gasket
The primary and secondary seals are continuous all around the gasket. The gasket has an excellent sealability, reducing leaks to the environment. The bars which seal between the heat exchangers passages are plasma or TIG welded with spot welds at each end. These welds should be soft and small to avoid areas of increased resistance to seating.

SIZES
STANDARD DIMENSIONS 3.2 mm gasket thickness gasket width 10, 13 and 16 mm bar width 8, 10 and 13 mm
Gaskets with outside diameter to 1000 mm are normally made with integrated bars. Gaskets with an outside diameter greater than 1000 mm are normally made with welded bars. According to the heat exchangers shapes and sizes other dimensions can be manufactured on request.

The spiral wound gaskets of MS10, MS12, MS14 or MS16 type can be manufactured with one or more metal jacketed bars (profile MP10) in different shape shown in drawing. Metal-jacketed bars are welded and made of the same material as the spiral windings. The standard thicknesses are 3.2 mm, 4.5 mm, 6.5 mm and 7.2 mm.
