The principle
The KLINGERmaxiflex function is
based on the metal winding/ filler relationship and the flange surfaces.
The surface roughness should be
approx. Ra 3.2 m. KLINGERmaxiflex
gaskets can be used in flanges with
larger surface roughnesses, but in this
case the bolt loads should be increased so as to ensure proper function of
the gasket.
When the KLINGERmaxiflex gasket is compressed during mounting,
the homogeneous filler flows into
the irregularities of the flange. The
metal windings enclose the filler and,
at the same time, ensure the strength
and elasticity of the gasket.
If the gasket is equipped with an
PTFE filler it must have an inner ring
since the PTFE permits no further
compression, as is the case with other
fillers. On the one hand, it prevents
the gasket from springing open and
on the other, penetration of the flowing PTFE in the pipeline. The larger
the surface roughnesses in the flange
surface, the larger the surface load
required to permit a flow of the PTFE
in the irregularities.
Mounting
The bolts should be free of damage
and lubricated with high-temperature
resistant greases before mounting.
Insert the gasket and fasten bolts
finger-tight.
Next, tighten the bolts crosswise
(see sketch) in at least 3 to 4 passes.
The more passes you perform, the
more uniform the force which is introduced into the flange-gasket system.
In the last pass, the bolts must be
tightened only clockwise.

Mounting Instructions
The principle
The spiral wound function is
based on the metal winding/ filler relationship and the flange surfaces.
The surface roughness should be
approx. Ra 3.2 m. These gaskets
can be used in flanges with larger
surface roughnesses, but in this
case the bolt loads should be
increased so as to ensure proper
function of the gasket.
When the gasket is
compressed during mounting,
the homogeneous filler flows into
the irregularities of the flange. The
metal windings enclose the filler and,
at the same time, ensure the strength
and elasticity of the gasket.
If the gasket is equipped with a
PTFE filler it must have an inner ring
since the PTFE permits no further
compression, as is the case with other
fillers. On the one hand, it prevents
the gasket from springing open and
on the other, penetration of the flowing PTFE in the pipeline. The larger
the surface roughnesses in the flange
surface, the larger the surface load
required to permit a flow of the PTFE
in the irregularities.
Mounting
The bolts should be free of damage
and lubricated with high-temperature
resistant greases before mounting.
Insert the gasket and fasten bolts
finger-tight.
Next, tighten the bolts crosswise
(see sketch) in at least 3 to 4 passes.
The more passes you perform, the
more uniform the force which is introduced into the flange-gasket system.
In the last pass, the bolts must be
