SPIRAL WOUND STAINLESS STEEL (304SS) WR GASKETS

GASKET MATERIAL Lamons SpiraSeal Gaskets are color coded

304 Stainless Steel – Color Code Yellow on the entire outside edge of the centering
ring, permitting identification of the winding
materials at a glance, whether the gasket is
in storedhouse stock or installed between
flanges. The metal is designated by a solid
color. Filler materials, are indentified by a
number of stripes placed at equal intervals
around the outside edge of the centering
ring. These colors conform to the Industry
Standard for metal and filler materials.

GASKET STYLE Style WR gaskets consist of a winding with a

Style WR solid metal outer guide ring. These gaskets
can be used on plain flat face flanges and on
raised face flanges. The outer guide ring
serves to center the gasket properly in the
flange joint, acts as an anti-blowout device,
provides radial support for the Spiral Wound
components, and acts as a compression
gauge to prevent the Spiral Wound
component from being crushed. Normally the
outer guide rings are furnished in mild steel,
but can be supplied in other metal when
required by operating conditions.

MARKING
Style WR Gaskets have a spiral wound sealing section with a solid metal
Centering rings of "SpiraSeal" Style
WR Gaskets are stamped with information
outer ring. These self-centering gaskets with a built-in compression gauge
as shown in the illustration above. Other in- are used to seal:
'-" formation such as special inner or outer
ring material may also be stamped on the
a. Raised face and raised face slip-on joints
outer ring. b. Plain or flat face joints
c. Van Stone joints
d. Lapped joints
e. Welding neck flanged joints
"SpiraSeal" Style WR Gaskets are available in standard sizes for
ASME 816.5 Flanges in petrochemical and refinery piping in accor-
dance with ASME 816.20, in all sizes and pressure ratings covered by
these standards. This type gasket is also available in standard sizes to MIL-
G-24716and DIN specifications.
Standard Style WR Gaskets are manufactured of Type 304 Stainless Steel
winding and <:;:hlorocarb@ (non-asbestos) non-metallic filler. Lamons stan-
dard non-asbestos material Chlorocarb@(Mica-Graphite) performs similarly
to asbestos in many applications. Additional technical data and specifica-
tions are available on request. Standard WR Gaskets are fabricated and
stocked for all sizes and series. WR Gaskets are available on special order
with a choice of any metal winding and non-metallic filler listed on page 2.
Sealing members of Standard "SpiraSeal" WR Gaskets are manufactured
to a thickness of .175", :1:0.005"measured across the metal windings. Op-
timum compression ranges from a thickness of .125" to.135", dependent
upon flange finishes and operating conditions. Within this range, compres-
sion of the gasket provides adequate seating loads and further ad-
justments can be made. Simple feeler gauge measurements may be used
to determine compression where precision is required.
Unless otherwise specified, the standard gauge ring thickness is 0.117" to
0.131".The carbon steel gauge ring is an integral part of this spiral wound
gasket. It performs the following important functions:
'-' a. Centers the gasket in the joint
b. Furnishes extra radial strength to help prevent gasket blow-out
c. Resistsatmospheric conditions
d. Helps prevent overcompression of the sealing element

NOTE
'-
ASME
616.20 calls for the use of inner rings on these sizes of gaskets to prevent over compression damage which might occur due to the
high available bolt loading. See page 13 for dimensions of inner rings. The purchaser should specify the material desired for inner ring
construction.
a The gasket outside-diameter tolerance for NPS 1/2 through NPS 8 is :1:0.03,for NPS 10 through NPS 24. +0.06 inch, -0.03 Inch.
b The gasket inside-diameter tolerance for NPS 1/2 through NPS 8 is :1:0.016,for NPS 10 through NPS 24, :1:0.03inch.
c ASME 616.20 calls for the use of inner rings with PTFE filled Spiral wound gaskets in all sizes and Pressure classes.
