Metal Jacketed - Group Image 1

Are you tired of costly downtime caused by leaks in your high-pressure, high-temperature industrial systems? Frustrated with unreliable seals that compromise efficiency and safety? It’s time to discover the superior sealing solution: expertly engineered Metal Jacketed Gaskets. 

What are Metal Jacketed Gaskets?

Metal Jacketed Gaskets are high-performance seals combining a robust metal exterior (often stainless steel) with a compressible inner core. This unique design delivers exceptional durability, temperature resistance, chemical resistance, and leak-proof performance for demanding industrial applications.

 Ideal Features of Metal Jacketed Gasket

Durability: The metal jacket protects the softer inner filler from harsh chemicals and environments, making them ideal for long-lasting applications.

Temperature resistance: Metal jacketed gaskets can withstand high temperatures, depending on the specific materials used. Some can handle temperatures up to 700°C.

Resilience: The soft inner core allows the gasket to conform to uneven flange surfaces, creating a tight seal.

Pressure resistance: The metal jacket provides reinforcement, allowing the gasket to handle high-pressure applications.

Accommodates imperfections: Metal jacketed gaskets can be effective even with slight imperfections or misalignment of flanges, making them useful in situations where precise alignment is difficult.

FAQ's

Metal gaskets may leak due to inadequate surface preparation, improper installation techniques, insufficient bolt torque, flange misalignment, or damage to the gasket material.

 

A metal gasket seals by utilizing the inherent strength and deformability of the metal material to create a tight seal between two mating surfaces. When compressed between the flanges, the metal gasket undergoes plastic deformation, filling in surface imperfections and creating a barrier that prevents fluid or gas leakage.

In most cases, metal gaskets do not require additional sealant or gasket compound. Metal gaskets’ ability to deform and conform to flange surfaces, provides adequate sealing without the use of sealant. However, in certain applications or when specifically recommended by the manufacturer, a sealant or gasket compound may be used. It is important to follow the manufacturer’s recommendations and guidelines regarding the use of sealant, if necessary.

Our metal jacketed gaskets offer versatility in manufacturing with the ability to adopt various configurations. These gaskets commonly incorporate a non-asbestos, high-temperature gasket material filler suitable for applications reaching up to 900°F (482°C). For elevated temperatures or specific applications, alternative soft fillers are also accessible. The standard metals utilized in crafting jacketed gaskets include aluminum, copper, brass steel, nickel, Monel®, Inconel®, and stainless steel variations such as types 304, 316, 321, 347, and 410. The selection of jacket metal is contingent upon the specific service conditions encountered.
