The serrated gasket 9598 has a concentrically-machined profile based on a 4 mm thick stainless steel base plate. This is coated on both sides with a 0.5 mm thick layer of pure graphite (purity ≥ 99.85% or > 98%). Thicker layers are available on request. The serrated gasket 9598 is easy to handle and is particularly suitable for applications in the chemical and petrochemical industries and in power station technology.
Pressure: p = 400 bar

Recommended surface roughness:
Rz = 12.5 ... 50 μm

After the initial warm-up, we recommend retightening the bolts (with the system depressurized) in order to compensate for any minor settling of the overlay material and thus maintain optimum surface pressure. If the gasket is replaced, the undamaged serrated profile ring can be reused.
