Applications: Used for boilers and heat exchangers, suitable for narrow sealing faces.
Properties: Metal jacket provides increased gasket stability and blow-out resistance. Chemical resistance to a wide range of media can be accommodated by selection of a suitable metal.
Corrugated gaskets are a highly versatile family of products, available in wide variety of configurations and suited to a wide range of application. For improved sealing performances the gaskets can be partially or completely covered.
Types of construction:
Double Jacketed: Constructed of soft filler encapsulated by a metal jacket and insert. High temperature & pressure application
Single Jacketed: Constructed of soft filler covered by a metal jacket on both sides and one face. The gasket is ideal for narrow applications or moderate service conditions.
Double Jacketed Corrugated (Soft Filler): The reduced contact area of the construction enhances compressive characteristics making it more suited to applications of lower bolt load or where flanges are uneven.
Double Jacketed with Corrugated metal filler: A corrugated gasket encapsulated with a flat or corrugated jacket. Designed for applications where the available bolt load is limited but there is a requirement for the type of high integrity joint associated with an all-metal gasket.
Single corrugated (No filler): Used mainly in valve applications and small recess gaps. The gasket is a wholly metal construction and therefore requires exacting conditions of flange surface finish and flatness.
