THE FLEXPRO™GASKET IS COMPRISED OF A CONCENTRICALLY SERRATED SOLID METAL CORE WITH A SOFT, CONFORMABLE SEALING MATERIAL BONDED TO EACH FACE.
The soft facing material provides low stress gasket seating, while the serrated geometry of the metal core enhances sealing performance by inducing stress concentrations on the sealing surfaces. The serrations minimize lateral movement of the facing material, while the metal core provides rigidity and blowout resistance.
The FLEXPRO gasket exhibits excellent compressibility and recovery characteristics, maintaining joint tightness under pressure and temperature fluctuations, temperature differential across the flange face, flange rotation, bolt stress relaxation, and creep. Suitable from vacuum to extremely high pressure applications.
