BIRKOSIT for Steam & Gas Turbines
One of the most important applications for BIRKOSIT Dichtungskitt® is metal-to-metal turbine sealing.
Steam and gas turbine casings operate under severe combinations of heat, pressure and vibration. Even small imperfections between mating surfaces can contribute to leakage and reduced operating efficiency.
BIRKOSIT Dichtungskitt® can be applied between prepared metallic mating surfaces to help provide a reliable seal while retaining permanent elasticity.
Typical turbine applications include:
- Steam turbine casing joints
- Gas turbine sealing surfaces
- Turbine split lines
- Turbine overhaul and maintenance
- Metallic butt joints
- Generator assemblies
- Turboexpanders
- Power-generation equipment
BIRKOSIT for Compressors
High-pressure compressor casings and metallic joints require sealing materials capable of handling temperature, pressure and vibration.
BIRKOSIT Dichtungskitt® is suitable for:
- Compressor casing joints
- Split casing compressors
- Compressor overhaul
- High-pressure metallic interfaces
- Flanges and housings
- Process compressor maintenance
Its non-curing characteristics also provide maintenance teams with flexibility during equipment assembly and alignment.
BIRKOSIT for Pumps, Valves & Flanges
BIRKOSIT can also be used on prepared metal-to-metal surfaces found in:
- Industrial pumps
- Pump casings
- Valves
- Gear units
- Flange connections
- Equipment housings
- Threaded connections
- Marine engines
- Mechanical and process equipment
This makes BIRKOSIT particularly useful for maintenance departments handling multiple types of rotating and stationary equipment.
Suitable Industries
Power Generation
Suitable for steam turbines, gas turbines, generators, compressors, pumps and other critical power-generation equipment.
Oil & Gas
For high-temperature and high-pressure metallic sealing applications in refineries, gas processing facilities, petrochemical plants and associated rotating equipment.
Petrochemical & Process Industries
Suitable for maintenance and overhaul of pumps, compressors, valves, flanges and industrial machinery exposed to demanding operating environments.
Marine & Offshore
Suitable for marine engines, pumps, compressors, gear units and other metallic equipment requiring dependable sealing.
Mechanical & Plant Engineering
For equipment assembly, overhaul and maintenance where metallic mating surfaces must withstand demanding temperature and pressure conditions.
How to Apply BIRKOSIT Dichtungskitt®
For optimum application, bring the BIRKOSIT container to room temperature before use.
Application Procedure
- Ensure both metallic sealing surfaces are dry and properly prepared.
- Apply BIRKOSIT Dichtungskitt® to both mating surfaces using a brush or spatula.
- Maintain an approximate layer thickness of 0.2–0.3 mm.
- Assemble the components according to the equipment manufacturer’s specified procedure and tightening requirements.
- The assembled joint can be subjected to load immediately.
BIRKOSIT does not require conventional curing and remains flexible, providing an unlimited assembly time.
Always follow the current BIRKOSIT technical data sheet and the equipment manufacturer’s maintenance and assembly instructions.
BIRKOSIT vs Conventional Gasket Sealants
BIRKOSIT Dichtungskitt® should not be considered simply another general-purpose RTV silicone or conventional gasket maker.
It is engineered specifically for precision metallic sealing surfaces operating under combinations of extreme temperature and pressure.
This makes it particularly relevant for heavy industrial applications such as:
Steam turbines → Gas turbines → Compressors → Generators → Pumps → Valves → Flanges → Gear units → Marine engines
For critical rotating equipment and precision-machined metal joints, correct sealant selection can directly affect leakage control, reliability and maintenance performance.
