Associated Gaskets is pleased to publish our new Spiral Wound Gaskets Brochure. For years, we’ve had queries about the correct gasket sizing for all manner of standard and non-standard flanges and, while we have always done our best to answer these questions, we’ve never been able to provide a reference source to help our customers. That changes with this new brochure.
The AG Spiral Wound Gaskets brochure contains information on all of our standard and specialised styles of spiral wound gasket including information on custom size availability, material options and performance characteristics. The bulk of this 60 page booklet is dedicated to sizing though. This new brochure includes metric size information for spiral wound gaskets to suit all kinds of flange specifications which, we hope, will prove very useful to anyone specifying gaskets for new installations or working our which replacement gaskets they will need for maintenance work.
