Description
Product Overview
The Sterling Seal Spiral Wound Gasket SSI90001500304GR150X12 is a precision‑engineered sealing solution designed for flat and raised face flanges. It features 304 stainless steel windings that provide excellent corrosion resistance and mechanical strength, while the graphite filler offers superior compressibility and thermal conductivity. The carbon steel outer ring adds structural rigidity, ensuring the gasket maintains its shape under high pressure and temperature cycles.
Each gasket is manufactured to meet ASME B16.20 identification markings, guaranteeing consistent quality and performance across all units. The spiral wound construction combines the flexibility of the filler material with the durability of the metal windings, creating a seal that can accommodate slight flange imperfections without compromising integrity. This design also helps reduce turbulent flow, improving system efficiency and extending equipment life.
With a pressure class of 150 psi and a 2.125″ ID for 1‑1/2″ pipe applications, the gasket is suitable for a wide range of industrial processes. The pack of twelve provides ample supply for multiple installations or replacement cycles, making it a cost‑effective choice for facilities that require reliable sealing components on a regular basis.
Key specifications include a package dimension of 6 × 6 × 6 inches and a weight of approximately 6 pounds per pack. The product was first made available on March 15, 2017, and has since earned a strong reputation within the industrial and scientific market segment, ranking #28 in the Spiral Wound Gaskets category on major e‑commerce platforms.
Manufactured by Lamons, a trusted name in sealing technology, this gasket benefits from rigorous quality control processes. Each unit undergoes thorough inspection to verify dimensional accuracy, material composition, and compliance with industry standards. The result is a high‑performance gasket that delivers consistent sealing performance even in demanding environments.
Usage
This gasket excels in high‑temperature, high‑pressure applications such as heat exchangers, boiler hand holes, and manholes. Its ability to withstand temperatures up to 600 °F makes it ideal for processes involving steam, hot water, or aggressive chemicals. The graphite filler’s thermal stability ensures the seal remains effective even when exposed to rapid temperature fluctuations.
In hydraulic systems, the gasket provides a reliable barrier against fluid leakage, protecting both equipment and personnel. Its spiral wound design accommodates slight misalignments between flange faces, reducing the risk of flange erosion and inward buckling during operation. This flexibility also simplifies installation, as the gasket can conform to minor surface irregularities without losing sealing capability.
For manufacturers of industrial machinery, the gasket offers a dependable solution for maintaining system integrity across a variety of operating conditions. Whether used in continuous production lines or periodic maintenance shutdowns, the gasket’s durability and repeatable performance help minimize downtime and maintenance costs.
Installation best practices include fully compressing the gasket to the guide ring, ensuring clean and undamaged flange faces, and selecting appropriate bolting materials. Applying bolt lubrication can further enhance sealing performance by reducing friction and allowing even torque distribution across the flange assembly.
