Curtiss-Wright is an Allied Distributor for the complete range of Flexitallic gaskets. Our broad assortment of gasket offerings allows us to provide the best fix your leaking application.
Though relatively new to the U.S. market, the FLEXPRO™ gasket has offered a tight, reliable seal in a wide range of applications throughout Europe since its development in Germany over 85 years ago. The FLEXPRO gasket features a concentrically serrated solid metal core with a soft, conformable sealing material bonded to each face. The soft facing material produces low stress gasket seating, while the serrated geometry of the metal core increases sealing performance by inducing stress concentrations on the sealing surfaces. The serrations minimize lateral movement of the facing material, while the metal core provides rigidity and blowout resistance. The FLEXPRO gasket exhibits excellent compressibility and recovery characteristics, maintaining joint tightness under pressure and temperature fluctuations, temperature differential across the flange face, flange rotation, bolt stress relaxation, and creep. It is suitable for applications from vacuum to extremely high pressure.
