graphite gaskets available on the market, including pure graphite gaskets, expanded graphite gaskets, laminated graphite gaskets, and braided graphite gaskets. The choice of gasket type depends on the specific application and technical requirements.

Graphite gaskets are easy to install and are often used with pipe flanges, heat exchangers, storage tanks, and similar equipment. It is important to follow the manufacturer’s instructions for installing and tightening graphite gaskets to ensure effective and reliable sealing.
