CFF1501.5IN.031.150 - 1501 Style Expanded PTFE (soft) Full Face Gasket, 5" Pipe Size, 1/32" Thick, 150# (Min Qty: 1)

Description:

These gaskets are manufactured from sheets of multi-directionally expanded pure PTFE. Expanded PTFE gaskets are non-toxic, inherently clean, are dimensionally stable and have an exceptional mechanical strength, allowing for minimal creep at high temperatures. Expanded PTFE does not get wider when compressed, allowing safe use when sealing narrow flange faces. This superior malleability avoids irregularities within the sealing surface and negates the need for repairs in small damages.

When it comes to sealing flanges, whether raised or flat face flanges, there are two type of gasket shapes - Ring Gaskets and Full Face Gaskets. Full Face Gaskets are similar to Ring gaskets, as they too are used to seal raised flanges, however Full Face are designed with a specified number of holes for securing bolts to pass through, thus making alignment easier and clamping easier. Full Face gaskets also have the added benefit of filling the hap between the bolting surfaces. The disadvantage is that the joint must be completely dissembled for installation.

Typical Applications

Expanded PTFE gaskets are suitable with all types of flanges, suitable with almost every type of media and ideal for applications requiring a tough demand on purity or temperature. It is a universally employable gasket material that is inherently clean and non-toxic.
