(Continued on page 951 N-TIME" The operating department of o large Texas company saved one complete day in putting their plant back on the line after a maintenance shut-down. They saved an estimated $45,000 end gave all the credit to Flexitallic Spiral-Wound Gaaketa. lt'a the amexing epring-action of Flexitallic Gaaketa that simplifies the making and breaking of flanged joints Only i/16-inch breakaway is required*--and that's important at valves or where there ia close manifolding of the piping , . , Each Flexitallic Gaaket ia engineered to meet specific conditions of thermal and physical 'shock, corrosion, vibration, weaving and unpredictable joint stresses. Spirally wound V-crimped plies of required metal with alternating piles of proper filler results in a resilient gasket having characteristics of a calibrated spring. Flexitallic Gaskets are at highest efficiency when bolted up cold at a predeter mined load. For all pressure/temperature ranges from vacuum to 10,000 lbs., from extreme sub-zero to 2000* F. For all standard joint assemblies. In four thicknesses for special requirements: ,125*, .175*, .250', ,285'. With Teflon filler for corrosive chemical conditions.
