Encapsulated Ring Gasket, Nominal Size: 1/2 IN, Thickness: 3/32 IN, Class 150 Pressure Class, Material: Texolon® PTFE, Maximum Pressure: 1200 PSI, Temperature Rating: -450 To 500 DEG F

Our steel reinforced pipe flange gaskets are a proprietary molded PTFE gasket featuring a stainless steel grade 304 perforated reinforcement core. Texolon gaskets were developed for sealing difficult chemical applications requiring superior cold flow and blowout resistance. The combination of corrosion resistance of void-free PTFE fluorocarbon resins with the structural strength of grade 304 perforated stainless steel provides improved operational safety by reducing the need for repeated retorquing to maintain a leak-free seal.

• The Texolon gasket is molded and oven sintered in a proprietary process totally encapsulating a 304 stainless steel perforated reinforcement core
• The stainless steel core confines the PTFE and greatly reduces the effect of creep and cold flow of the gasket within the flange
• Repeated retorquing is rarely required to maintain a tight seal
• The unique design of the molded PTFE with the stainless steel stabilizes the seal face and greatly enhances the cold flow resistance
• Testing has confirmed that the Texolon gasket experiences over one-third less stud load loss than virgin and glass filled PTFE gasket materials
• The excellent creep and cold flow resistance allows higher temperature and pressure limits
• The thickness reduction due to material flow is proportionately less

Application: For use in applications where - liquids or gases are corrosive, higher pressures are encountered, contamination must be avoided, sudden failure in a system would be hazardous, long service life is mandatory
