Crane-foil Flexible Graphite Gasket

 

Crane-foil is a premium grade flexible graphite gasket material used in a wide range of services, where conventional gaskets will not withstand extreme temperature and/or pressures.

Crane-foil gaskets feature the benefits of graphite including resistance to most fluids, high temperatures, and pressure changes. They provide excellent sealing, preventing product leakage, and minimizing change outs. Resistance to cold flow, weathering and aging make Crane-foil ideal where increased reliability is necessary.

 

 
Design Features
 

Typical properties of Crane-foil packing
Crane-foil has excellent compressibility characteristics under moderate loads, further reducing costs associated with installation and bolt retorquing. Stainless steel inserted gaskets provide additional strength for higher pressure applications.
