KLINGER top-graph 2000

KLINGER top-graph 2000 is a fibre-reinforced compressed sheet engineered with a graphite filler, combining the easy handling of fibre sheets with the proven high-performance properties of graphite.

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.

Construction and Material Behaviour

The graphite filler must not be equated with an expanded graphite core. The material is engineered for optimal load retention under high surface stress.

Key Verification Points Prior to Substitution

Compare operating curves, gasket creep relaxation, and flange metallurgy. Replacing laminated flexible graphite with a compressed sheet gasket cannot be determined solely on operating temperature.

To compare constructions: TEADIT NA1100 and Durlon 8900. Fibres, binders, and potential reinforcements vary. Verify exact construction specifications before any substitution.

KEY COMPARISON CRITERIA

Unlike KLINGER PSM or SLS expanded graphite sheet materials, top-graph 2000 is engineered as a graphite-filled fiber formulation, without the same metal reinforcement structure.
