We take great pride in having achieved universal acceptance for providing gaskets used in sealing applications where extreme mechanical and thermal performance demands are considered routine. There are many companies in the sealing industry. Very few can boost the quality of products, quality of service and quality of people found at Champion Jointings Pvt. Ltd.
Description:
These Gaskets are certified for emission control applications. Spitmaan Gaskets will seal flanges where temperature, pressure, vibration or flow rates are beyond the capability of conventional jointing materials.
They are wound in V- section metal strip and a softer filler material so that flange faces are presented with a spiral of alternate metal/ filler layers.
Spiral Wound Gasket Principle:
The spiral wound gasket function is based on the metal strip winding / filler relatioinship and the flange surfaces. Flange surface roughness should be approximately Ra 3.2 um. Spiral wound gaskets can be used with flanges having a larger surface roughness, but the bolt loads should be increased to ensure proper function of the gasket.
As the gasket is compressed during mounting, the soft filler material "flows" into the irregularities of the flange faces. The metal strip winding with the filler material ensures the strength and elasticity of the gasket. If the gasket has a PTFE filler it must have an inner ring since PTFE permits no further compression. The inner ring shall prevent the gasket from springing open and penetration of the flowing PTFE into the pipeline. The larger the surface roughness on the flange face, the larger the surface load required permitting a flow of the PTFE.

Typical applications:
Applications include Oil Refineries, Chemical, Petrochemical, Marine, Power Plants, Pulp, Pipelines, Pressure vessels on steam, metallurgical, nuclear, and hydraulic plants including heat exchangers. Spitmaan gaskets are recommended for flange joints where bolt loading is limited.
Prime Features:

• Gaskets are made to a wide variety of sizes and shapes.
• Combinations of metal winding strip and filler are selected to suit the fluid media and other operating conditions.
• Quick to install and remove.
• Operate at temperatures from cryogenic upto 650 ° C. (Can be increased for specific applications)
• System pressures from high vacuum to over 2500 psi.  (Can be increased for specific applications)
• Support rings, inside and/ or outside of spiral winding, make gasket suitable for high line pressure on flat or raised flange faces.

Specification Compliances:
Spitmaan gaskets with graphite and PTFE fillers meet emission control requirements.
Gaskets are manufactured in accordance with all relevant gasket standards to suit flange designations:
ASME B 16.20a: 1994, ASME B 16.5, ASME B16.5 Series A (MSS- SP 44), ASME B16.5 Series B (ASME B16.47 supersedes API 605), IS 7719: 2013, DIN & JIS.

Important:
Under no circumstances should flange sealing surfaces be machined in a manner that tool marks would extend radially across the sealing surface. Such tool marks are practically impossible to seal regardless of the type of gasket used.

Required Gasket Compression for Spiral Wound Gaskets Spiral Wound Gaskets with internal or external rings, i.e. Styles ‘CG’ and ‘CGI’ can be compressed to the ring thickness, if necessary. This will not damage the gasket or affect the sealing performance and the ring is provided as a compression limiting stop.
Hints of Installation and Maintenance:
When installing a Spiral Wound Gasket, check the dimensions of the Gaskets for use between pipe and pressure vessel flanges. The procedure is as follows
Measure ID of flange contact face.
Measure Gasket ID. If Gasket ID is not 1/8″ larger than flange ID, do not use it unless it can be installed perfectly centered.
A Spiral Wound Gasket does not have the same feel as other Metallic or Non-Metallic Gaskets during the bolting-up. It’s different-because it gives a little bit under each bolt as it is tightened. It is therefore important to tighten the bolts in small steps in proper sequence as shown hereunder. Final tightening must be uniform with each bolt pulling same load. This will guarantee a trouble free joint. If not uniform, the joint may leak-particularly after it has been in hot service. Tighten the bolts after 24 hours and again a week later.
Gasket Selection:
Ensure that the correct style of gasket has been selected for the appropriate application.
Spiral Wound Gaskets are one of the best all-around seals which offer a low-cost solution that has the ability to handle temperature and pressure fluctuations. Multiple plies of metal and filler in the spiral form create a barrier that reduces the possibility of leaks.
Be certain that the gasket you order is as resistant as possible to the media, the temperature application and the working pressure involved. Check the chemical compatibility of the metal as well as the filler material for the media to be sealed. As a general rule, the Inner Ring and the metal used in the spiral winding should be similar to the flange material. The compressibility of flexible graphite makes it an excellent filler material for metallic gaskets. Flexible graphite may be used in services with temperatures up to 1200 °F (650 °C), though it should not be used with strong oxidizers such as nitric or sulphuric acid. PTFE filler material provides excellent chemical resistance at temperatures below 500 °F (260 °C). In accordance with ASME B16.20, an inner ring is required when using Conventional PTFE filler materials, in order to protect the winding from radial buckling.

Manufactured in Accordance with ASME B16.20:
Spiral wound gaskets— made with an alternating combination of preformed metal and soft filler materials which form a very effective seal when compressed between two flanges. A v-shaped crown centered in the metal strip acts as a spring, giving gaskets greater resiliency under varying conditions. Filler and wire material can be changed to accommodate different chemical compatibility requirements. Fire safety can be assured by choosing flexible graphite as the filler material. If the load available to compress a gasket is limited, gasket construction and dimensions can be altered to provide an effective seal. A spiral wound gasket may include a centering ring, an inner ring or both. The outer centering ring centers the gasket within the flange and acts as a compression limiter, while the inner ring provides additional radial strength. The inner ring also reduces flange erosion and protects the sealing element. Resiliency and strength make spiral wound gaskets an ideal choice under a variety of conditions and applications. Widely used throughout refineries and chemical processing plants, spiral wound gaskets are also effective for power generation, pulp and paper, aerospace, and a variety of valves and specialty applications.

As set forth in ASME B16.20, all PTFE filled spiral wound gaskets will be supplied with inner rings. In addition, the following higher pressure class spirals will be supplied with inner rings for all filler material:

Nominal Pipe Size	Pressure Rating
NPS 4” and above	25 Mpa
NPS 12” and above	10 Mpa
NPS 24” and above	6 Mpa
NPS 26” to 60”	All

Starting in May 2008, the metricated edition of this standard recommends the use of inner rings for all graphite filled spiral wound gaskets. However, these gaskets may be specified without inner rings by the purchaser. Both styles will still be stamped ASME B16.20 compliant on the outer guide ring.
Style Spiral Wound:
Suitable for tongue and groove, male-female, or groove-to-flat face flanges. Spiral winding only contains preformed metal and soft filler material. Available with Centering (Outer) and Inner Rings. However, these gaskets are also supplied without rings on special request by customers especially in case of 3.20 mm thickness.
Flange Inspection:
Ensure flange faces are clean and free from imperfections which could be detrimental to the sealing performance. The flange faces shall be in a good condition and with a turned surface finish within the following range Ra 3.2 to 6.3 micrometres (125 to 250 micro inches).
Strips:
