BPG 9451
Properties
BPG 9451 Corrugated Metal Gaskets (CMG) is made of a corrugated stainless steel insert with a flat graphite foil layer applied on each side. The CMG gasket provides good resilience.
Applications
Due to its high compressibility and good resilience, BPG 9451 is suitable for thermal cycling conditions in petrochemical, oil and gas, process, chemical and power plant industries, especially for heat exchangers, pumps, valves and compressors.
