Designation Sketch Description
SPETOMET® SPETOMET® MWK® 10 is a conventional kammprofile gasket with the

MWK® 10 grooves of the same depth; the gasket is applied first of all in tongue and
groove flanges, less frequently in male and female flanges; recommended
SPETOMET® width of the MWK® 10 gasket should not exceed 15 mm due to uneven
MWK® 10 Z radial distribution of contact stresses; maximum outer diameter of the
gasket – 5000 mm. The SPETOMET® MWK® 10 Z with a loose centering
ring, due to increased safety requirements, this type is recommended
instead of traditional MWK® 20 type.
SPETOMET® SPETOMET® MWK® 15 is a gasket recommended for wide flange faces

MWK® 15** (for the width >20mm); the grooves of the gasket have different depth
which results in the even radial distribution of contact stresses and protect
it from being overloaded on the outer circumference of the gasket.
SPETOMET® SPETOMET® MWK® 18 is a gasket used in the same applications as styles

MWK® 18 SPETOMET® MWK® 10 and MWK® 20. Different depths of the grooves
result in the built up of the contact stress in the middle of the gasket’s width
which increases its blowout resistance and sealability.
SPETOMET® SPETOMET® MWK® 20 has the sealing element exactly the same as that
MWK® 20 of MWK® 10, with additional outer centring ring; integral centring ring of
thickness 2 or 3 mm, manufactured in traditional technology; at present
in order to meet the increased safety standards this style is replaced by
MWK® 21; MWK® 22 is the style for similar applications but with the
special centring ring.

SPETOMET® SPETOMET® MWK® 21 gasket with the centring ring that has a pre-
MWK® 21 determined breaking groove – when the joint fails and the medium
escapes abruptly from the system the vibrations of the gasket occur – in
these circumstances the gasket “breaks” on the groove and centring rings
falls out.
SPETOMET® SPETOMET® MWK® 25 has the same profile as MWK® 15 but with
MWK® 25** the centring ring; the ring has a pre-determined breaking groove which
increases its blowout resistance.
SPETOMET® SPETOMET® MWK® 28 has the same profile as MWK® 18; its centring
MWK® 28 ring has a pre-determined breaking groove increasing gasket’s blowout
resistance.
SPETOMET® SPETOMET® MWK® 50 gasket has an original profile engineered at

MWK® 50** SPETECH® , the features distinguishing it from other sealing solutions are
better recovery, so called metal core shape flexibility effect due to the
proportions between the groove depth and width, improved conformability
SPETOMET® although the gasket has smaller thickness; this last feature allows for the
MWK® 50 Z installation of MWK® 50 even in the shallow grooves where usually soft
gaskets are applied.

SPETOMET® SPETOMET® MWK® 50 B for round boiler inspection holes, original

MWK® 50 B** design engineered at SPETECH®, the profile allows for relatively deeper
grooves and thus thicker sealing layers can be used, it results in good
tightness characteristics even in the worn flanges with substancial surface
imperfections, the gasket can be insterted into the boiler’s opening. Also
available customized profile MWK® 10 B with the metal core grooved in
traditional way.
SPETOMET® SPETOMET® MWK® 55 is an original gasket developed at SPETECH®;

MWK® 55** it features increased recovery and better conformability, at the same time it
reduces the differences of contact stress in radial direction, which prevents
the edge of the gaskets from excessive loads; gaskets recommended for
wide flanges (for the width >20mm).
SPETOMET® SPETOMET® MWK® 60 gasket has the same sealing element as

MWK® 60** SPETOMET® MWK® 50 but a centring ring with pre-determined breaking
groove is added to improved blowout resistance.
SPETOMET® SPETOMET® MWK® 65 gasket has the same sealing element as

MWK® 65** SPETOMET® MWK® 55 but a centring ring with pre-determined breaking
groove is added to improve blowout resistance.
DryFlex®** Third generation of a kommprofile gasket! Three-factor flexibility effect:

super flexible sealing element; flexible sealing element assembly in
the centring ring and use flexibility – one gasket for one DN diameter,
DryFlex® LR regardless of the PN marking. The DryFlex® gasket was designed as a
high quality industrial gasket, combining the advantages of soft-material
gaskets and metal gaskets, to be used in industrial pipelines and in
machines and heat exchangers.

SPETOSPIR® SPETOSPIR® S – spiral wound gasket made from alternate layers of

S metal strip and filler; reinforced only by the metal piles welded together,
wound around the soft filler. S style is applied in male and female, tongue
and groove flange, also in the joints with so called multi-channel load
transmission.
SPETOSPIR® SPETOSPIR® SW gasket with inner ring providing additional strength,

SW made from the same metal as the strips; besides giving strength, the ring
fills the space between flange bore and the inside diameter, minimizes
erosion of flange faces; applied in male and female flanges, even in very
high pressures.
SPETOSPIR® SPETOSPIR® SZ gasket with outer centring ring, facilitating proper

SZ installation of the gasket; outer ring also protects gasket from blowout
and provides the space for coding the gaskets with digits, letters and
colour, which inform about the gasket’s style, materials and manufacturer;
in some constructions used as a compression stop. Gasket engineered
for flat and raised face flanges; for applications in flanges above PN 40
(class 300) and when the filler is PTFE, SWZ style is recommended. As
standard, centring ring is made from carbon steel, painted or galvanized.
SPETOSPIR® SPETOSPIR® SWZ gasket has two metal rings: outer (centring) and inner
SWZ – reinforcing; due to „enclosing” the proper sealing element between
the to rigid metal rings, the gasket has excellent compression resistance;
the style recommended for flat face and raised face flanges over PN 40
(class 300), for gaskets with PTFE filler also of lower PN; for gaskets of
large dimensions (above 800 mm) suggested as standard. The standard
inner ring is made from the same material as gasket’s metal strip in the
sealing area.

Description:
The SPETORING RM Weld Ring Seals are suitable for applications where it is absolutely
Pmax (bar) 1500 500* necessary to have a leak proof joint and also where a limited opportunity for disassem-
bling is required (which effects long time period between scheduled revisions). Special
reasons for Weld Ring requirement may also be: containment of hazardous medium
Qmax (MPa) 650 400* and combination of difficult working conditions (temperature shocks, vibrations, axial
or lateral flange movements, etc.).
The main equipment where these seals are applied are pressure vessels (heat exchang-
ers, thermal reactors, chemical apparatus, etc). Other group of applications are pipe-
lines which, however, request less sophisticated Weld Rings constructions normally.
Starting from 2010 all the Spetech Weld Rings with ‘seal to flange’ seam weld from out-
side are possible to be installed for application with bars (partitions). This fact should
make the Weld Rings Seals even more popular solution for ‘trouble making’ joints.
SPETECH Weld Ring seals are manufactured to fit to EN, ASME, DIN, GOST, JIS, WN,
OST or any other standards flanges. Commonly they are individually designed accord-
ing to customer constructions and specifications.
SPETECH is supplying Weld Ring seals in diameter up to 6000mm. “One piece” seam-
less construction of the rings should be available for most of requests. Gasket materials
are generally recommended to be the same or similar to the pipe or flange materials
but all the times the Spicification settlement is the priority.
The most popular materials for SPETORING RM including Nickel based alloys, Vessel
steel grades, Stainless Steel and many others are shown in ‘Common Used Materials’
table. Any other material on request.

SPETORING® SPETORING® R-M 1 is a basic solution for application where the space
R-M 1 between flanges is limited. Widely met as per DIN 2695 standard 4mm
thick rings. Easiest solution either concerning material consumption and
manufacturing cost.
Inside weld seams are the only available option (errors on inside joint
welding are difficult to repair). Any customised dimensions also available.
Rewelding: can be re-welded up to 5 times, material loss ~3mm each.
Radial compensation up to 0.3mm.
SPETORING® This solution is technically based on idea similar to what is in RM-1 case
R-M 2 but both outside weld seams/ inside weld seams option is available which
facilitate installation.
Customised construction of SPETORING® R-M 2 are available – starting
from this profile all profiles with outside weld seam can be deliver with
partitions. Rewelding up to 5times (3mm each loss).
Please not the radial compensation is only like 0.1mm.
SPETORING® First of hollow lip weld-ring seals solution. It performs more thermal and
R-M 3 pressure shock resistance compare to RM-1 and RM-2. But the ‘membrane’
effect is yet not that visible as the hollow lip small dimensions. Customize
cross-sections and partitions available.
Outside weld seams available but as all this construction is strongly
determined by existing limitations (not enough space between flanges for
RM-5 and existing redial movements of the joint deserving the hollow-lip
solution) the access to outside seam is difficult, which effect request of
high performance in welding process.
The SPETORING® R-M 3 is Weld Ring Seal is possible to be installed for
application with bars (partitions).
However re-welding is possible approx. 2-3times. Radial compensation
up to 0.5mm.

chemical attack and fire-safe. Additionally convex gasket geometry in
the same moment ensures very long service life time and protects flange
face from being damaged. The rule is that the SPETORING® R-B convex
gaskets should be produced from material softer than flange faces and
in the in special cases you can use galvanic coating or layers (silver,
aluminium) to achieve this. Convex seals are manufactured in accordance
with many dimension standards beside popular international (ASME, EN,
JIS, GOST, etc most popular are DIN 7603 form D for union fittings and
DIN 837 for pressure gauges and associated valves).
SPETOACTIV® This special self energized metal seal is the only existing self energized
R-K metal seal that request no groove in the flange. It is a combination of self
Self energized energized v-ring with centering ring which works also as supporting (anti
metal seal collapsing) ring. Thanks to the SPETOACTIV® R-K supporting ring this
seal might be used on flat flanges with no need to have time and efforts
taking groove machining operation, which should make Self-Energized
Seals an optional solution for most of trouble making applications.
SPETORING® Called also as wire ring. This seals is capable to work in a very high
R-O solid load stress, provide good performance in high pressure environment, can
be used to seal three or more surfaces in one moment. Since there are
no standards for SPETORING® R-O this king of seal they are always
manufactured basing on customer specific demand (material, size, cross-
section).

SPETORING® SPETORING® RTJ transition rings are used for sealing ring type joints in
RTJ which the flanges have different ring groove diameters or even for jointing
Transition two flangesd being totally different style (flange with grove with flat flange
rings style).
SPETORING® R-S SPETORING® R-S Double Cone Seals are provided commonly to
Double Cone Seal highest duty pressure vessels equipment (mostly in chemical processing
industry). Typical working pressure 50-350 bars and typical temperature
up to 400°C, diameter between 500 to 3000mm. They are self-energized
gasket which construction details need to be designed essentially by the
device designers. Although they look similar to octagonal RTJ the rule of
sealing effect ot the joint is different than RTJ.
How it works? After being acted by internal pressure, double cone
seal expands outward and the contact pressure between gasket and
flange increases substancially. Normally at the conical surfaces of the
SPETORING® R-S Double Cone Seal layers of soft metal are installed
– mostly silver, soft iron, aluminium or cooper with thicknes of 0,5÷1mm.
To increase friction conical surfaces of gasket (which contact with
flange surfaces) are often additionally machined: either with 2-5 groovs
(0,5÷1mm deep) or given convex shape.
Please note that during fitting the radial gap of 0,05mm for every 100mm of
diameter of non-assembled seal should be precisely controlled and at the
cylindrical, supporting surface of cover should be machined longitudinal
grooves; Hence internal pressure act on the cylindrical internal surface of
the gasket.

SPECIAL SOLID METAL Seals
SPETORING® R-D SPETORING® R-D Delta Seal is used for pressure vessel covers. It
Delta Seal requires a special flange construction with triangular grooves. How it
works? The total depth of grooves is a little bit lower than the hight of
gasket in the non-installed state. When tighten up the bolts, the cover
gently approaches to the shell flange. After starting the pressure the delta
seal bends cross section and contacts linearly in bottoms of grove under
high contact pressure. As being acted by internal pressure the delta seal
bends even more outwards, and the conical surface of seal tightly contacts
the conical surfaces on seal grooves. Please note the high machining
accuracy and high precision of any surfaces of SPETORING® R-D Delta
style joints are required!
Also the edges of the delta seal can imprint bottoms of grooves, so - after
diassambling -machining of grooves and – probably – new gasket with
new (increased) hight will be required.
Application range of delta seal is up to 2000mm of diameter temperature
mostly lower than 400°C and pressure lower than 400 bars.
SPETORING® R-W Bredtschneider Seal is another sulotion used to secure tightness in to self –
Bredtschneider Seal tightening covers. The construction of seat for this kind of seal is very special
(wedge seal) and need perfect geometry of conical contact surface both: at cover and shell.
For positioning and blocking of gasket special segment ring is needed.
The pretightening force of bolt (must be strain bolts in cover and in
segmented ring) is very low. The sealing action is coming from internal
pressure acting on cover. This working (medium) pressure is multiplicated
into contact pressure of SPETORING® R-W in two ways:
1. because surface of cover is many times smaller than contact surface,
2. because wedge geometry of seal multiply axial force into radial contact force.
Normally Bredtschneider Seal is manufactured from the material softer
than cover and flange material (after installation seal ring is closed almost
“hydraulically” from all sides). Please note disadvantage can be observed,
when material of ring is too soft and extrude in gaps between cover and
shell. In can cause the disassambly difficulties.
Good sealing properties can be kept even when the temperature and
pressure fluctuate. The typical application range for Bredtschneider Seal
are: pressure to 400 bars, temperature 350°C and diameter 1300 mm.
In praxis geometry of this kind of seals can vary: cross section may by symmetrical
or not and face surface can be perpendicular to axe of shell or not.

GORETM GORE™ Series 500 gasket tape helps to achieve greater sealing
SERIES 500 efficiencies with large steel piping and equipment. Unlike sheet gasketing,
it can be quickly formed in place, installs easily, and reduces expensive
material scrap. GORE™ Series 500 gasket tape is the ideal choice
for sealing large diameter flanges. Made from 100% multi-directionally
expanded PTFE, it combines superior sealing performance and efficiency.
Tighter and more creep resistant than other gasketing alternatives, it
also has the advantages of a form-in-place sealing solution. Without
“donut hole” scrap from cutting, it is often more cost effective. Because
it is customized at installation, long lead times are eliminated and gasket
inventories are reduced. Conformable and highly compressible, this tape
forms a very tight seal. Strong multidirectionally expanded PTFE gives
excellent creep resistance for a long-lasting seal that withstands virtually
any chemical process.
GORETM GORE™ Series 600 gasket tape is a form-in-place gasket for glasslined
SERIES 600 equipment that guards against premature gasket failure. Unlike PTFE
envelope gaskets, it will not degrade due to chemical attack, and will
ensure a tight and long-lasting seal. GORE™ Series 600 gasket tape
is the ideal choice for sealing large diameter flanges. Made from 100%
multi-directionally expanded PTFE, the entire gasket is chemically inert.
As a result, the user will not experience the sealing problems associated
with aggressive media or outside environments. This unique gasket tape
conforms to the imperfections common in glass-lined flange surfaces,
while maintaining dimensional stability for superior sealing reliability. This
gasket tape can be installed easily and quickly, yielding initial savings. And
since it minimizes unexpected process upsets, process productivity gains
are also achieved.
GORETM Gore™ Series 800 are gaskets combining the qualities of expanded
SERIES 800 PTFE resistant to medium transfer (diffusion); they are used for flanges
Universal of fixtures made of delicate materials where little assembly stresses are
Pipe Gasket achieved. They assure durable tightness, even in changeable working
conditions of the flange.

GORETM GR GORE™ GR is a sealing sheet and gasket manufactured from multi-

directionally oriented expanded PTFE; in order to improve installation
properties, the sheet is harder and has higher density, which is important
while installing the gaskets in the vertical flanges, especially in case of
medium and large diameters; SPETOFLON® FGR-R sheet available as
an alternative.
SPETOFLON® SPETOFLON® TEX DF is a joint sealant in the form of tape from mono-
TEX DF directionally orientated expanded PTFE, the most common of all “formed
in place” sealing solutions; the sealant has excellent forming characteristics
even to the worn and damaged surfaces, cutting the ends of the tape
using skiving technique is not necessary during the installation; the risk of
relaxation and cold flow is limited due to small thickness of the sealant in
the flange, tape with adhesive strip, available in 9 sizes; sealant considered
necessary for the maintenance services; as an alternative Gore TM DE
joint sealant also available.
SPETOFLON® SPETOFLON® TEX DE is the modern generation of sealants formed in

TEX DE place, has rectangular cross section of even distribution of density in the
one-directionally expanded PTFE; such construction allows for application
of narrower sealants instead of traditional solutions, i.e. SPETOFLON®
TEX DF (Gore TM DF), the sealant is available in 5 sizes due to wider
application range, which substitute 9 sizes of DF sealant; as and alternative,
Gore TM DE joint sealant also available.

SPETOFLON® SPETOFLON® TEX FGR material and gasket manufactured from multi-
TEX FGR directionally expanded PTFE in a proprietary technology; easily formable
material, easy to cut by means of the simplest toos, may be used as a
universal sealing material.
SPETOFLON® SPETOFLON® TEX FGR-H is composed of the core made from sintered
TEX FGR-H PTFE and two layers of SPETOFLON® FGR; such desing reduces active
area of the gasket, therefore it can be installed with low assembly loads,
e.g. in epoxy-fibre composite flanges; due to PTFE core other materials
are not introduced and exposed to the sealed medium; gasket is a very
economical solution and is able to seal irregular flange surfaces.
SPETOFLON® SPETOFLON® TEX FGR-F is manufactured by pre-forming SPETOFLON®

TEX FGR-F TEX FGR gasket which reduces the active sealing area on one hand, on
the other, closes the paths between anti-difusion zones, this version is
designed for the non rigid flanges e.g. from epoxy-fibre composite and
similar; gasket’s sealability is not affected by the load changes; additionally,
easily formable in the irregular flange faces.
SPETOFLON® SPETOFLON® TEX FGR-J gasket composed of the corrugated 316 L

TEX FGR-J stainless steel ring (other materials on agreement) and two layers of
SPETOFLON® FGR (Gore™ GR as an option); thanks to the corrugated
metal ring the gasket has improved recovery, strength, resistance to
relaxation and blowout; it is a gasket highly recommended for dangerous
media (toxic, explosive, etc.); it is necessary to choose the metal compatible
with the sealed medium.

SPETOFLON® SPETOFLON® FU envelope is manufactured from virgin, sintered PTFE of

FU 2,10 g/cm3 density in the profile shown on the drawing; the jacket has anti-
difusion zone on the inner circumference which protects the material of the
instert from contact with medium; thickness of the insert in practice is not
limited; gasket’s construction minimizes non-active space in the joint and
provides erosion resistance in case of high flow velocity of the medium.
SPETOFLON® SPETOFLON® FY envelope manufactured by means of slitting PTFE

FY rings and is an economical alternative to FU envelope; recommended
maximum thickness of the insert in FY envelope is 2mm, thickness of the
PTFE envelopes, similarily to FU style, 0.5mm
SPETOFLON® SPETOFLON® FC envelope is made in a technology of plastic forming,

FC and it preserves full chemical resistance of PTFE, at the same time assuring
economical material use; it is recommended for large diameters. In case
of high diffusion by a relatively thin wall, FC P with additional anti-diffusion
barrier is used.
SPETOFLON® Gaskets manufactured by inserting SPETOBAR® BAS® 300 gasket into

FU BAS® 300 SPETOFLON® FU envelope for the service temperatures up to 150°C
at small and medium diameters; PTFE envelope gives excellent chemical
resistance and BAS® 300 improves recovery and inhibit creep relaxation
of PTFE; gasket may be equipped with centring ring from SPETOBAR®

thermal stability especially at high compressive loads and elevated
SPETOFLON® temperatures SPETOGRAF® GUS® 40 is recommended as the insert;
FU GUS® 40 width of the envelpope may be limited to the flange face area, whereas
centring (types with “Z” index) can result from selection of the appropriate
dimensions of the insert.
SPETOFLON® SPETOFLON® FU gaskets have corrugated ring (types with “J” index)
FU GUS® 20 J and two soft layers which allow for very thick constructions (e.g.
10.5mm) accomodating large inequalities (even several milimeters) in the

SPETOBAR® SPETOBAR® BAS® 300 is a material based on aramid firbres and other
BAS® 300 non-asbestos fillers bonded by mix of high quality elastomers in the
special calendring process; the material has good forming properties,
low permeability, good mechanical properties and withstands high
temperatures; it can be applied as a “universal” sealing solutions within
the range of medium temperature and mechanical loads; material can
work in services with exposure to oxygen; as standard, BAS® 300 has
anti-adhesion surfaces of high coefficient of friction; used in hydraulic,
cooling systems (containing freon and based on water cooling agents),
water solutions, fuels, solvents, de-freezing agents, alkalis.
SPETOBAR® SPETOBAR® BAS® 340 is a non-asbestos sheet or a gasket based on

BAS® 340 aramid firbres, non-organic fillers with high quality elastomer as a binder,
manufactured in a multi-stage calendering process, has mechanical and
temperature characteristics distingishing it from other fibre materials; it
is physiologically safe, without any pigments, exhibits excellent tensile
strength, shearing and stress resistance; in service with gas and liquids,
e.g. oils, fuels, freons, liquid gases, solvents, hot water and steam but
without pressure and temperature fluctuations1); easy to handle, exhibits
outstanding chemical resistance and ability to work in high pressures;
Surface treatment: as standard, SPETOBAR® BAS® 340 is coated with
a nonstick agent of high coefficient of friction (stabilizes the gasket in
the joint), therefore no further steps to improve surface characteristics
are necessary; only in situations where relative movement is the case,
sheet (gasket) may be delivered with graphited surface on one or both
sides; BAS® 340 is one of the very few fibre materials that are fire-safe
(BS 6755); may be exposed to oxygen, food, gas, potable water etc.

SPETOBAR® SPETOBAR® BAS® 340 I is the sheet manufactured from the same
BAS® 340 I fibre-elastomeric mix as SPETOBAR® BAS® 340; therefore it has similar
properties as per chemical resistance, resilience, physiological safety,
resistance to ageing etc.; it is, however, equipped with 0.5mm thick, mesh
1.4404 stainless steel reinforcement, this reinforcement increases tensile
strength, resistance to stress and resilience, also makes the gasket more
rigid which is important during the installation;thanks to the reinforcement,
the material can withstand higher pressure and/or temperature loads which
is important in hot water or steam service; also reinforcement does not
have negative influence on permeabilty, due to the special technological
process; BAS® 340 I is used in chemical industry, refineries, power plants,
coke plants, in all places where substantial pressure and temperature loads
occur and where the flange faces are narrow, BAS® 340 I has a non-stick
top and bottom layer of high coefficient of friction; in special version –
when used in components which rotate on te gasket during assembly, a
graphite coating on one or both sides of the gasket is required.
SPETOBAR® SPETOBAR® BAS® 340 R is a sheet made of the same fibre and
BAS® 340 R elastomeric composition as SPETOBAR® BAS® 340; it has internal
reinforcement of zinc-plated carbon steel net which increases its resistance
for tearing, squeezing and cutting.

Double Sealing Systems become more popular relating to the increasing safety and reliability of plants, recently improved anti-emission ‘Clean Air Acts’,
enlarged intervals between maintenance periods.
The double sealing systems are used in bolted flange connections of apparatus, valves and pipelines. Historically some first applications took place in
Nuclear Power Plants where highest tightness / reliability factors are used since beginning. Nowadays Double Sealing Systems are one of Best
Available Technology (BAT) solution that are provided more widely by Spetech to the market.
Typical place of of application are:
• still the nuclear plant connection requiring highest reliability and leakage proofness technology,
• pressure vessels and Installations (pipelines) especially in the chemical industry for application with hazardous substances (toxic, odorous, explosive, or
any other) also big-size reservoirs for hazardous liquids / gases / liquid gases.
SPETOMET® MWK® 28 / The construction of Spetech Double Sealing Systems is that a more
SPETOGRAF® 10 rigid gasket (having less compressibility) with a high spring rate e.g.
Dryflex or GUS 660 gasket is used for the gasket in the main-load. In
the same construction as the secondary gasket (which is put in the off-
load position) should be used gasket with higher compressibility factor (for
example spiral wound type or pure graphite layers).
How does it work? Function of primary seal is to ensure tightness and
reliability of the connection (it works as classic gasket). Hence secondary
seal is not exposed to high pressure any more and than secondary seal
SPETOMET® MWK® 50 /
may be used just to stop any eventual leaks (passing through primary seal
SPETOSPIR® SWZ
or any welds in monitored area). Being such barrier secondary seal lets to
dispose leaks to leakage measuring devices in aim to provide continuous
control of tightness of the connection. If the rate of leakage rise – this is
the information that something wrong is starting with the gasket / welds
inside monitored area
The selection of Double Sealing System to be used for the gaskets in the
main-load and the off-load may be calculated by Spetech individually to
GUS® 660/ customers request. The aim of this customized calculation is to proof the
SPETOSPIR® S excellent tightness of the joint from one hand and and from the other hand
such calculation let to estimate flange rotation that occurs in the moment
of installing the Double Sealing System and to prevent from bad results
of such rotation.

plate heat exChanGerS
In some industries instead of Shell & Tube plate type heat exchangers
GLUE STYLE are widely popularized. There major advantage to use plate type heat
exchangers, is that the corrugations in the plates reduces the liquid
turbulence to very limited level and the liquids flow is counter current so
that the heat transfer efficiency is always 3-5 times higher than Shell & Tube
type heat exchangers.
Plate heat exchangers in its structure is composed of a fixed frame, a
movable frame and corrugated plates which are in between the two frames.
Hot liquid and cold liquid go through between the corrugated plates in
turn the areas separated by elastomer paths of seals. Most popular plate
heat exchangers producers are APV, AGC, Alfa Laval, Arsopi, Barriquand,
Cetetherm, Ciat, Cipriani, Fischer, Fiorini, GEA, Hisaka, Mueller, Pasilac,
Reheat, API Schmidt Bretten, Silkeborg, Sondex, Swep, Tranter, Vicarb.
CLIP STYLE
To prevent leaking, a fine elastomer for the gasket is installed around
the plates and big tightening bolts are used to put the plates together.
Construction of the Plate heat exchangers makes the seals a critical part
of this equipment responsible for life-time of all the equipment. Depending
from process medium the gasket must be chemical resistance and/or
temperature resistance. Spetech is providing seals to most existing plate
heat exchangers working in: power industry, oil processing, food and
beverage industry, sugar industry, chemistry, pulp and paper.
Most popular materials used are: NBR, HNBR, EPDM, FPM (different
grades).
There are two basic ideas of installing of the seals: Glue Style Gasket and
Clip Style Seals. Clip style gaskets are installed without any adhesive. This
improvement lets fitting of the gasket on the plate just by installing clips into
grooves on the plate. Hence gasket is high resistance against pressure and
enable for a quick and simple replacement.

R-CS is equipped with an internal spring increasing initial pressure, and
consequently the tightness and the possibility to work with low and high
pressure, it has got durable, high flexible recovery.
SPETOACTIV® SPETOACTIV® R-U gasket (metal U-ring) can be applied at low intitial
R-U loads, has good recovery characteristics, ability to compensate for the
uneven and flauty flange faces, so may be installed in the low rigidity
joints; manufactured in many material types up to the diameter of
SPETOACTIV® 1200 mm, usually without the coating; for service conditions up to 870°C
R-UM and 80MPa; like R-C i R-E styles, R-U gaskets care should be taken in
order to choose appropriate construction due to the service requirements.
SPETOACTIV® R-UM solid metal style is also available.

SPETOACTIV® SPETOACTIV® P-20 is a gasket manufactured from PTFE (or modified

P-20 PTFE) with a special spring used in both static and quasi-static applications;
choice of material is determined by service conditions and gaskets may
work in pressure up to 55Mpa and temperatures from -250°C to +270°C;
thanks to the internal spring it does not lose its recovery, therefore it is
not affected by temperature and pressure fluctuations; special style with
silicone o-ring instead of metal spring reducing non-active area of the
gasket; direction of the pressure determines gasket’s construction
SPETOACTIV® SPETOACTIV® P-24 is a gasket similar to SPETOACTIV® P-20 but applied

P-24 in higher pressures, thus different external profile; may be manufactured
from various kinds of modified PTFE, therefore can work in temperatures
from -250°C to 270°C, maximum working pressure – 140 MPa.
SPETOACTIV® SPETOACTIV® P-28 gasket is used in criogenic technologies up to the

P-28 pressure of 35Mpa; it is a only a static gasket of good elastic recovery; its
spring has the construction compensating for the thermal shrinkage of the
polimer material; may be delivered in many material options in dimensions
up to 1200mm; the direction of the pressure acting on the gasket should
be considered while its construction is engineered.

Ordering:
• for GRAFMET® rings and TRANSFLEX® packages please indicate the fitting
Pmax (bar) 420 100* dimensions or the type, nominal dimension and the manufacturer of the fixture.
Standard dimensions:
Qmax (MPa) 500 200* • The GRAFMET® and TRANSFLEX® gaskets are produced according to the
dimension specification of the fixture manufacturers.
Widely used in:

The GRAFMET series 900 and TRANSFLEX® gaskets are used
in high-pressure covers of pressure vessels, mainly in power
industry. It is recommended to use products with metal inserts
/ reinforcements securing the gasket if it is to be used in high
performance and/or high duty applications. In Cover Plate
Gasket applications the necessary sealing force is provided
by the internal process pressure and you may call it somehow
self-tightening covers.
Custom styles:
• GRAFMET® 900 styles of other cross sections, such as
square, trapezoid of requested dimensions

grafmet® 900 series
GRAFMET® GRAFMET® 960 is a die-formed ring from expanded graphite of 1.6 g/cm3

960 density and industrial or nuclear purity (GRAFMET® 960N), applied in
valves and vessels as so called self-sealing gasket. The gap between the
body and the cover, cover and the press ring, press ring and the body
GRAFMET® should not be bigger than 0.7mm for GRAFMET® 960; for bigger
962 gaps and when contact stresses δ>100 N/mm2, GRAFMET® 962 is
recommended. At present, GRAFMET® 960 is reinforced with stainless
steel foil. GRAFMET® 962, also of trapezoid cross-section, is externally
reinforced by metal caps which prevent the extrusion of graphite when the
GRAFMET®
gaps exceed 0.7mm and high contact stresses over 100N/mm2 occur;
970
additionally, the caps protect the graphite from erosion and oxidation;
for big diametres and wide gaps, metal caps may be machined –
GRAFMET® 962 M, such a sealing solution is most commonly applied in
GRAFMET® vessels to seal their covers. When the rings have rectangular cross section,
972 their designations are accordingly GRAFMET® 970 and GRAFMET® 972
with machined caps.

TRANSFLEX® The GRAFMET® 970 rings are available in a special TRANSFLEX®

** set containing metal sectional rings of variable dimensions enabling
compensation of clearance, even large ones of unpredicted dimensions,
on existing high-temperature great-flow fittings and/or apparatus and heat
exchangers, under self-caulking covers. A soft component can be offered
as a pre-formed graphite ring, e.g.: TRANSFLEX® 960/970, or woven
packing, e.g.: TRANSFLEX® 960/880.
Structures for rectangular stuffing-boxes are also available. In such a
case, soft sealing component remains unchanged whereas two expanding
rings are installed on the box bottom. This is the Transflex® 970/970
product.

valve seals proGram
Basing of 20 years’ engineering experience both in flange gaskets (static) ap-

plication and stuffing box (dynamic) applications Spetech jointed above two
fields of experiences’ and started provide complete ‘Valve Seals solutions’ for
valve manufacturers.
Our production program covers: seat sealings, stem seals and bonnet conec-
tion gaskets and is continuously focusing towards in high parameters valves
sealing solutions and provides sealing systems for ‘4xH valves’ (4 x H are High
Pressure / High Temperature (over 450°C) / High Tightness (TA-Luft / VDI )/
High Duty valves).
SEAT SEALS Program includes:

• various construction of sealing discs / sealing seats of 2-off-set and
3-off-set used in BUTTERFLY valves (solid or laminated versions freely
available)
• solid metal, laminated metal-graphite or graphite with reinforcement
spherical seats for the BALL valves (also seats integrated with the
metal cover)
• large number of types of secondary gaskets installed in the are of
valve seats
STEM AND Program includes:

SHAFT SEALS • Single preformed rings made from pure expanded (GRAFMET® 950)
graphite or from any braided packings used either alone or in the
sealing sets. Our preformed rings (thanks to usage of first class quality
materials) shows excellent non-ageing properties, creep resistance,
high temperature resistance. Standard density of rings: 1.35 g/cm3 or
1.6 g/cm3 (other densities upon request).
• ‘Ready to install’ sealing sets applied in the highest duty valves and
fittings; composed of the GRAFMET® 950 family ring, braided
packing rings or combination of them. Dimensions and configuration
(e.g. typically 3 pieces of GRAFMET® 950 inside and 2 pieces of
SPETOPAK® braided packing rings outside) upon request.
• ‘High Tightness’ sealing sets being in compliance with various ‘CLEAN
AIR ACTS’ (the tightness criteria like German VDI 2200 and can be
regarded as a high-grade sealing system for the purposes of ‘CLEAN
AIR ACTS’ eg. TA-LUFT.
• special shape / special construction pure graphite rings

(SPETOPAK WGR TA) or
• specially prepared braided packings (SPETOPAK® WGR® 8515,
SPETOPAK® WGR® 8535) combined with high density rings and
special metal cap for high sealing performance especially for
chemical and petrochemical box valves.
• Please not that due to Best Abvailable Technogy priciples
of SPETECH there are others ‘High Tightness’ packings sets
in certification progress (e.g. SPETOPAK® WGR® 8530).
If interesting in this area - please contact us for updated list of
certified ‘High Tightness’ packings.
Please note that all the bonnet sealings which are used in valves are working as static application gasket and you can use from various combinations
of seals described in whole this catalogue. Most popular types are: kammprofiles, spiral wound gaskets, pure graphite rings, self energized metal
seals, etc.

ESA Installations Procedures
Tools Specific tools are required for cleaning and tensioning the fasteners. Additionally, always
use standard safety equipment and follow good safety practices. Acquire the following
Required equipment prior to installation:
– Calibrated torque wrench, hydraulic or other tensioner
– Wire brush (brass if possible)
– Helmet
– Safety goggles
– Lubricant
– Other plants – specified equipment
Clean and • Remove all foreign material and debris from the seating surfaces, fasteners (bolts or studs),
nuts, and washers. Use plant-specified dust control procedures.
examine • Examine fasteners (bolts or studs), nuts, and washers for defects such as burrs or cracks.
• Examine flange surfaces for warping, radial scores, heavy tool marks, or anything prohibiting
proper gasket seating.
• Replace components if found to be defective. If in doubt, seek advice.
Align • Align flange faces and bolt holes without using excessive force.
• Report any misalignment.
flanges
Install •
•
Assure gasket is the specified size and material.
Examine the gasket to ensure it is free of defects.
packing • Carefully insert gasket between flanges.
• Make sure the gasket is centered between the flanges.
• Do not use jointing compounds or release agents on the gasket or seating surfaces unless
specified by the gasket manufacturer.
• Bring flanges together, ensuring the gasket isn’t pinched or damaged.

-bearing
surfaces
Install and tighten bolts • Always use proper tools: calibrated torque wrench or other controlled tensioning device.
• Consult your gasket manufacturer and/or engineering department for guidance on torque
specifications.
• Always torque nuts in a cross bolt tightening pattern.
• Tighten the nuts in multiple steps:
Step 1 – Tighten all nuts initially by hand. (Larger bolts may require a small hand wrench.)
Step 2 – Torque each nut to approximately 30% of full torque.
Step 3 – Torque the nuts to approximately 60% of full torque.
Step 4 – Torque each nut to full torque, again using the cross bolt tightening pattern.
(Large-diameter flanges may require additional tightening passes.)
Step 5 – Apply at least one final full torque to all nuts in a clockwise direction until all torque
is uniform. (Large-diameter flanges may require additional tightening passes.)
Retightening Caution: Consult your gasket manufacturer and/or engineering department for guidance and
recommendations on retightening.
Do not retorque elastomer-based, asbestos-free gaskets after they have been exposed to
elevated temperatures unless otherwise specified.
Retorque fasteners exposed to aggressive thermal cycling.
All retorquing should be performed at ambient temperature and atmospheric pressure.
