The ability to recover under different weights is the requirement of a gasket. The consequences of different temperature and pressure, the temperature difference throughout the flange face, together with flange rotation, bolt stress relaxation and creep, demand a gasket with adequate flexibility and recovery to maintain a seal under variable and uneven loading. Spiral wound gasket can meet all these requirements.

Spiral wound gasket has become very well-liked. Spiral wound gasket is available in different types and sizes. Spiral wound gasket may be made-up of any metal that’s available in thin strip and can be welded. So, it can be used against almost every corrosive medium dependent upon the choice of the metal and filler. Spiral wound gasket might be use at the temperature vary from cryogenic to approximately 2000 Fahrenheit.

Spiral wound gasket is flexible and strong than any other type of metallic gasket. Spiral wound gasket Malaysia may be made with different densities like relatively low density gasket for vacuum service up to very high density gaskets has a seating stress of 30,000 psi.

Spiral wound gasket is sized to ensure the spiral wound component is fixed between flange surfaces. If it sticks out beyond a raised face or into a flange bore, mechanical breakdown and leakage might occur. A spiral wound gasket is produced by spirally winding a preformed steel strip and filler on the outer edge of metal winding mandrels.

Spiral wound gasket is used in the applications like pressure and pipelines vessels on steam, petrochemical, nuclear, marine and hydraulic plants. Spiral wound gasket is manufactured in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, it is quick to set up and remove. It support rings inside and outside the spiral which makes gasket suitable for high pipeline pressures on flat or raised flange faces. The metal strip and filler are chosen to suit the particular fluid media and working conditions.

Ring joint gaskets are metallic sealing rings suitable for high pressure and high temperature applications and are fitted in ring groove type flanges. They are widely used in the oil and petrochemical industry and in valves and pipe work. Choice of material could also be determined to suit higher temperatures and aggressive media. There are three kinds of ring type joint. These are R, RX and BX.

R type ring joint gaskets can be found in oval or octagonal cross section. The oval ring matches the round and flat bottom ring groove flange while the octagonal shape fits only the modern flat bottom groove flange.

The RX kind ring joint gasket is a pressure energized version of the R octagonal gasket and fits the R type flat bottomed groove. The RX ring joint gasket has an increased height and utilizes the internal system pressure to energize and enhance the seal as internal pressure increase. Some RX ring joint have a pressure relief hole to equalize pressure both sides of the sealing faces.

The BX ring joint gaskets form a metal to metal seal on assembly and the efficiency improves as internal pressure increases. All BX ring joint gaskets have a pressure relief hole to equalize pressure throughout sealing faces.

Over these 15 years, BJ-Utex Industries (M) Sdn Bhd has slowly emerged as one of the major gaskets supplier in Malaysia. As a distributor for Garlock, Walqua, Klinger and other major brands, they distribute a wide range of Sealing and Fluid Control Products. Moreover, they also build up their house brand like K-Flex, M-Flex & T-Flex.
