ABOUT PRODUCT

Spiral Wound Gasket Without Rings

Ferrobend Spiral Wound Gaskets Without Rings are designed for flange assemblies where centering rings are not required. The gasket consists only of precision wound metallic strips and soft filler material, providing excellent sealing capability and recovery.

These gaskets are widely used with tongue and groove, male and female, and grooved flanges where flange geometry itself accurately positions the gasket during installation.

Manufactured using premium stainless steels, nickel alloys, graphite, PTFE, and other high-performance filler materials, Ferrobend gaskets deliver reliable sealing performance for demanding industrial services.

ENGINEERING DESIGN

Construction Details

Ferrobend Spiral Wound Gaskets Without Rings are manufactured with precision wound metallic strips and soft filler materials to provide excellent resilience, sealing performance, and recovery under demanding operating conditions.

Metal Winding

V-shaped metallic strips are spirally wound with controlled tension to provide excellent strength, flexibility, and sealing efficiency.

Soft Filler

Flexible graphite, PTFE, ceramic fiber, or other fillers are inserted between each metal winding to improve sealing performance and recovery.

Elastic Recovery

The spiral winding structure provides excellent resilience, allowing the gasket to compensate for thermal expansion, vibration, and pressure fluctuations.

High Temperature Service

Material combinations allow operation across a wide temperature range depending on the selected metal and filler materials.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

Installation Guidelines

Correct installation ensures maximum sealing performance, uniform gasket compression, and long service life under demanding operating conditions.

01

Inspect Flanges

Clean the flange faces thoroughly and inspect for scratches, corrosion, or damage before installing the gasket.

02

Position the Gasket

Carefully place the gasket inside the tongue & groove, male & female, or grooved flange ensuring proper seating.

03

Apply Bolt Torque

Tighten flange bolts gradually using the recommended cross-tightening sequence to obtain even gasket compression.

04

Final Inspection

Verify bolt tightness, flange alignment, and gasket seating before placing the system into operation.

HANDLING INFORMATION

Storage Recommendations

Original Packaging

Store the gasket in its original packaging until installation to prevent physical damage and contamination.
