Tensograph sheets type P1

Reinforced graphite sheets P1

Graphite sheets TENSOGRAPH^® type P1 are manufactured using a whole range of TENSOGRAPH® graphite foils followed by further reinforcement with a 0.1 mm (.004") thick tanged 316 stainless steel insert to enhance surface load and blow-out safety. Sheets are designed to provide reliable long-term service and suitable for most industrial fluid sealing applications. Due to high thermal and mechanical resistance TENSOGRAPH^® sheets type P1 are a perfect solution for applications with drastic thermal changes and pressure fluctuations.

APPLICATIONS

• Flange connections for piping, vessels, machinery;

• Chemical and petrochemical industries, processing industries;

• Steam systems.

MAIN FEATURES AND PROPERTIES

• Single piece steel core for both 1000 mm (40") and 1500 mm (60") sheets available;

• Impermeability to gases and fluids;

• Great chemical and thermal resistance;

• Suitable for oxidising and corrosive medias (Tensograph^® C);

• Blow-out safety;

• Zero sulphur and halogen content;

• High recovery and compressibility;

• Good leakage properties (DIN 3535-6);

• Fire-safety approved (API Specification 6FB – Tensograph^® C);

• Low coefficient of friction;
