Tanged Graphite IBC PN10/40
When a seal fails in a high pressure steam line or a chemical processing unit, the consequences go far beyond a leaking joint. The Tanged Graphite IBC PN10/40 gasket is engineered for exactly these environments, where extreme temperatures, aggressive media, and relentless pressure demand a sealing solution that simply will not give way.
At its core, this gasket combines expanded graphite sheeting with a spiked (tanged) stainless steel reinforcement layer. The graphite provides exceptional thermal resistance and chemical compatibility, conforming reliably to flange surfaces even under intense heat cycling. The tanged metal core adds the mechanical backbone that pure graphite alone cannot offer preventing blowout under high-pressure surges and maintaining structural integrity where other gaskets degrade or creep.
Rated to PN10/40, this gasket is fully compatible with metric standard flanges handling pressures up to 40 bar, covering an extensive range of industrial piping configurations. Its Inner Bolt Circle (IBC) design positions the gasket entirely within the bolt pattern of standard raised-face pipe flanges, ensuring a secure, even compression load that maximizes seal performance without risking flange damage.
In practice, this translates to dependable sealing across some of the most demanding applications in heavy industry, high-temperature steam lines in power generation facilities, corrosive fluid systems in petrochemical plants, and high-cycle mechanical joints in pumps, compressors, and exhaust systems subject to thermal shock. Where operational continuity and safety margins are non-negotiable, the Tanged Graphite IBC PN10/40 delivers the leak-proof reliability that critical infrastructure requires.
Summary:
- Used to create a leak proof seal between bolted pipe flanges, valves, and machinery
- Handles extreme temperatures, high pressurs, and aggressive chemicals in heavy industries like petrochemical processing and steam generation
- Pressure rated PN10 or PN40
- Expanded graphite sheet reinforced with a spiked (tanged) metal core (usually stainless steel) that adds mechanical strength and blowout resistance
Applicaitons:
Common uses include;
- Sealing high temperture and high pressure steam lines without degrading
