OKB Gidropress JSC shipped equipment components

In March 2022 OKB Gidropress JSC shipped 280 expanded graphite gaskets for Balakovo NPP, Unit 4. The gaskets will be used during the reactor plant equipment repair.

Expanded graphite gaskets of different sizes are designed and manufactured by OKB Gidropress JSC. They are used for sealing of the VVER reactor plants equipment sealing units at operating and newly commissioned NPP Units in Russia and abroad. 

Extended graphite gaskets can be used in thermal power engineering, petrochemical and automotive industries.

The Research and Production Division of OKB Gidropress JSC was one of the first who implemented the Production System of Rosatom (PSR) methodology and production culture into the business processes. The department for mechanisms and seals testing successfully implemented a number of PSR projects aimed at compliance with contractual deadlines for delivery of expanded graphite products.
