Flexible Graphite TEADIT Style

2550/2551 Crinkled Flexible Graphite Tape

CONSTRUCTION
Styles 2550 and 2551 crinkled flexible graphite tape are made from high purity graphite with no fibers, binders or other additives. Style 2550 crinkled tape is typically used as a stuffing box packing for pumps and valves. Style 2551 is the same as 2550 except that it is furnished with a self-adhesive backing strip to facilitate installation as a form-in-place gasket, thread sealant, or for facing jacketed and other difficult-to-seal gaskets.

APPLICATION / SERVICE
Styles 2550 and 2551 Flexible graphite covers a broad range of sealing applications. It handles most chemicals in the 0 – 14 pH range at cryogenic and elevated temperatures, and from vacuum to extreme pressures. It is used extensively in the chemical, automotive and pump and valve industries.

2660/1660 Homogeneous Flexible Graphite Sheet

CONSTRUCTION
Style 2660/1660  flexible graphite sheet is made from exfoliated graphite flake which is compressed into foil by a carefully controlled calendering process. In this process, the expanded flake particles are mechanically locked together without the use of fibers, binders or other additives. Sheets of foil are then adhesive bonded and laminated to the required thickness.

APPLICATION / SERVICE
Style 2660/1660  flexible graphite sheet has pressure-temperature sealability capabilities that are far superior to all asbestos reinforced and non-asbestos reinforced sheet products. It is resistant to chemical attack by virtually all organic and inorganic fluids with the exception of concentrated, highly oxidizing acids.

Gaskets cut from Style 2660/1660 flexible graphite sheet seal with low to moderate bolt loads and because of very low creep relaxation, re-torquing is rarely required. Flexible graphite conforms to irregular flange sealing surfaces and readily flows into flange irregularities enabling it to seal both smooth and coarse surface finishes.

2661/1661 Stainless Steel Flexible Graphite Sheet Foil Inserted

CONSTRUCTION
Style 2661/1661  is a flexible graphite sheet reinforced with a 316ss foil, .002” thick. The flexible graphite sheet is made from exfoliated graphite flake which is compressed into foil by a carefully controlled calendaring process. In this process, the expanded flake particles are mechanically locked together without the use of fibers, binders or other additives. Sheets of foil are then adhesive bonded and laminated to the required thickness with the 316ss foil core in the center.
