Birkosit Sealing/ Jointing Paste

BIRKOSIT - Dichtungskitt AR Sealing Compound has been used for 50 years on turbines (product development 1952 with Siemens). Without the additional sealing of individual pressure areas using BIRKOSIT - Dichtungskitt AR the production imprecision or the distortion under loads are no longer evened out, which means that the turbine areas in the individual pressure areas become permeable under pressure. This means the turbine loses power, and can even lead to unplanned reconditioning.

Birkosit Sealing/ Jointing Paste is formulated to be practically inert in its standard applications in steam and gas turbines. It is, therefore, resistant to exposure to hot air, steam, water, light fuel oils and lubricants. By implication, it should be resistant to crude oil and natural gas.

[main application]
single-component, paste sealing compound for sealing between machined surfaces (joints between parts) in steam and gas turbines at temperatures up to 900 A C and pressures up to 250 bar.
[other applications]
can also be used for sealing between smooth surfaces in compressors, housings, pumps etc. and by extension, in valve glands and screw joints.

[additional applications]
All kinds of screwed metal flange pipe connections (independent of flange diameter and shape). Their operating conditions are characterized by water, steam, pressure, high temperature
