How to choose between 4.5mm and 3.2mm metal spiral wound gaskets in terms of thickness? Under what circumstances should I choose thin ones, and under what circumstances should I choose thick ones?
In the same pressure level, there are 3.0 and 4.5mm wound gaskets. Generally, large-size gaskets are easy to fall apart. Using 4.5mm has better reliability during transportation and installation. However, there is no need to use thick gaskets for small sizes. In theory, starting from 4.5mm gaskets The cross-section sealing points of the gasket are more than 3.0. For example, the W-type has two more sealing points than the V-type, and can have a relatively small specific pressure. However, this advantage is not obvious when used in small gaskets. It is recommended to consider using thick gaskets with a diameter of at least greater than 500.
