PART NUMBER ANALYSIS

To properly select or replace this material

Material Construction and Performance

The mechanical bond between the graphite and the core insert enhances material strength and handling. The reinforcement is an integral core, not merely a surface coating.

Key Verification Points Prior to Substitution

For steam gaskets, verify bolt loads, operating temperature, and flange geometry. Differentiate between single-insert and double-insert constructions.

To compare constructions: Durlon FGT316 and Garlock GRAPH-LOCK 3125TC. While the metallic insert reinforces the graphite, its thickness, profile, and bonding method vary by grade.

KEY COMPARISON CRITERIA

PSM features a tanged metal insert, whereas PDM incorporates two, and SLS utilizes a flat foil core. The number and configuration of these reinforcements are critical.
