Manufactured from flexible graphite foil mechanically clinched to a 0.004" (0.1 mm) thick stainless steel tanged (perforated) metal sheet - SS316/316L insert. It has good compressibility and resilience, excellent sealing property for microscopic surface irrgeularities and long working life. Recommended to use in pipework and vessels in the chemical and petrochemical industries and power stations.
