Graphite

Graphite Ring Gaskets

GFS Graphite materials, including Garlock Graph-Lock, are composed of pure, exfoliated flake material. These materials excel in extreme conditions and withstands high temperatures, high pressures, and aggressive chemicals. Graphite materials also provide excellent resistance and is proven to be fire-safe.

Graphite gasketing provides a reliable seal as it seals easily under moderate bolt load, offers superior torque retention, retains dimensional stability in high temperatures and seals tightly, even during pressure fluctuations.

Flexible graphite is manufactured in such a manner that no organic or inorganic binders and fillers are introduced — the end product is essentially pure graphite with outstanding physical properties. The insertion of wire mesh, stainless steel foil, and tanged metal inserts increase strength and ease of handling.

Optimizing gasket performance can be a very complicated process.  If you require the input or design assistance of a GFS engineer for your application, please contact GFS here.
