BPG 6581

Properties

Cover Seals are supplied as pre-formed rings and offer proven high performance, especially in heavy-duty valves or high-pressure feed water pre-heaters. The products remain elastic even with fluctuating temperatures and seating stress up to 200 MPa. Clearances of up to 0.3 mm can be sealed without difficulty and even larger gaps can be controlled by BPG graphite rings reinforced with stainless steel springs integrated into the corners or full metal caps.

 

Applications

The product is designed for use in general valve, control valve, boiler and high pressure valve applications.

 

Design

BPG Cover Seals are specially manufactured according to specification and application requirements. Media pressure (MPa) and dimension (ID, OD) are the key operating factors which determine the correct design. BPG 6581 features an inside angle. More details on request.

 

Availability

BPG Cover Seals are available with a standard density of 1.6 g/cm³, with 99.85 % C-content in nuclear quality and 98 % industrial quality, in a wide range of variations e.g. rectangular, with inside or outside angle, with integrated extrusion protection in form of metal caps. Additional designs available on request.
