FEATURES
CONSTRUCTION ADVANTAGES
Alternating plies of spring-like metal and resilient filler.
  • resiliency makes Spiroflex self-adjusting to temperature/pressure changes, vibration, fluctuating bolt load and minor flange separation
  • microscopically penetrates bearing surface for multiple seal
Solid metal outer ring.
  • compression stop
  • accurately centers the gasket in the flange
  • adds radial strength to prevent any gasket blowout
Corrosion-resistant metals.
  • reduces risk of corrosion of flange face
Multiple construction options in materials and filler design.
  • suits any practical pressure/temperature combination
Color-coded.
  • ensures that the correct Spiroflex is being used - without removing the gasket from the flange.
