Graphite gaskets
In today’s industrial landscape, the search for reliable solutions to ensure sealing and durability in extreme conditions is a priority for many companies. In this context, CMD’s expanded graphite gaskets stand out as an effective response, offering optimal performance in both static and dynamic conditions, even in the presence of high sliding speeds, temperatures and pressures.
Expanded graphite is a material with extraordinary properties, characterized by a lamellar structure that gives it remarkable mechanical and chemical resistance, as well as high thermal and electrical conductivity. These characteristics make it particularly suitable for industrial applications such as graphite gaskets, where sealing and resistance to external agents are fundamental.
CMD’s graphite gaskets versatility and performance
The graphite gaskets, specifically designed for applications on industrial valves, are an ideal solution to ensure maximum sealing and durability over time. Also in the paper and food industry, where hygiene and safety are priorities, expanded graphite gaskets are widely used thanks to their resistance to contamination and the ability to maintain high performance even during intense work cycles.
CMD’s graphite gaskets represent a versatile and highly reliable solution, capable of improving the efficiency and reliability of industrial processes in various sectors. Thanks to their extraordinary mechanical, thermal and chemical properties, they are confirmed as the ideal choice to face the most complex technical challenges.
Reinforced graphite for high temperature applications
Typically, tanged graphite gaskets are used in conditions where high resistance to high temperatures and pressures is required. Made with expanded graphite reinforced with metal inserts, these graphite gaskets combine flexibility and robustness, guaranteeing superior performance even in harsh operating environments.
The metal inserts – available in materials such as nickel, steel and aluminum – provide greater stability and mechanical resistance, further improving the performance of the reinforced graphite gaskets. These graphite gaskets are particularly appreciated in steam systems, high pressure plants and high temperature applications, where safety and reliability are fundamental.
Applications of graphite gaskets in industrial sectors
Graphite gaskets are used successfully in a wide range of industrial sectors. In the chemical and petrochemical sector, for example, where working conditions can be extreme due to the presence of corrosive substances and high temperatures, graphite gaskets represent a reliable option to ensure the sealing of piping systems and containers.
In the oil & gas sector, these graphite seals are widely used, especially in offshore applications. The graphite gaskets offer resistance to corrosion and compression, ensuring the sealing of joints and valves even in the most demanding conditions.
In the energy sector, including geothermal applications, graphite gaskets are used in heat exchangers and steam generators. Their ability to withstand high temperatures and steam pressure guarantees efficiency and reliability even in critical conditions.
