Metal Jacketed Gaskets
Metal Jacketed gaskets consist of a metallic outer shell with either a metallic or non-metallic compressed fibre filler. The filler material gives the gasket resilience, while the metal jacket protects the filler and resists pressures, temperatures and corrosion.
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.
The metal jacketed gaskets especially are used in the area of the chemical, petrochemical and refinery industry as well as in the apparatus construction.
Metal jacketed gaskets are particularly ideal for sealing flat heat exchanger surfaces, gas pipes, cast iron flanges, and autoclaves and similar.
