Graphite Sheet with Metal Mesh for Flange, Boiler and Petrochemical Gasket Applications

Kaxite Graphite Sheet with Metal Mesh is a flexible graphite sheet reinforced with an SS304, SS316 or nickel mesh insert. The mesh insert is bonded into the graphite structure during the pressing process, which raises tensile strength and blow-out resistance for high-pressure, high-temperature flange and gasket applications.

Product Overview

Graphite Sheet Reinforced with metal mesh insert is made from Kaxite B201 Flexible Graphite Sheet through a specially pressing or sticking process. The insert materials can be SS304, SS316, Nickel, etc. The product is used in a wide range of conditions and gasket types.

Kaxite B204N is the unclear (nuclear) grade flexible graphite sheet used for higher-purity service. For buyers who need non-reinforced sheet, plain sheet or foil-laminated versions are also available in the Graphite Sheet category. For a broader material overview, see Compression Sheets.

Why Kaxite Graphite Sheet with Metal Mesh

A

Metal Mesh Reinforcement

SS304, SS316 or nickel mesh insert bonded into the graphite structure raises tensile strength and blow-out resistance.

B

Two Grades Available

Industrial grade (98-99% C) and nuclear grade (99.5% C, lower S and Cl) to match your project specification.

C

Long Service Life

Permanently elastic across hot-cold cycles. No aging, no brittleness, no hot or cold flow. Less maintenance over time.

D

Asbestos Replacement

Direct replacement for asbestos gasket material. New high-temperature and chemical applications continue to be identified.

E

Good Compressibility

30% compressibility and 15% recovery give good flange conformity and fine compensation of surface irregularity.

F

Custom Cutting

Die-cut flange gaskets, heat exchanger gaskets, and custom shapes produced from your DXF, DWG or PDF drawing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Graphite Sheet with Metal Mesh?

Graphite Sheet with Metal Mesh is a flexible graphite sheet reinforced with a metal mesh insert such as SS304, SS316 or nickel. The mesh insert is bonded into the graphite structure during pressing or lamination, which increases tensile strength and blow-out resistance for high-pressure flange and gasket applications.

What mesh insert materials are available?

SS304, SS316, nickel, tanged metal and metal foil inserts are available. SS304 and SS316 are the most common for petrochemical and power applications. Nickel insert is used for higher temperature or specific corrosion requirements.

What is the difference between industrial grade and nuclear grade?

Nuclear grade uses higher carbon content (99.5% vs 98-99%), tighter density tolerance (±0.05 vs ±0.06 g/cm³), higher tensile strength (5-25 MPa vs 3-20 MPa), lower sulfur and chlorine content, and lower ignition loss (0.5% vs 2.0%). Nuclear grade is specified for power plant and nuclear service.

What is the service temperature range?

The recommended service temperature range is -240°C to +550°C in oxidizing environment. In non-oxidizing or reducing environments, graphite sheet can be used at higher temperatures.

What sheet thickness and size do you offer?

Standard sheet thickness is 0.5 mm, 1.0 mm, 1.5 mm, 2.0 mm, 3.0 mm and above. Standard sheet size is 1000 x 1000 mm, 1500 x 1500 mm and other custom sizes. Custom thickness and die-cut gaskets are available.

What is the typical MOQ and lead time?

MOQ and lead time depend on sheet thickness, mesh insert material, grade and quantity. Typical lead time is 7-15 days for standard sizes and 15-25 days for custom die-cut gaskets. Send your specification for a firm quotation.

Can you supply die-cut gaskets from this sheet?

Yes. Kaxite can die-cut flange gaskets, heat exchanger gaskets, and custom-shaped gaskets from Graphite Sheet with Metal Mesh according to your drawing. Send a DXF, DWG, PDF or sample for quotation.

How do I request a quotation?

Send your required thickness, mesh insert material (SS304, SS316, nickel), carbon grade (industrial or nuclear), sheet size or die-cut drawing, quantity and destination port. Kaxite will reply with FOB Ningbo quotation, lead time and packing details.
