304 SS Spiral Wound FG, 304 SS IR, CS OR

Spiral wound gaskets listed below consist of a 304 stainless steel inner ring, 304 windings with flexible graphite filler, and a carbon steel outer ring. Spiral wound gaskets are metallic gaskets consisting of an outer centering ring (also known as OCR, OR, or an outer guide ring), metallic windings with a soft filler material, and a solid inner ring, or any combination of the three. These gaskets are manufactured to meet specifications as outlined in ASME B16.20 (previously covered by API 601). Spiral-wound gaskets can handle more harsh and varied operating conditions than non-asbestos sheet gaskets in general. They are available in multiple materials and configurations.

Color CodesSpiral Wound Gasket

Spiral wound gaskets shall be marked with a color code that identifies the windings and filler materials. A continuous color around the outer edge of the centering ring shall identify the winding metal. The color identifying the filler material for NPS 1 1/2 and larger shall have four intermittent stripes spaced approximately 90 deg apart on the outer edge of the centering ring. Smaller size gaskets shall have a minimum of two stripes 180 deg apart. The colors shall conform to those listed in the table below.
