Inorganic fibers with a nitrile binder.
Features and Benefits
Heat and oxidation resistance
- Inorganic, asbestos-free fibers offer superior performance in saturated* and superheated steam*
- Thermally stable fibers retain effective seal even during thermal cycling to 750°F (400°C)
Long-lasting seal
- Unique manufacturing process minimizes cold flow and creep relaxation problems
Versatile
- Ideal for standard ANSI flanged connectors, as well as turbine crossover piping connectors
- Multiple applications in power generation, chemical processing, hydrocarbon processing, and other industries
Media
- Steam*
- Oils
- Grease
- Water
- Heat transfer fluids (Contact Garlock Engineering with specific transfer fluid application)
*Minimum recommended assembly stress = 4,800psi. Preferred assembly stress = 6,000-10,000psi. Gasket thickness of 1/16" strongly preferred. Retorque the bolts/studs prior to pressurizing the assembly. For saturated steam above 150psig, consult Garlock Engineering.
