BPG 9452
Properties
BPG 9452 Corrugated Metal Gaskets (CMG) are constructed from a corrugated stainless steel insert with corrugated graphite foil layers applied to both sides. This design combines strength with flexibility, providing excellent resilience and reliable sealing performance under varying operating conditions.
Applications
Due to its high compressibility and excellent resilience, BPG 9452 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.
