Construction and Material Characteristics

The tanged prongs mechanically bond the graphite to the core insert, eliminating the need for an adhesive-bonded flat foil. This reinforcement directly influences the blowout resistance and handling of cut gaskets.

Selecting a Replacement Reference

Identify the specific core metallurgy, flange bolt load, and thermal cycle requirements to properly evaluate the sheet style rather than relying solely on catalogue temperature limits.

To compare constructions: Durlon FGT316 and KLINGER Graphite Laminate PSM. The metallic core reinforces the flexible graphite, but its thickness, geometry, and bonding method vary by product grade.

KEY COMPARISON CRITERIA

Unlike the flat-insert GR 1520, the GE 1520 utilizes a tanged insert, while the GP 1520 is a homogeneous graphite sheet.
