Sterling Seal CRG7000T.200.031.300X50 7000T Grafoil Ring Gasket - 2" Pipe Size, 1/32" Thick, Pressure Class 300#, 2.38" ID - Expanded Flexible Graphite Gasket (Pack of 50) - Ideal for High-Temperature Piping, Flange Connections, and Industrial Sealing Applications

Flexible graphite’s main attributes: resistance to heat, fire, corrosion and aggressive chemicals make it the most universally applicable sealing solution on the market today Sterling Seal & Supply Style 7000T products provide a tight seal after repeated exposure to the harshest environments Flexible graphite achieves optimal results where other materials fail to a wide range of temperatures including a minimum of [-400 Degrees F (-240 Degrees C), and maximum of +850 Degrees F (+454 Degrees C), (in atmosphere)] [+1200 Degrees F (+650 Degrees C) to +5432 Degrees F (+3000 Degrees C) in continuous reduction or inert media] Seals easily under moderate bolt loads and reduces gasket damage in handling and installation Homogeneous graphite sheets are manufactured from high carbon content (> 98%) natural graphite Ideal material for sealing applications like flange gaskets and valve stuffing boxes EXTERNAL PERFORMANCE TESTS AND APPROVALS • ROTT - Room Temperature Tightness Test • ARLA - Aged Relaxation Leakage Test (TTRL) • HATR - High Temperature Tensile Relaxation Screen Test • HOTT - High Temperature Tightness Test Superior sealability under low flange loads, high surface conformity to irregularities, unlimited shelf life are a few more major benefits of Style 7000T Style 7000 eliminates potential fluid from binder residue 7000T is made with grafoil grade 7000 flexible graphite mechanically bonded to both faces of a 0004 thick flat or mesh 316 stainless steel insert Please be advised to wear gloves when handling this product, some styles with inserts can be sharp when cut Sterling Seal & Supply of NJ Style 7000T made of expanded flexible graphite have proven their long-term reliability under extreme operating conditions over the course of many years While maintaining an effective seal, Sterling Seal & Supply Styles 7000, 7000I & 7000T exhibit virtually no creep relaxation As a result, the need for periodic bolt tightening is greatly reduced

You will get maximum performance from our gasket materials when you use our Gasket Installation Procedure. [1] Clean and inspect the flanges, surface or parts that require gasket

. [2] Clean or replace your bolts, nuts & washers. Lubricate the bolts, thread, nuts, washers and the underside of the head with Graphite based compound

. [3] Flat washers are recommended to assure even distribution of the bolting force. Ensure lubricant doesn’t gasket. Carefully insert the gasket between the mating surfaces

. [4] The use of a torque wrench is highly recommended. This assures a longer life and leak free performance. Whether an automotive head gasket or a flange gasket, it should be torqued

. [5] Make four even increment passes in a 12-6-3-9 o'clock pattern sequence. The appropriate stress on the gasket material you use is key to its success which varies depending material chosen
