We Are Tanged Insert Graphite Gasket Manufacturer & Supplier in India. Tanged graphite gaskets are graphite sheet sealing materials made from very pure exfoliated graphite flake, with or without a reinforcing metallic core. The typical product has a carbon content of 98%, while for nuclear uses it is 99.85%. Tanged graphite gasket laminates from Goodrich Gasket are ideal for moderately high temperature/high pressure gasket applications with a variety of media. Graphite foils can be bonded to the reinforcing core mechanically or with adhesives.
Reinforced graphite gaskets are suitable for sealing against steam and most other media, with the exception of extremely oxidizing chemicals. They are suggested for usage at 450°C and pressures up to 2900 psi. Because there are no rubber or polymeric binders in these gaskets, they are employed in demanding sectors such as petrochemicals and refineries. This, in turn, guarantees that the gasket stress exerted during installation remains constant during service. Though graphite-based products are resistant to most chemicals, it is critical in the chemical service industry to consider any possible reaction between chemical medium and reinforcing metallic core, as graphite is susceptible to attack by nitric acid or sulfuric acid at certain concentrations and temperatures.
