Novaphite SSTC specifications

Novaphit SSTC is a graphite gasket material with inserts from acid resistant stainless steel (1.4404, AISI 316 L) for the highest pressure and temperature requirements. Good media resistance and safety aspects even in applications with changing loads make the material superior. The expanded metal layer, due to three-dimensional geometry and non-intersection, is superior to standard graphite gaskets with tanged and flat metal inserts, and shows its recovery properties in tongue and groove flange connections. Studies have proven that at pressures of 40 MPa, the leakage is approx. 50% lower than tangent metal gaskets. The graphite used in SSTChas primitive numbers is at least 99% purity and proves its quality especially with the loss of exceptional ignition and oxidation values.
