At Metrade, we specialize in providing high-quality spiral wound gaskets with outer rings that offer superior sealing performance for water and industrial applications. We offer spiral wound gaskets with outer rings in various sizes, materials, and configurations to meet the specific needs of your system. Our gaskets are designed for durability, providing long-lasting sealing performance even in the most demanding conditions.

The outer ring of a spiral wound gasket is a crucial element that provides structural support, maintains the gasket’s shape, and ensures a proper seal in flanged connections. It is a metal ring placed around the outer edge of the spiral wound gasket, providing additional strength and sealing efficiency.

The outer ring is typically constructed from carbon steel, stainless steel, or other materials depending on the application’s requirements. The material chosen for the outer ring depends on the fluid, pressure, temperature, and environmental conditions of the system.

The outer ring enhances the structural integrity of the spiral wound gasket, keeping the gasket in shape during installation and under pressure. It prevents the gasket from losing its form, ensuring a tight seal. In high-pressure systems, the outer ring plays a critical role in preventing blowouts by maintaining the gasket’s integrity and ensuring that the sealing material remains tightly compressed, reducing the risk of system failure.
