FLEXSEAL® Spiral Wound Gasket

FLEXSEAL® Spiral wound gaskets are made with an alternate combination of preformed metal wire and
soft filler material(s) that forms a highly effective seal when compressed between two flanges. A v-
shaped crown centered in the metal strip acts as a spring, giving the gasket greater resiliency under
varying conditions.

Identification (per ASME B16.20)

Configurations

SW Spiral windings only designed for tongue & groove, male-female, and
groove-to-flat flanges.

SWI - Spiral windings and an inner ring* designed for tongue & groove, male-
female, groove-to-flat flanges were the ID is open to the process stream.

RW Spiral windings and an outer centering ring that is used to locate the gasket,
provide additional radial strength and can act as a compression limiter.

RWI** - Spiral windings, an outer centering ring that is used to locate the gasket,
provide additional radial strength and can act as a compression limiter, and an
inner ring* to reduce/prevent radial buckling.
*NOTE Spiral wound gasket inner ring metallurgy is typically the same as the winding material.
**NOTE - ASME B16.20 mandates inner rings
gaskets in Class
ordered in compliance with ASME B16.20 are sold with inner rings (FLEXSEAL RWI) unless otherwise specified by
the customer at the time of order.
