Champion Style 20 is a general-purpose gasket sheet designed for medium-duty industrial sealing applications. It provides good compressibility, recovery and sealing performance and is commonly used for steam, condensate, water, air, gases, oils and solvents, subject to service conditions and chemical compatibility. Types Available Style 20 Red: Non-metallic version Style 20 Metallic: Steel wire gauze reinforced version with graphite anti-stick finish The non-metallic version is identified by its red colour, while the metallic version is graphited black. Construction High-grade fibre Special fillers and binders Metallic version with steel-wire gauze reinforcement Graphite anti-stick surface on the metallic version Temperature & Pressure Rating Type Maximum Continuous Temperature Maximum Pressure Style 20 Red 380°C 35 bar (3.5 MPa) Style 20 Metallic 415°C 40 bar (4 MPa) These are maximum limits; actual suitability depends on the combined pressure-temperature conditions and service medium. Available Thickness 0.5 mm 0.75 / 0.8 mm 1.0 mm 1.5 mm 2.0 mm 3.0 mm 4.0 mm 5.0 mm Typical Physical Properties Density: 2.0–2.2 g/cm³ Tensile Strength: ≥9.5 MPa Compressibility: 7–12% Recovery: ≥42.5% Gas Permeability: <0.5 cc/min Ignition Loss: ≤20% Features Good general-purpose sealing performance Suitable for low to medium service duties Good compressibility and recovery Easy to cut into custom gasket sizes Available as sheets and pre-cut gaskets Metallic version offers additional mechanical strength Suitable for flanges with relatively low bolt loading Applications Steam pipelines Condensate lines Water pipelines Air and gas lines Oil lines General industrial flanges Pumps and valves Low to medium pressure industrial equipment Standards Champion Style 20 is listed as complying with IS 2712:1971 Grade C and IS 2712:1998 Grade W/3.
