KLINGER Style 139 Spiral Wound Gaskets are engineered for high-performance sealing in demanding industrial applications, such as pipelines, pressure vessels, and turbines. These gaskets combine the strength of metallic windings with the sealing properties of flexible fillers, ensuring a reliable seal under extreme conditions.
🔧 Construction & Design
KLINGER Style 139 gaskets consist of alternating layers of pre-formed metallic windings and compressible filler materials, spirally wound to create a resilient sealing element. The metallic windings provide mechanical strength and resilience, while the filler materials, such as graphite or PTFE, enhance sealing performance by accommodating flange surface irregularities and thermal expansion.
