KLINGER Graphite Laminate XSM

KLINGER Graphite Laminate XSM is an expanded graphite sheet featuring specialized oxidation protection and a 0.1 mm tanged stainless steel insert, mechanically bonded without adhesive. Thermal performance must be verified based on operating atmosphere, oxidation risks, and specific installation conditions.

Our Quebec facility manufactures custom-cut flat gaskets to your exact specifications. VAMECA can also evaluate the supply of this part number or engineer a suitable replacement.

Material Construction and Performance

The primary advantage of XSM is its protection of graphite against high-temperature oxidation. The stainless steel tanged insert provides mechanical reinforcement without the use of resins or organic adhesives. The data sheet specifies a minimum graphite purity of 99% and sealing properties measured in accordance with DIN and ASTM standards.

Key Factors to Review Prior to Substitution

When replacing standard graphite with XSM, specify the temperature exposure duration, oxygen presence, available bolt load on the flange, and gasket thickness. Oxidation resistance does not make the material universally compatible with all media.

To compare constructions: KLINGER Graphite Laminate TSM and KLINGER Graphite Laminate PSM. The type of stainless steel reinforcement and mechanical bonding directly affect bolt loads and blowout resistance.
