ElastaGraph gaskets
are manufactured by infusing a seamless layer of flexible graphite
at varying densities and thicknesses over a corrugated metallic
core. Unlike competitor materials the ElastaGraph does not contain
an adhesive which can contribute to bolt torque loss.
The unique corrugation of ElastaGraph greatly
increases the products recovery of "spring back" and reduces
the surface area of the gasket resulting in greater unit load at
initial torque or lower minimum seating stress.
The proprietary production process allow the graphite
to be applied without the seam that is present in other gaskets
fabricated from flexible graphite sheet. |
