CRG1501.1800.031.300 - 1501 Style Expanded PTFE (soft) Ring Gasket 18" Pipe Size, 1/32" Thick, 300# (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.

Ring Gaskets are positioned inside of the flange holts and around the pipe bore. They can also be used within a raised face design, where it sits on the raised surface. Ring Gaskets reuqire less material and less cutting and can be installed without completely dissembling the joint. The disadvantage is the gasket can be harder to align and clamp.

Applications

Expanded PTFE gaskets are suitable with all types of flanges, has a wide temperature tolerance range, is suitable with almost all types of media and is an ideal sealing solution for applications requiring a high demand on purity. It is a universally employable gasket material that is inherently clean and non-toxic.
