Tanged Graphite IBC PN6
When a seal fails in a chemical plant or refinery, the consequences go far beyond a minor leak. The Tanged Graphite IBC PN6 is an industrial flat gasket engineered to hold firm where ordinary gaskets fall short across extreme temperatures, aggressive media, and the relentless pressure of heavy duty industrial environments.
At its core is a spiked metal reinforcement layer that locks the graphite material in place, preventing blowout even under sustained mechanical stress. This tanged construction gives the gasket a structural backbone that soft graphite alone simply cannot provide. Pair that with a thermal range spanning -200°C to +500°C (and beyond in steam applications), and you have a sealing solution that handles everything from cryogenic pipelines to high temperature steam systems without compromise. It also stands up to strong acids, oils, and industrial gases, the kinds of media that degrade lesser materials over time.
Rated to PN6 (up to 6 bar), this gasket is purpose built for low-pressure European standard flanges. Its IBC (Inside Bolt Circle) design means it sits fully within the bolt ring, held securely in position by the flange bolts without any penetration through the gasket itself. The result is a cleaner, more reliable seal that installs predictably and performs consistently, whether it's fitted in a chemical processing line, a refinery manifold, or a heavy-duty steam distribution system.
Summary:
- Industrial flat gasket used to seal low-pressure pipe flanges
- Handles high heat and harsh chemicals
- The "IBC" style fits inside the bolt circle of the flange, "PN6" means it is rated for low pressure up to 6 bar
- Tanged means it has a spiked metal core for extra strength
- Handles extreme heat from -200°C up to +500°C (and higher in steam)
- Resists strong acids, oils, and industrial gases
- Built to fit standard low-pressure European pipe flanges (Pressure Nominal 6)
- Sits entirely inside the circle of bolts
Applications:
Commonly used in;
- Chemical plants
- Refineries
- Heavy duty steam systems
