PART NUMBER ANALYSIS

To properly select or replace this material

Key Design Features of this Construction

In FGL316, the bond between the foil core and the flexible graphite relies on an adhesive. This represents a distinct engineering difference compared to mechanically bonded, tanged core laminates.

Key Criteria for Selecting a Replacement

Prior to substituting one graphite laminate for another, verify the overall thickness, core insert type, adhesive presence, and specific process requirements.

To compare construction styles: Garlock GRAPH-LOCK 3125SS and KLINGER Graphite Laminate SLS. The graphite grade and core bonding method can significantly affect gasket sealing performance.
