What are Spiral Wound Gaskets?

Spiral wound gasket is formed of V-shaped Metallic strip and soft non-metallic filler.
Support rings, inside and Outside the spiral, improve the gasket’s handing, fitting and
Versatility. Depend on its excellent compression resilience, it is suitable for sealing spots
where the alteration of temperature and pressure are frequent.

Spiral Wound Gasket is one of the widely used seals, the spiral wound gasket depends on
the mechanical characteristics of a formed metal strip which works as a spring, offering a
better resilience under fluctuated pressure & temperature. They are widely used in the
industrial field and fluid sectors.

Types:

YA600-R Basic Type Gaskets

Suitable for tongue and groove, male and female or grooved to flat face flange assemblies.
YA600-IR Inner Ring Type Gaskets
Solid inner metal ring acts as a compression stopper. To prevent accumulation of solids,
reduce turbulent flow of process fluids and minimize erosion, damages of gasket between
flange bore and the inside diameter, the annular space is filled up by solid inner metal ring.
– Suitable for male and female pipe flanges.
YA600-CG Outer Ring Type Gaskets
Solid outer ring accurately locates the gasket on the flange face to give the additional
radial strength to prevent the gasket blowout and acts as a compression limiter. In case of
installing the outer ring, it is very easy to install the gasket to flange face because the end
of outer ring will touch at bolts – Suitable for use with flat face and raised face flanges. For
class 900 and above an internal ring is recommended.
YA600-CGI Inner & Outer Rings Type Gaskets
A inner ring and outer ring type gasket will give an additional compression limiting stopper
for gasket inner and outer side. It will prevent the corrosions on flange face at annular
space. – Suitable for use with flat face and raised face flanges and specified for high
pressure / temperature service – Class 900 and above or where corrosive or toxic media
are present.

Spiral wound gasket for heat exchangers

Spiral wound gasket for heat exchangers are designed for heat exchangers, it can be with
or without inner and outer rings.This style spiral wound gasket is for heat exchangers
where pass bars are required. The outer portion is of standard spiral wound construction.
The rib portion is normally of single or double jacketed style.

Spiral Wound Gasket for Heat Exchangers

The outer wound nose to ensure correct sealing element location in the flange recess.

 A spiral wound sealing element to ensure a positive seal under fluctuating

temperature and pressure conditions.
 A solid metal inner ring to protect the sealing element and act as a compression
stop.
 Can be supplied with pass partition bars in any configuration. Pass bars are
secured to the inner ring can be supplied in either solid metal or double jacketed
construction.

Typical Applications
* The gaskets which with outer rings are primarily designed for TEMA male and female
flanges.
* Gaskets are custom built to suit the design conditions of individual heat exchanger
vessels.
Specifications
Spiral wound with inner or outer or with partition ribs acts a pass bars. Manufactured to
customer design.

Spiral Wound Gaskets are made of a preformed thin metallic strip combined with a soft
sealing composite material, wound together under pressure to energize the sealing
element to act like a spring when compressed between two flange faces. The sealing
element can be used stand-alone or in

conjunction with inner and/or outer rings depending on the application.

Spiral Wound Gaskets are available in a full range of styles and materials and are
manufactured in accordance with ASME B16.20 for use in all industry flanges, including
ASME/ANSI B16.5, ASME B 16.47, Series A & B.

Spiral Wound Gaskets can be made from a large selection of alloys and filler materials in
a variety of shapes and sizes. Some of the most common shapes are as follows.

Style S Gasket– Sealing Element

Designed for tongue and grove applications, the style S gasket is a stand alone sealing
element where the ID is reinforced with several layers of metal winding, filler material is
then introduce to offer greater sealing ability and the gasket is finished with several more
layers of metal to help insure stability.
Style SI Gasket– Sealing Element with Inner Ring
The SI configuration is the same as the S except that a solid inner ring is utilized to
prevent over compression. This design is also helpful in turbulent applications which are
prone to cause erosion of the flange faces.
Style CS Gasket– Centering Ring with Sealing Element
The CS gasket utilizes an external ring where the ID is grooved to insert a sealing element.
The external ring or centering ring is designed to properly guide the gasket on a bolted
flange accurately centering gasket. The Centering also provides additional radial strength
to prevent gasket blowout and acts as a compression limiter.
Style CSI Gasket– Centering Ring with Sealing Element and Inner Ring
The CSI gasket is best suited where high pressure and temperature is a factor or in
applications where corrosive or toxic media maybe present. Like the CS profile, the CSI
gasket includes an inner ring which has proven to be very helpful to eliminate inward
buckling of the sealing element.
ASME B16.20 requires the use of CSI gaskets when PTFE is used as the filler in all ANSI
B16.5 applications as well as:
• Pressure Class 900, nominal pipe sizes 24” and larger
• Pressure Class 1500, nominal pipe sizes 12” and larger
• Pressure Class 2500, nominal pipe sizes 4” and larger
