What is the EUROSEAL® 212 Al gasket?

The EUROSEAL® 212 Al is a flat gasket made of reinforced graphite and aluminum, engineered to ensure maximum reliability under severe operating conditions. It consists of two layers of expanded graphite coated with aluminum, reinforced by a mechanically bonded 316L stainless steel tang insert. Thanks to its structure, it is an ideal sealing solution for systems requiring high performance, chemical resistance, and easy installation.

Composition: Reinforced graphite with aluminum and 316L stainless steel insert

Technical Composition

The EUROSEAL® 212 Al stands out for its advanced technical design:

  • Two layers of expanded graphite for superior sealability and resilience

  • Aluminum coating on both sides, offering non-toxicity, ductility, and low thermal emissivity

  • 316L stainless steel tang insert, ensuring mechanical bonding without adhesives and high corrosion resistance

  • Inner rim: blocks fluid from passing through the gasket

  • Outer rim: helps center the gasket between flanges

Technical Properties and Performance

  • Maximum service temperature: 350°C

  • Maximum pressure: 75 bar

  • Compressibility: 15%

  • Recovery: 40%

  • m factor: 3

  • y factor: 4000 psi

These properties make the 212 Al gasket a reliable and versatile solution for a wide range of industrial conditions.

Key Benefits

  • High corrosion resistance thanks to 316L steel and aluminum

  • Excellent thermal and electrical conductivity

  • Outstanding plasticity and ductility

  • Non-stick surface: easy to remove and replace
