Metallic & Metal Gaskets

Metallic Gaskets are used for sealing higher temperature and pressure applications, where non-asbestos materials will fail. Typical applications are for heat exchangers, compressors, condensers, pumps, and valves.

Below are some of the metallic gasket materials and material manufacturers we work with to help you with your specific metal gasket needs.

SPIRAL WOUND Gaskets

Made by winding alternating strips of metal and soft filler material, such as flexible graphite or PTFE. Ideal for standard flanges, heat exchangers, boiler handholes, manholes and other high temperature, high pressure applications. This style has many variations and can be made from many different metals and may have an inner ring, outer ring, or both depending on application.

METAL JACKETED Gaskets

Metal Jacketed Gaskets, as the name suggests, consists of a metallic outer shell with either metallic or non-metallic compressed fiber filler. The filler material gives the gasket resilience, while the metal jacket protects the filler and resists pressures, temperatures, and corrosion.

 

RING TYPE JOINT (RTJ) Gaskets

Ring Joint Gaskets are precision machined, metal gaskets suitable for high pressure and high temperature applications. They are manufactured in strict accordance with API 6A, API 17D, and ASME B16.20. These high pressure gaskets come in a variety of types, sizes, and material combinations.

KAMMPROFILE Gaskets

This style is composed of a grooved metal core with a layer of graphite or other composition sheet material on both sides. They are ideal for standard pipeline and heat exchanger applications. There are 3 standard styles of Kammprofile gaskets: Ring, Fixed Guide Ring and Floating Guide Ring.

CORRUGATED METAL GASKET (CMG)

Corrugated Metal Gaskets, or CMG for short, can be furnished in several metals with various pitch grooves. These are designed for low to medium pressure applications on machined flanges.
