FLEXSEAL® RW, RWI and SW Gaskets
Style RW
¦General purpose gasket suitable for fat face and
raised face fanges up to Class 2500**
¦Centering ring accurately locates the gasket on the
fange face, provides additional radial strength, and
acts as a compression limiter
¦Spiral winding (sealing element) consists of pre-
formed metal and soft fller material
Style RWI
¦Suitable for fat face and raised face fanges up to
Class 2500**
¦Recommended for higher pressure applications, for
use with PTFE fllers, and when delineated by ASME
B16.20
¦Inner ring acts as compression limiter and protects
sealing elements from process media attack
Style SW
¦Suitable for tongue and groove, male-female, or
groove-to-fat face fanges†
¦Spiral winding only, containing preformed metal and
soft fller material
¦Also available with inner rings—Style SWI
Ordering Information
RW / RWI
When ordering specify:
¦Nominal pipe size and pressure rating or specifc
gasket dimensions
¦Winding and fller materials
¦Centering and/or inner compression ring material
SW
When ordering, specify:
¦O.D. and I.D. dimensions (and tolerance, if other
than standard—see page D-19)
¦Thickness of gasket
¦Winding and fller material
¦Inner ring material, if required (Style SWI)
¦Pressure rating
Advantages
¦Durable; easy installation and removal
¦Seals pressures to fange ratings, in accor-
dance with ASME B16.5
¦Suitable for temperatures from cryogenic to
2,000°F (1,093°C)*
¦Guide ring simplifes centering of sealing ele-
ment on the fange face
¦Designed solutions accommodate a variety of
conditions by combining various metals and
fller materials

* Consult Garlock Engineering for material recommendations above
950°F (510°C)
** Depending on gasket size, an inner ring is recommended for applica-
tions above Class 600, due to the high available bolt load.
