The WR style is constructed with a metallic guide ring, metallic winding and a filler element. The winding is manufactured from metal in a complicated form of a spiral, in assembly with a filler material. The metallic winding, of special profile, provides excellent resistance, compensating the changes in operational conditions such as: variations of pressure and temperature, vibrations, thermal shocks, etc. The filler materials fill the irregularities of the flanges, assuring an airtight seal. Its external guide ring has the function of centering the gasket in the flanges and gives the sealing elements additional resistance to the flow pressure, avoiding also excessive bolt torque.
