Ordered as 7GSW6A1600, this is a green 316L Stainless Steel Class 150 Spiral Wound Gasket with a 16 inch nominal pipe size and a Class 150 pressure rating. The spiral wound gasket alternates metal windings with a soft filler so the gasket recovers elastically through thermal and pressure cycling.
This material stands up to high pressure, elevated temperature, and corrosion and oxidation. That behavior comes from the compound itself: 316L Stainless Steel is known for excellent corrosion resistance in washdown and marine service, a hygienic, cleanable surface suited to sanitary process lines. It should not be specified for service in galvanic pairing with dissimilar metals or chloride stress cracking in some grades.
Common environments for this compound include pharmaceutical, marine and offshore, and chemical transfer.
Order part number 7GSW6A1600, sold individually. Unit weight is approximately 3.75 lb. Review your operating media and conditions against this specification before installation.
