When 900°F Seals Fail, Engineers Turn to Flexible Graphite Gaskets
In Singapore refineries and Indonesian geothermal plants, where traditional seals crumble under heat, Aohong’s Flexible Graphite Gaskets have become the go-to solution for flange leaks that other materials can’t fix. Here’s why:
“That batch with 4.5% density variation? Failed in Jakarta steam lines. Now we hold <5% like our plant safety depends on it.”
🔥 Engineering That Defies Extreme Heat
Our flexible graphite gaskets solve leaks with three patented breakthroughs:
- ✓ Carbon-Reinforced Matrix – 40% stronger tensile than standard graphite
- ✓ Laser-Cut Precision – ±0.1mm tolerance eliminates “ghost leaks”
- ✓ Oxidation Barrier – 2.5x longer life in cycling service
⚙️ Battle-Tested in the Toughest Conditions
Power Plants
- • Survived 500+ thermal cycles in 600°C boilers
- • Zero leaks after 18 months at Malaysia’s TNB facility
Chemical Plants
- • Resisted 98% H₂SO₄ spills that dissolved PTFE seals
- • Passed 6-month immersion tests in Singapore
Oil & Gas
- • API 6FB fire-safe certified
- • Stopped flange leaks on offshore Vietnam platforms
✂️ Custom-Built for Real-World Flanges
- • Thickness options: 0.5mm to 6.5mm (no more stacking gaskets!)
- • Metal facings: 304SS, 316SS, Monel, titanium – your choice
- • Odd shapes: We die-cut for warped or pitted flanges
“Always use spiral-wound retainers on pipes >12″ – prevents graphite blowout during pressure spikes.”
