High-Temperature Graphite Pipe Gaskets

Flexible graphite gaskets are widely used in industrial applications where high-temperature and high-pressure sealing is required, such as in chemical processing, oil and gas, and power generation.

One of the main advantages of flexible graphite pipe gaskets is their ability to conform to irregular or imperfect joint surfaces. The material is highly compressible and can easily conform to the contours of the flange, which helps to create a tight and reliable seal. Additionally, flexible graphite gaskets have a low coefficient of friction, which reduces the likelihood of gasket damage during installation or removal.

Another advantage of flexible graphite pipe gaskets is their high-temperature resistance. They can withstand temperatures of up to 1800°C (3272°F) in non-oxidizing environments and up to 450°C (842°F) in oxidizing environments. They are also highly resistant to chemical attack and can withstand exposure to most acids, bases, and organic compounds.

Flexible graphite pipe gaskets are available in a range of sizes and thicknesses to suit different pipe sizes and pressure requirements. They can also be supplied with various coatings and reinforcements, such as stainless steel or wire mesh, to enhance their strength and durability.

Flexible graphite pipe gaskets are a popular and reliable solution for high-temperature and high-pressure sealing applications. Their flexibility, compressibility, and temperature resistance make them ideal for use in challenging environments where traditional gasket materials may fail.
