Precision Manufacturing Process

Manufactured of alternate piles of pre-formed metal and a soft, non-metallic filler, spiral wound gaskets offer a precision-engineered, yet low cost solution that combines fire resistance and the ability to handle temperature and pressure fluctuations.

  • 1

    V-Shaped Metal Strip Formation

    Pre-formed metal strips are precisely shaped to provide spring-like properties under load.

  • 2

    Spiral Winding Process

    Metal strip and non-metallic filler are spirally wound together with precise density control.

  • 3

    Density Optimization

    The density of the spiral gasket is varied to meet virtually any sealing requirement.

  • 4

    Material Selection

    Filler and winding materials are selected based on chemical compatibility requirements.
