BPG 9452 IE
Properties
BPG 9452 IE Corrugated Metal Gaskets (CMG) is made of a corrugated stainless steel insert with integrated corrugated graphite foil layer applied on both sides and fitted with an inner eye-let for higher blow-out safety. The CMG gasket provides excellent resilience.
Applications
Due to its high compressibility and excellent resilience, BPG 9452 IE is suitable for thermal cycling conditions in the petrochemical, oil and gas, process, chemical and power plant industries, especially for heat exchangers, pumps, valves and compressors.
