Rick/Mike I have just subsribed to this mailing list and have missed the beginning of this thread.
Currently I have a problem with gaskets, BeCu fingers, from both a user acceptance (safety reasons) and a durability perspective. When you say spiral gaskets what do you mean ? I presume Spira is a type of spiral gasket ? Where can I get info/specs/samples from?

I assume the Spira gaskets are the same or similar. If so, they are working MUCH better than the fingers we replaced. Durability is better, insertion resistance lower and in our case we have been able to mix and match with no apparent degradation.

I have recommended their POSSIBLE use to one of my clients for sealing around some single-board computer VME cards; however, I have not directly evaluated the performance of Spira gaskets. Their literature makes great claims (up to 130 dB SE out to 1 GHz), but has any of our readers personally evaluated their effectiveness?
