Graphite ≥ 98% 1.0 g/cm³ Metal Mesh Reinforced -240 ~ +600°C
Direct answer: The KXT B204 Graphite Sheet with Metal Mesh is a reinforced expanded graphite sheet compressed from expanded graphite sheet and various steel sheets such as tanged, flat, or mesh. The KXT B204 has the characteristics of thermal stability, high strength, and no cold flow.
The KXT B204 Graphite Sheet with Metal Mesh is an ideal material for all kinds of reinforced graphite gaskets, engine heat gaskets, and other high-performance sealing applications. There are many types of reinforced expanded graphite sheet, such as reinforced expanded graphite sheet with SS304/304L insert, reinforced expanded graphite sheet with SS316/316L insert, and reinforced expanded graphite sheet with tinplate insert.
With metal mesh reinforcement, the KXT B204 Graphite Sheet delivers higher mechanical strength than non-reinforced graphite sheet, making it suitable for high-pressure and high-temperature flange sealing. Request a quote →

Mechanical Properties
Compressive Stability by Reinforcement Type
Direct answer: Compressive stability ranges from ≥ 40 N/mm² for metal mesh inserts up to ≥ 48 N/mm² for tanged steel inserts — higher compressive stability means better performance in high-pressure flange sealing.
| Inserted Material | Stability (N/mm²) | Oxidizing (°C) | Non-Oxidizing (°C) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tanged carbon steel (0.2–0.25 mm) | ≥ 48 | -10 ~ +450 | -10 ~ +550 |
| SS304 / SS316 Tanged (0.1–0.127 mm) | ≥ 48 | -240 ~ +450 | -200 ~ +600 |
| SS304 / SS316 Flat (0.05–0.7 mm) | ≥ 45 | -240 ~ +450 | -200 ~ +600 |
| SS304 / SS316 Mesh | ≥ 40 | -240 ~ +450 | -200 ~ +600 |
Sealing Performance
Compressibility, Recovery & Sealability
Direct answer: Per ASTM F36A-66, the KXT B204 Graphite Sheet with Metal Mesh delivers compressibility from 30–50% and recovery from 10–30% depending on insert type. Sealability on a 1.5 mm sheet is 30–60 ml/hr for nitrogen and less than 0.5 ml/hr for oil.
| Inserted Material | Compressibility (%) | Recovery (%) | Sealability N₂ (ml/hr) | Sealability Oil (ml/hr) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tanged carbon steel | 30–35 | 15–20 | 30 | < 0.5 |
| SS304 / SS316 Tanged | 30–40 | 15–30 | 60 | < 0.5 |
| SS304 / SS316 Flat | 40–50 | 10–15 | 35 | < 0.5 |
| SS304 / SS316 Mesh | 30–35 | 15–20 | 7000 | < 0.5 |
Sealability values measured on 1.5 mm sheet. Compressibility and recovery per ASTM F36A-66.
