Description:Champion Spiral Wound Gaskets are composed of a metallic continuous strip with a special shaped profile, coupled with a continuous filling strip (Asbestos, PTFE, Graphite etc.) evenly wound in concentric spiral under constant stress. The Spiral Wound Gaskets are reinforced on the inner and outer diameter by winding of several electrically welded metal. The main property of Spiral Wound Gasket, owing to elastic action of the special metallic strip profile, is that of offering a perfect sealing under fluctuating pressure and temperature conditions & maintaining tight elastic recovering. This elasticity can be modified by a proper selection of components. A proper selection of materials (both metal and fillers) allows the spiral gasket to accommodate the most varied operating conditions. Spiral Gaskets are made as per ASME B16.20 to suit ASME B16.5 flanges and as per "A" Series and "B" Series to suit ASME B16.47 flanges. We also make spiral as per DIN 2632-2638, IS Standards, etc. High-Performance, Chemically Inert Sealing SolutionEngineered with a spiral wound design, the Champion PTFE gasket leverages a virgin PTFE filler and robust stainless steel winding. This construction imparts superior resistance to corrosive substances, enabling its use in challenging industrial applications. Its long service life is attributed to PTFEs chemical inertness and quality craftsmanship. Designed for versatility, it meets critical standards, ensuring reliability for distributors, suppliers, and industrial users throughout India.
Versatile Application and CompatibilityThe gasket is suitable for a broad range of flange types, including raised and flat face variants. Available in multiple sizes, it serves applications across pipelines, heat exchangers, pressure vessels, and valve bonnets. The high-purity PTFE makes it compatible with chemicals, acids, alkalis, solvents, and hydrocarbons. Its ability to withstand extreme temperatures and pressures ensures dependable sealing even under full vacuum conditions.
FAQs of Champion Polytetrafluoroethylene Spiral Wound Gasket:
Q: How is the Champion PTFE Spiral Wound Gasket installed and removed?
A: This gasket is designed for ease of installation and removal. Its construction minimizes flange surface damage, allowing maintenance teams to fit and replace gaskets efficiently without the risk of galling or scarring the flange faces.
Q: What are the benefits of using a virgin PTFE filler in this gasket?
A: The use of 99%+ virgin PTFE ensures maximum chemical inertness, high temperature resistance, and superior sealing capability. This results in a longer product lifespan and excellent corrosion resistance in aggressive chemical and extreme pH environments.
Q: When should I use a spiral wound gasket with stainless steel winding and PTFE filler?
A: This gasket is best suited for applications where exceptional resistance to chemicals, solvents, acids, and alkalis is needed, especially when dealing with aggressive fluids at high pressures and temperatures. Ideal usages include pipelines, heat exchangers, and pressure vessel sealing.
Q: What flange types are compatible with this gasket?
A: The Champion PTFE Spiral Wound Gasket is compatible with both raised face (RF) and flat face (FF) flanges, providing wide application scope in various industries. Additionally, it supports optional centering and inner rings for enhanced performance.
Q: Where can this PTFE spiral wound gasket be used most effectively?
A: It is highly effective in chemical plants, refineries, pharmaceutical industries, and any application requiring reliable sealing of flanges, valve bonnets, and pressure vessels exposed to corrosive or high-temperature media.
Q: What is the process for selecting the right size and ring configuration?
A: Select the nominal diameter (DN) from DN 15 to DN 1200 as per your flange size or request custom dimensions. Choose the appropriate inner and outer ring materials (SS 304, SS 316, etc.) based on media compatibility and operational requirements for maximum performance.
Q: How does the gasket ensure a leak-proof seal under varying conditions?
A: With high elastic recovery, a thickness of 3.2 mm, and adherence to standards such as ASME B16.20/B16.21 and DIN, the gasket maintains a consistently tight, leak-proof seal. It accommodates flange surface irregularities and withstands full vacuum and pressures up to 250 bar, making it reliable across a spectrum of demanding applications.
