Segmented Rings
Segmented Rings
Helwig Carbon has the capability to manufacture segmented carbon graphite rings (segmented seal rings) up to 12 sections and 80” in diameter. Large carbon graphite segmental rings are used in hydro, gas, and steam turbines, among other applications. Our CNC machining centers allow us to precision machine these specialty graphite components to tolerances as tight as +/-.001”.

Advantages of Segmented Rings
Self Lubricating
One of the biggest advantages of using a carbon graphite segmented ring is its ability to self-lubricate, which eliminates the need for oils or greases that may fail in demanding environments.
Dimensional Stability Under Wide Temperature Variations
Carbon graphite segmented rings are dimensionally stable due to their low coefficient of thermal expansion.
Chemical Resistance
These segmented rings maintain performance in aggressive media and harsh industrial environments.
Impervious/Leak Proof
Carbon graphite segmented rings with resin impregnation ensures the ring is impervious.
Thermal Shock Resistance
Carbon graphite segmented rings provide resilience to rapid temperature changes.
Typical Applications for Segmented Rings
- Hydro Power Generation
- Gas & Steam Turbines (Traditional Power Generation)
- Pumps
- Oil Industry
Segmented Rings That Last
Thanks to their versatility and dependability, carbon graphite segmented rings continue to be a preferred choice across industries requiring precision, safety, and long-lasting performance.
