Klinger Quantum HNBR Fibre Gasket Sheet for High Temperature

Description

HNBR-matrix sheet that stays flexible at high temperature

KLINGER Quantum is the unique gasket material Klinger introduced in 2009 as a high-temperature sealing solution. A fibre and filler compound is bound in a high-temperature-resistant HNBR matrix, and the company highlights its greatest flexibility at high temperatures together with FDA conformity.

It is listed as the preferred choice for oils, water, steam, gases, salt solutions, fuels, alcohols, moderate organic and inorganic acids, hydrocarbons, lubricants and refrigerants. Klinger names the unique HNBR matrix, special curing technology, resistance to creep and cold flow and dimensional stability as key features, and long-term flexibility and temperature resistance as the benefits.

What the data says about Quantum at temperature

Quantum is the only sheet in this group whose hot-compression figure goes beyond 300 °C in the datasheet: thickness decrease is 14 % at 300 °C and 20 % at 400 °C under 50 MPa, compared with 10 % at 23 °C. Stress relaxation is 32 MPa at 175 °C and 30 MPa at 300 °C, and the tightness value of 0.02 mg/(s x m) with a specific leak rate of 4.4E-08 mbar x l/(s x m) are low values for a fibre sheet.

The sheet is supplied only in the large 2000 x 1500 mm format, in 0.8, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 and 3.0 mm. The ASME factors are y 15 MPa and m 2.5. Approvals printed include oxygen-tested, DIN-DVGW, TA-Luft, Fire-Safe to DIN EN ISO 10497 and FDA conformity.

Documents, ordering details and quotation

Please give the maximum temperature and thickness required, since Quantum is cut from the 2000 x 1500 mm sheet. For a firm quotation please give the medium, pressure, temperature, flange details, bolt load available, thickness and quantity, and say if you need whole sheets or finished gaskets. As Klinger itself points out, the printed data cannot cover every installation, so have the final choice reviewed against the actual operating conditions. More products are shown in gaskets, seals and pipe fittings.

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.
