Introduction
FIRSTAND FOREMOST

Theconcept of spiral wound gasket construction was originated by Flexitallic

in 1912, inaugurating the beginning of a new era in safe, effective sealing.
The primary purpose for this development was the increasingly severe
temperatures and pressuresused by U.S.refineryoperators in the first half
of the century.

The necessity for a gasket to have the ability to recaver cannot be over
emphasized. The effects of pressure and temperature fluctuations, the
temperature differential across the flange face, together with bolt stress
relaxationand creep,demand a gasket with adequate flexibility and recovery
to maintain a seal even under these varyingserviceconditions.The Flexitallic
Spiral Wound Gasketis the precision engineeredsolution to such problems,
meeting the most exacting conditions of both temperature and pressurein
flanged joints and similar assemblies and against virtually everyknown
corrosiveand toxic media.

This publication is designed to facilitate the specification and ordering of

standard FlexitallicSpiral Wound Gaskets.Dimensional data for the basic
styles - StyleCG,StyleCGI,Style R and Style RIRis detailed on Table l-21.

STYLECG-RJ& CGI-RJSPIRALWOUNDGASKETS
Flexitallic has developed a series of special style CGand
CGIspiral wound gaskets designed to replace standard
oval or octagonal API ring joint gaskets. The designation
for these gaskets are CG-RJand CGI-RJrespectively.
Flexitallic recommends that CGI-RJgaskets should be
employed for pressure classes 900 and above, and for
operating temperatures above 300°C. Thesegaskets are
intended for use as replacement maintenance items.
If style CGand CGIspiral wound gaskets are to be used
on new applications, it is advisable to use standard raised
face flanges. CG-RJand CGI-RJgaskets can be supplied
to suit nominal bore sizes from 5” to 24” and pressure
ratings up to class 1500. All CG-RJand CGI-RJgaskets
are 0.175 inches (4.5mm) thick fitted with 0.125 inches
(3.2mm) thick solid metal rings.

Note: Clearance dimensions between flange faces should be checked on close coupling pipework prior to
installation of CG-RJand CGI-RJgaskets to ensure that optimum compression con be achieved without over
stressing bolts and flanges.

It is the users responsibility to ensure that there is sufficient clearance between the flange bore and ring groove for
proper seating of the gasket.

Dimensions are listed below for CG-RJspiral wound gaskets Flexitallic’s technical department should be consulted
for CGI-RJgasket sizes.

ASSEMBLIES

Style 625 gaskets were originally designed by Flexitallic for clamp-type

closures in aircraft, but are now widely used wherever space limitations
indicate the need for a wafer-thin or narrow flange spiral wound gasket.
Style 625 gaskets are manufactured to nominal thickness of .0625”, with
compression to ,050” - ,055”.
Style 625 gaskets embody a11of the exclusive features of Flexitallic design for
keeping compression values in balance with bolting and providing correct
resiliency to compensate for variable stresses encountered in service.
Style 625 gaskets can be manufactured from any combination of materials
shown on page 7. Please check with Flexitallic for manufacturing limitations
on Style 625 gasket larger than 8” I.D. or 3/E” radial width.

Flexitallic style HX-RIRspiral wound gaskets are primarily designed for TEMAmale and female flanges and are
custom built to suit the design conditions of individual heat exchanger vessels.These gaskets are available in an
extensive range of materials.

The style HX-R/R spiral wound gasket incorporates several special features, as follows:

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

2. A spiral wound sealing element to ensure a positive seal under fluctuating temperature and pressure conditions.

3. A solid metal inner ring to protect the sealing element and act as a compression stop. As an optional extra,
inner rings can also be supplied with nylon location screws to secure the gasket to the flange on assembly

4. Can be supplied with pass partition bars in any configuration. Pass bars are secured to the inner ring and can
be supplied in either solid metal or double jacketed construction.

The carrier ring concept consists of a solid stalntess
steel ring with a machined recess in each face. Spiral
wound gaskets are then located in each of the
machined recesses.

CROSS-SECTION
THROUGH
CARRIERRINGASSEMBLY

This type of arrangement has been successfully used in

sealing problematic flanges and vessels in the nuclear,
power and petrochemical industries.The major benefits
of the carrier ring assembly are due to the double spiral
wound gasket being present. This results in a very high
recovery gasket, ensuring that the bolt load is
maintained on the sealing elements when arduous
pressure/temperature cycling occurs in service, thus
maintaining a seal.

Carrier rings can be used on fiat face, raised face or

tongue and groove type flange, as well as non standard
flange configurations. They can be supplied for both
small and large diameter nominal bores up to class
2500 pressurerating. Canterrings are also tailor made
to suit specific flange arrangements and design
conditions.

FLEXITALLICSTYLEMCS SPIRAL WOUND GASKETS

In keeping with our tradition of taking a leadership role in the gasket industry,we are pleased to introduce the
Flexrtallrcstyle MCSspiral wound gasket for use on boiler manhole cover assemblres.The style MCSgasket ISan
l250” exclusive Flexitallic design, consrsting of a Flexitallic spiral wound gasket with an integral solid metal inner ring.
i The spiral wound sealing element provides resilience, strength, blowout resistance, and superior sealability. The
solrd metal inner ring prevents over compression of the gasket, which IS especially important on high pressure
boilers. In addition, the inner ring provides stability and facilitates proper positioning of the gasket on the cover
which prevents pinching, shouldering, and other gasket damage resulting from misalignment, irregular plate
contours and fillets.

1 Flexitallic style MCS spiral wound gaskets are available in a wide range of materials for standard, as well as
special design manhole cover assemblies, in pressure classes of O-499 psi, O-999 psi, and 1000 psi and higher.

The service conditions under which a FLEXITALLIC

minimum level of tightness dictate the density of the
gasket.
Gaskets that have the identical inside and outside
diameters can be either hard or soft as shown opposite.
