Klinger KLINGERSIL C-4400 Aramid Fibre NBR Gasket Sheet

Description

Universal aramid-NBR sheet for water, oil, gas and steam joints

KLINGERSIL C-4400 is the universal grade of the Klinger fibre-reinforced gasket range: aramid fibres bonded with NBR, supplied as a green sheet. Klinger describes it as a material with a unique matrix that delivers an excellent combination of properties, and sells it on the message of higher safety for universal applications.

The datasheet lists resistance to oils, water, steam, gases, salt solutions, fuels, alcohols, moderate organic and inorganic acids, hydrocarbons, lubricants and refrigerants. The features Klinger highlights are a universal high-pressure material, dimensional stability and consistent material composition, with an excellent price and performance ratio and very good resistance to refrigerants as the stated benefits.

Choosing C-4400 within the KLINGERSIL range

C-4400 is the sensible starting grade when the medium is water, oil, gas or a refrigerant and the duty does not need the extra stress retention of C-4430 or the alkaline and superheated-steam capability of C-4500. The datasheet figures give a feel for the margin: the sheet loses about 10 % of its thickness at 23 °C and about 20 % at 300 °C under 50 MPa, and the residual stress after 16 hours at 300 °C is 25 MPa in the DIN 52913 test.

The ASME factors printed for 2.0 mm (y 15 MPa, m 1.6) are the numbers a designer needs for a flange calculation. The DVGW, KTW-BWGL and OVGW listings are relevant where drinking-water or gas-network approval is part of the specification; check each approval against the exact thickness and application in the Klinger approval documents.

Documents, ordering details and quotation

When you send an enquiry, give the medium and concentration, operating and test pressure, operating temperature, flange standard, facing and bolt data, the thickness you need and whether you want a full sheet or cut gaskets. The datasheet is the basis for selection, but Klinger notes that its values are typical and that installation conditions vary, so confirm the grade with your own engineering or with Klinger before ordering for a critical service.

About brand

Klinger is an Austrian manufacturer of gaskets and industrial sealing materials, with a company history that goes back to 1886 and a head office in Gumpoldskirchen. Seven Star LLC supplies Klinger gasket sheets to plant, maintenance and fabrication teams in Oman and the GCC on inquiry.

Fibre, graphite and PTFE gasket sheets

The Klinger sheets listed here include the aramid fibre KLINGERSIL grades, graphite based top-graph material and the PTFE sheets of the top-chem family. Each official datasheet gives the thickness range, pressure and temperature limits, gasket factors, chemical resistance and the approvals printed by the manufacturer.

Seven Star LLC links the manufacturer document on every product page, so buyers can verify the figures and approvals themselves before they send an inquiry.

Choosing the right sheet

The correct grade depends on the medium, temperature, pressure, flange design and bolt load. Send these details with your request for quotation and we compare them with the published Klinger data before we quote, so the sheet and thickness suit the joint. Sheets can be quoted as whole sheets or as gaskets cut to size.
