Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The present invention is for sealing gaskets applicable to pipes, valves and boiler equipment. In this context, the present invention provides a sealing gasket for piping systems comprising (i) a core ( 10 ) formed by a plurality of concentric metal rings ( 10 a ), each ring ( 10 a ) comprising a substantially rectangular cross-section, wherein the height of the rectangular cross-section is the same for all the rings ( 10 a ), and (ii) surface coating ( 12 ) of flexible material applied to the upper and lower surfaces of the core ( 10 ). The present invention also provides the manufacturing process of said sealing gasket. Thus, the present invention provides a sealing gasket (i) that eliminates the need for an external rigid ring, (ii) that is easy to conform for reduced-diameter sealing gaskets and (iii) can be easily formed into different shapes, such as an oval shape, which is particularly useful for sealing between the body and the gate valve bonnet.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A sealing gasket for piping systems, comprising: a core ( 10 ) comprising a plurality of concentric metal rings ( 10 a ), each ring of the plurality of concentric metal rings comprising a rectangular cross-section, wherein the height of the rectangular cross-section is identical for all of the plurality of concentric metal rings ( 10 a ); and a surface coating ( 12 ) of a flexible material applied to upper and lower surfaces of the core ( 10 ), wherein the sealing gasket forms a circular or oval shape. 2. The sealing gasket of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of concentric metal rings ( 10 a ) comprises at least four rings. 3. The sealing gasket, of claim 1 , wherein each ring of the plurality of concentric metal rings ( 10 a ) comprises a substantially square cross-section. 4. The sealing gasket, of claim 3 , wherein the height and a width of the cross-section of each ring of the plurality of concentric metal rings ( 10 a ) ranges from 2 to 5 mm. 5. The sealing gasket of claim 4 , wherein the height and width of the cross-section of each ring of the plurality of concentric metal rings ( 10 a ) is 3 mm. 6. The sealing gasket of claim 1 , wherein each ring of the plurality of concentric metal rings ( 10 a ) is formed from at least one metal bar of a rectangular cross-section. 7. The sealing gasket of claim 1 , wherein the flexible material of the surface coating ( 12 ) is TEFLON or flexible graphite.
