Specification of

Novafhite

Novaphit SSTC is a graphite gasket material with an insert from acid-proof stainless steel (1.4404, AISI 316 L) for highest pressure and temperature requirements. An excellent media resistance and the safety aspect even in applications with changing loads make the material superior. The expanded metal layer, due to its three-dimensional , non-intersecting geometry, is superior to standard graphite gaskets with tanged- and flat metal inserts, and shows its recovery properties in tongue and groove flange connections. Studies have proved that at a pressure of 40 MPa, the leakage is approx. 50% lower than for tanged metal gaskets. The graphite used in novaphit SSTChas a purity of at least 99% and proves its quality especially with its outstanding loss on ignition and oxidation values.
