STAINLESS STEEL TANGED GRAPHITE GASKET
A Stainless Steel Tanged Graphite Gasket is a high-performance sealing material manufactured from flexible expanded graphite reinforced with a stainless steel tanged insert. The stainless steel core significantly improves mechanical strength, blowout resistance, and handling stability while maintaining the excellent sealing capability of graphite.
This gasket type is specifically developed for high temperature, high pressure, and critical industrial sealing applications where conventional soft gaskets may fail. Stainless Steel Tanged Graphite Gaskets are widely used in oil & gas, petrochemical, power generation, chemical processing, marine, and industrial piping systems.
