I recommend a gasket specifically designed for heat exchangers

The hot and cold cycles experienced by heat exchangers pose a severe challenge to the sealing performance of gaskets; therefore, I would like to recommend a new type of wound gasket and share it with everyone. Those who are interested can send me a private message
Only the partial material is visible; there is no comparison with the finished gasket or traditional wound gaskets.
The cross-sectional view below shows the comparison: the steel strip is thicker, and it also has sufficient resilience
It is not recommended to reuse any gaskets, as repeated use affects their resilience
It is not recommended to reuse gaskets; although problems may not necessarily arise, a single issue can result in heavy losses that far exceed the cost of the gasket.
The gasket used here is the renowned \"change\" gasket; its introduction addressed the problem of traditional large-sized winding gaskets falling apart easily, while at the same time it possesses the rigidity of metal toothed gaskets (wave-shaped gaskets). At the same time, wound rubber gaskets have much greater resistance to creep and thermal cycling than spiral gaskets and toothed gaskets. Currently widely used in reactors and heat exchangers for processes such as reforming/hydrogenation/cracking/dehydrogenation. Further discussions are welcome.
