CONTENTS
Driven by the industry’s
need for safe, effective
sealing solutions for
increasingly demanding
applications, Flexitallic
invented the spiral
wound gasket in 1912.
SPIRAL WOUND
GASKETS
First and Foremost
The concept of spiral wound gasket
construction was originated by Flexitallic
in 1912, starting a new era in safe,
effective sealing. The primary purpose
for this development was the increasingly
severe temperatures and pressures used
by U.S. refinery operators in the first half
of the 20th century.
The necessity for a gasket to have
the ability to recover cannot be over
emphasised. The effects of pressure
and temperature fluctuations, the
temperature differential across the
flange face, together with bolt stress
relaxation and creep, demand a gasket
with adequate flexibility and recovery
to maintain a seal even under these
varying service conditions. The Flexitallic
Spiral Wound Gasket is the precision
engineered solution to such problems,
meeting the most exacting conditions
of both temperature and pressure in
flanged joints and similar assemblies
and against virtually every known
corrosive and toxic media.

For high pressure/
temperature duty,
also for gaskets with
PTFE filler, corrosive
or fluctuating pressure
or temperature service
conditions.
Style CG – Is comprised of a
sealing element and outer metal
ring. The outer ring assists in
locating the gasket on the mating
flange faces and prevents over
compression of the sealing
element ensuring optimum sealing
performance. Style CG gaskets are
suitable for use on raised and flat
faced flanged connections. Style CG
gaskets are suitable for use in mild
to moderate service conditions.
Style CGI – In addition to an outer
metal ring the CGI style gasket is fitted
with an inner metal ring, constraining
the sealing element on both internal
and external diameters. The inner ring
functions as an additional compression
stop and prevents inner buckling of the
sealing element. It also creates a
physical barrier between the sealing
element and process stream shielding
from heat and media while preventing
erosion. Style CGI gaskets are suitable
for use on raised and flat faced flanged
connections and moderate to severe
service conditions.
Style R – Is comprised of a sealing
element, additional plies of metal
are used at the start and
termination of the winding process
improving stability and sealing
performance. Unlike other styles
of spiral wound gasket compression
of the sealing element is controlled
by the use of the correct flange
face configuration, style R gaskets
are suitable for use on tongue and
groove, male and female and flat
to groove flanged connections.
Style RIR – Is comprised of a
sealing element and inner metal ring.
The inner ring functions as both
a compression stop and creates a
physical barrier between the sealing
element and media stream. The inner
ring is also designed to reduce
turbulent flow, minimising flange
erosion and prevents the build up
debris in the annular space between
the pipe bore and internal diameter
of the gasket. Style RIR gaskets are
suitable for use on male and female
(spigot and recess) flanged
connections.

GENERAL NOTES
All dimensions are in mm amd inches.
*It is essential that Style R gaskets are fitted with a compression stop. Without a correctly dimensioned stop the gasket can easily be over-compressed resulting in failure. To provide a
compression stop the depth of the tongue, groove or recess should be controlled to provide optimum compressed gasket thickness with metal to metal contact on the flange faces.
There are three types of Style R gaskets:
(a) Style R-1 indicates gaskets for use with
large male and female flanges.*
(b) Style R-3 indicates gaskets for use with
large tongue and groove flanges.
(c) Style R-4 indicates gaskets for use with
small tongue and groove flanges.
*As a general rule, the use of Flexitallic Spiral
Wound Gaskets with small male and female
flange facings is not recommended.
Dimensional limitations established by the
proportions of the small tongue and groove
facings limit the possibility of increasing gasket
dimensions to improve the load carrying capacity
in the higher pressure series. For this reason, it is
suggested that large tongue and groove facings
be selected for new construction when class 900,
1500 and 2500 flanges are to be used.

Flexitallic dimensions for use with Male & Female and Tongue & Groove
ASME 16.5 & BS EN1092
Standard Style R gaskets embody all the
exclusive features of Flexitallic design for
keeping compression values in balance with
bolting and providing adequate resilience to
compensate for variable stresses encountered
in service. Standard Style R gaskets are

Style R-4 gaskets may be compressed an
additional amount when exposed to the higher
bolt loads, but not to the degree that the gasket
will be crushed due to the radial support
provided by the confining groove.
Special Style R gaskets are adaptable to
non-standard flanges and can be designed
and manufactured according to specifications
for high and low pressure applications and for
severe corrosive conditions.
When ordering special Style R gaskets for
non-standard flanges and for special
applications,contact the Applications

STYLE CG-RJ & CGI-RJ GASKETS
For use with ASME B16.5 and API 6A Ring Joint Flanges
CG-RJ and CGI-RJ Spiral Wound Gaskets
are designed for use, as a replacement
maintenance item, of standard oval and
octagonal ring joint gaskets. These gaskets are
available for NPS ½ to 24 and pressure classes
150 to 1500. Gasket thickness is 0.175" (4.5mm)
and the outer ring thickness is 0.125" (3.2mm).
Style CGI-RJ gaskets are fitted with an inner
ring 0.125 (3.2mm) thick. Flexitallic recommends
CGI-RJ gaskets for pressure classes 900 and
above, and where operating temperatures are
above 572 F (300 C). Consult our technical
department for CGI-RJ gasket dimensions.
GENERAL NOTES
All dimensions in inches.
Note: Clearance dimensions between flange faces
should be checked on close coupling pipework
prior to installation of CG-RJ and CGI-RJ gaskets to
ensure that optimum compression can be achieved
without over stressing bolts and or flanges.
It is the user’s responsibility to ensure that there
is sufficient clearance between the flange bore
and ring groove for proper seating of the gasket.
Dimensions are listed below for CG-RJ Spiral
Wound Gaskets. Flexitallic’s technical department
should be consulted for CGI-RJ and API gasket
sizes.

NOTES
SO = slip on and threaded; WN = welding neck; SW = standard wall.
a
Inner rings are required for Class 900 gaskets, NPS 24; Class 1500 gaskets, NPS 12 through NPS 24; and Class 2500 gaskets; NPS 4 through NPS 12. These inner rings may extend
into the pipe bore a maximum of 0.06 inch (1.5 millimeters) under the worst combination of maximum bore, eccentric installation, and additive tolerances.
b
In these sizes the gasket is suitable for welding-neck flange with a standard-wall bore, if the gasket and the flanges are assembled concentrically. This also applies to nozzle.
It is the user's responsibility to determine if the gasket is satisfactory for a flange of any larger bore.
c
Gaskets in these sizes are suitable for slip-on flanges only if the gaskets and flanges are assembled concentrically.
d
A nozzle is a long welding neck; the bore equals the flange NPS.
e
An NPS 24 gasket is suitable for nozzles.

Assembly techniques.
Gasket Style Selection
Ensure that the correct style of
gasket has been selected for the
appropriate application.
All PTFE filled Spiral Wound Gaskets
for raised face and flat face flanges
should utilise an inner and outer
guide ring. When using Style ‘R’
Spiral Wound Gaskets ensure that
a compression stop is incorporated
into the flange arrangement.
Required Gasket Compression
For optimum sealing performance
Flexitallic Spiral Wound Gaskets
should be compressed to the
thicknesses shown in the table left.
Spiral Wound Gaskets with internal
or external guide rings i.e. Style CG
and CGI, should be fully compressed
to the guide ring. This will not
damage the gasket or affect the
sealing performance, since the rings
are provided as a compression
limiting stop.
Flanges
Check that the flange faces are clean, in good
condition and with a turned surface finish within
the following range Ra 3.2 to 6.3 micro metres
(125 to 250 micro inches).
Bolting
Ensure that the correct bolting material is utilised
to suit the operating conditions, taking into
account the limitation of low yield strength bolts.
Ensure that the use of bolt lubrication is employed.
For torque tightening methods Flexitallic
recommends the use of molybdenum disulphide
bolt lubrication or similar nickel based compound.
Do not apply any lubricants when using PTFE coated
fasteners. Consult with the coating manufacturers
for product specific friction coefficients
.
Tightening Procedures
Controlled tightening procedures should be used
when installing Spiral Wound Gaskets. Flexitallic
recommends that the use of hydraulic tensioning
equipment be considered where possible for
bolt diameters 1-
1
4" and above. Please refer to
Flexitallic's Design Criteria for further technical
information.

INSTALLATION
PROCEDURES
In order to ensure the
optimum service life of
metallic gasket materials,
it is not only important to
choose the correct material
for the application but to
install and maintain it
correctly.
These guidelines are
designed to assist the
end user in the assembly
of gasket materials.
Installation of Metallic Gaskets
Flange Condition
Remove the old gasket and check
that the flange faces are clean and free
from indentations and scoring. Radial
(cross face) scoring is a particular
concern and can lead to joint leakage
For spiral wound gaskets, a surface
finish of between 3.2μm to 6.3μm Ra
(125 to 250 micro inch) is
recommended. Use a surface
comparator to check flange finishes.
Check that the flange faces are parallel
or that the pipework is sufficiently
flexible to allow the flanges to be
pulled parallel and concentric without
excessive bolt loads.
Gasket
Always use a new gasket
Check that the gasket is in good
condition and that the dimensions are
correct for the class and size of the
flanges
Do not use jointing compounds, grease
or lubricants with metallic gasket
materials. These compounds can affect
the contact friction between the gasket
and the flange and can lead to creep
and premature joint failure
If there is a requirement to fix the
gasket to the flange prior to assembly
(e.g. large vertical flanges) then a light
dusting of spray adhesive e.g. 3M 77
spray may be used. The adhesive
should be applied sparingly and in
isolated areas, and must be compatible
with the fluid medium.
Bolting
Ensure the bolt and nut threads are clean.
Apply bolt lubrication to the bolt and nut
threads and to the face of the nut to be
tightened. Do not apply grease or bolt
lubricant to the joint face. After cleaning
and lubrication it should be possible to run
the nut along the full length of the bolt by
hand. If this is not possible the bolts and
nuts should be refurbished or replaced
Scrape, wire brush or file as necessary
the back face of each flange where the
bolt heads and nuts are to sit, ensuring
that the surfaces are clean and flat
If possible use hardened flat washers to
ensure even transfer of the load.
Installation
Ensure that the gasket is installed centrally
It is recommended that the bolts are
tightened using a controlled method such as
torque or tension. If using a torque wrench,
ensure that it is accurately calibrated
Tighten bolts in a star-like crossing
pattern in the following sequence
Finger tighten nuts
Tighten to 30% of the final load
Tighten to 60% of the final load
Tighten to full load
Make a final tightening sequence, working
around the flange, tightening each bolt in
turn until the specified torque is achieved.
After Installation
Check that the flange faces are parallel using a
suitable tool e.g. the Flange Gap Tool, which is
available to purchase via The Academy of Joint
Integrity (www.academyofjointintegrity.com)

GENERAL NOTES
Flange Diameter and Bolt Diameter dimensions are in inches.
Figures stated are for information only.
Please refer to the current version of the original standards for dimensional information.
NOTES
1. Regular facing for class 150 and 300 steel flanged fittings and companion flange standards is a 0.06in raised face. Classes 400, 600, 900, 1500, and 2500
pipe flanges and fittings are regularly furnished with a 0.25in raised face. In all cases the raised face must be added to the minimum flange thickness.
2. Regular facing for class 400, 600, 900, 1500, and 2500 flange thickness dimensions.
3. Tolerance of plus or minus 0.016in. is allowed on the inside and outside diameters of all facings.
4. For small male and female joints care should be taken in the use of these dimensions to insure that pipe used is thick enough to permit sufficient bearing
surface to prevent the crushing of the gasket. The dimensions apply particularly on lines where the joint is made on the end of the pipe. Screwed companion
flanges for small male and female joints are furnished with plain face and are threaded with American Standard Locknut Thread.
5. Gaskets for male-female and tongue-groove joints shall cover the bottom of the recess with minimum clearances taking into account the tolerances
prescribed in Note 3.

Exchanger Gaskets with Spiral Wound Outer Ring
(ALTERNATIVES HE-CG, HE-CGI)
Flexitallic special HE-CGI Gaskets with spiral wound
outer ring are primarily designed for TEMA male and
female flanges and are custom built to suit the design
conditions of individual heat exchanger vessels. These
gaskets are available in an extensive range of materials.
This style incorporates several special features,
as follows:
1. The outer wound nose to ensure correct sealing
element location in the flange recess.
2. A spiral wound sealing element to ensure a positive
seal under fluctuating temperature and pressure
conditions.
3. A solid metal inner ring to protect the sealing
element and act as a compression stop. As an
optional extra, inner rings can also be supplied with
nylon location screws to secure the gasket to the
flange on assembly.
4. Can be supplied with pass partition bars in any
configuration. Pass bars are secured to the inner ring
and can be supplied in either solid metal or double
jacketed construction.

SPECIAL APPLICATION
GASKETS
The carrier ring concept consists of a solid
metal ring with a machined recess in each
face. Spiral Wound Gaskets are then located
in each of the machined recesses.
This type of arrangement has been
successfully used in sealing problematic
flanges and vessels in the nuclear, power and
petrochemical industries. The major benefits
of the carrier ring assembly are due to the
double spiral wound gasket being present.
This results in a very high recovery gasket,
ensuring that the bolt load is maintained on
the sealing elements when arduous pressure
/ temperature cycling occurs in service, thus
maintaining a seal.
Carrier rings can be used on flat face, raised
face or tongue and groove type flange, as
well as non standard flange configurations.
They can be supplied for both small and large
diameter nominal bores up to class 2500
pressure rating. Carrier rings are also tailor
made to suit specific flange arrangements
and design conditions.

Style LS
& LSI
Low Stress Range
of Spiral Wound
Gaskets.
The LS gasket offers the same high integrity seal
associated with the spiral wound gasket however,
the LS and LSI has been designed in such a way
that compression and sealing requirements are
achieved under very low seating stresses. These
gaskets are intended for use on class 150 and 300
applications, where customers traditionally do not
use Spiral Wound Gaskets due to concerns about
exceeding allowable design stresses.
The traditional spiral wound gasket has its steel
windings protruding above the compression stop;
this requires a significant loading stress to compress
the gasket to its optimum operating thickness.
The LS and LSI gaskets have only soft Flexicarb
®
or PTFE filler protruding above metal windings and
guide ring; therefore as the gasket is compressed,
the Flexicarb
®
or PTFE filler is readily compressed
thus producing the sealing mechanism at an earlier
stage as compared to the conventionally
manufactured spiral wound gasket.
The “LSI” gasket retains more of its initial
stress or tightness, even when subjected to
high temperatures, unlike PTFE sheet gaskets.
Available in a variety of metals, engineered
to suit specific applications.

Severe cyclic conditions?
For the most demanding cyclic conditions, the
choice is Flexitallic’s Thermiculite
®
835 Spiral
Wound Gasket with Heat Treated Inconel
X-750 winding.
Differential thermal expansion and contraction
of components in a bolted joint, due to the effects
of cyclic conditions, requires that extra resiliency
be built into the joint or the gasket to compensate
for fluctuating load conditions.
Normal gasket materials do not provide sufficient
resiliency, and therefore cannot compensate for
the adverse effects of cyclic conditions. Special
Heat Treated Inconel X-750 gasket materials have
been developed by Flexitallic to ensure that joint
integrity is maintained during thermal cycles.
In OEM and End User testing comparing the
performance of standard 316L SS windings
vs. Heat Treated Inconel X-750 windings
(precipitation hardened), HT Inconel X-750
winding material significantly increased the yield
strength resulting in increased springback before
leakage, or usable recovery.
Specify Flexitallic’s proprietary precipitation
hardened Inconel X-750 windings in
applications where there are concerns about:
Cyclic conditions
Differential thermal expansion
and contraction
Radial shear
Bolt relaxation
Hot torquing

Low Emission Gasket.
The Flexitallic Low Emission gasket
is a high performance spiral wound gasket
that has been specially engineered to
exceed stringent oil and gas industry
fugitive emissions requirements, such
as those found in the Chevron Fugitive
Emissions Test (CFET).
Gaskets to suit standard ASME B16.5
and B16.47 flanged connections remain
diametrically unchanged and in this respect
are dimensionally compliant with ASME
B16.20. Enhanced sealing performance is
achieved by modification of the sealing
element. The key design features are
specification of the filler thickness range
0.36 to 0.41mm; ASME B16.20 does not
specify filler thickness and typically 0.5mm
thick is used. In addition filler protrusion is
specified to be within the range of 0.2 to
1.0mm above the metal winding; resulting
in a thicker sealing element.
Compression requirements for LE gaskets
are different from those specified in ASME
B16.20 that stipulates a compressed
sealing element
thickness for a given bolt stress
irrespective of pressure class. LE gaskets
are required to compress within specified
limits based on directly applied gasket
stress. Gaskets made to LE construction
requirements are designed to compress
to between 0.76 and 1.27mm above the
guide ring thickness when subjected to
a compressive stress of 128 MPa
(see diagram A, left).
Independent testing in accordance
with the CEFT protocol has shown that
Flexitallic LE gaskets comfortably exceed
allowable fugitive emissions leakage
levels. Leakage testing of ASME Class 150
CGI spiral wound gaskets in accordance
with the PVRC ROTT procedure shows that
Flexitallic LE gaskets require significantly
lower bolt stress to achieve a T3 tightness
class (see diagram B, below).
