Round wire gaskets
Lathed rings and rings bended and welded from calibrated
wire can be supplied. Round wire gaskets are usually inserted in grooves. Some possible options are shown here.

Gasket profiles
If the gaskets are
generally elastically
deformed, the sealing surface width
arising should first
be calculated using
the following formula

2)
It should be noted that a small wire and/or sealing diameter
will place higher demands on the groove and on the gasket
with regard to size, tolerances and surface quality. Lathed
rings should be used in this case. With welded models,
strong plastic deformation is required.
If the material displays full plasticity, such as aluminium, soft
copper, silver or gold, the seal width bG is equal to the groove
width b. Full plastic deformation requires much higher bolt
loads than the more predominant elastic deformation.

The cross-section surfaces for full plastic
deformation should be dimensioned in
such a way that the round ring can fill the
groove cross-section in its deformed state.
Generally a gap of a few tenths of a millimetre should be left.
