Hofland spiralwound
gaskets fig. G2004
Hofland spiralwound gaskets consist of a
V-shaped metal strip spirally wound in
combination with a soft, filler material. The
metal strip provides outstanding
recovery, while the flexible filler
guarantees excellent sealing. Due to this
combination of materials the Hofland
spiralwound gasket is suitable for sealing
under severely fluctuating temperature and
pressure conditions. Depending on the
application the spiralwound gasket can be
specified with outer and/or inner rings.
properties
Hofland spiralwound gaskets are suitable for use across a wide gasket
stress range.
Hofland spiralwound gaskets can be used to seal fluid pressures up to
250 bar and from cryogenic temperatures up to elevated temperatures
of 1000C.
Because of its sturdy design the Hofland spiralwound gasket is simple
to install without being damaged (although extra care should be taken
during transportation and installation of large diameter gaskets without
inner or outer guide rings).
The outer guide ring simplifies assembly and prevents blow-out of the
gasket.
By combining different winding materials and metals, the gasket can
be tailored to suit a wide variety of operating conditions.
Because of its non-adhesive properties the gasket is easy to remove
after service.
The gasket does not cause any damage to the flange faces.

HX-RIR
This gasket consists of filler and V-shaped metal strip wound in combination. This profile is usually used in male/female and tongue/groove
flanges.
This gasket type is identical to HX-R, but also fitted with an inner ring,
rendering this gasket type suitable for mounting in male and female
flanges.

For spiralwound gaskets with straight sides (e.g. for gate valve bonnets)
we recommend that an inner ring be used if the length/width ratio > 2.

filler selection
filler material:
The table below may be used to select the correct filler. It should be
pointed out that graphite will be the optimum filler in most cases. Only
where graphite could cause media pollution, or is not chemically resistant, should the use of another type of filler material be recommended. In
such cases, an alternative solution might be to use a gasket with GT-zone.
See page 21.
