Valvograph V48EN

Composition

Energized Expanded Mineral Graphite with Nickel N foil.

Characteristics

The Valvograph V48EN graphite sealing ring gaskets for valves, thanks to their variable specific density, offer an optimal combination of compressibility and strength, adapting to the different pressure requirements of industrial applications. The density can be adjusted to the customer's requirements, if technically feasible. Their construction with pure energized expanded graphite provides greater resilience and reliability.

Applications

These graphite rings are ideal for sealing industrial valves in services compatible with graphite. Thanks to their high thermal and chemical resistance, they are suitable for a wide range of industrial applications that require reliable performance and optimal sealing.
