Reinforced graphite gasket with nickel coating Euroseal® 212 NNK
The EUROSEAL® 212 NNK is a reinforced graphite gasket with nickel coating by General Packing Italy is the most advanced solution for high-performance industrial applications. The perfect balance between the mechanical strength of AISI 316L stainless steel, the sealing performance of expanded graphite, and the protection offered by the nickel coating makes it the ideal technical choice for critical systems.
Structure and Materials
The 212 NNK is a graphite and nickel-reinforced gasket composed of:
-
A tanged AISI 316L insert with a grater-like profile, ensuring perfect mechanical bonding between the graphite layers;
-
Two layers of expanded graphite, processed in-house by General Packing;
-
An external nickel coating that protects against oxidation at temperatures above 450°C;
-
Inner ring: prevents fluid passage and enhances structural rigidity;
-
Outer ring: facilitates flange insertion and ensures perfect centering.
