Description
Product Overview
The Sterling Seal 90001304GR150X24 is a precision‑engineered spiral wound gasket designed for demanding industrial applications. Constructed from 304 stainless steel, the outer layers provide exceptional corrosion resistance and structural integrity, while the flexible graphite filler core offers superior compressibility and thermal conductivity. This combination ensures a leak‑free seal even under fluctuating temperatures and high pressures up to class 150. The gasket conforms to ASME B16.20 identification markings, guaranteeing compatibility with a wide range of flange standards. Its yellow body with a distinctive grey stripe aids quick visual identification during installation and maintenance, reducing downtime and the risk of mis‑placement.
Usage
Designed for 1″ pipe connections, this gasket excels in hydraulic and pneumatic systems where reliability is paramount. It is commonly employed in heat exchangers, boiler hand holes, and manholes, where high‑temperature, high‑pressure conditions are routine. The flexible graphite filler accommodates differential expansion between mating flanges, preventing flange erosion and inward buckling. Installation is straightforward: ensure flange faces are clean, apply appropriate bolt lubrication, and fully compress the gasket to its guide ring if present. The gasket’s robust construction also makes it suitable for chemical processing equipment, oil and gas pipelines, and marine applications where exposure to corrosive media is a concern.
