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: Metal jackets protect the inner filler, ensuring longevity in harsh environments.
- Temperature Resistance: Can withstand high temperatures, reaching up to 700°C, depending on materials.
- Resilience: Soft inner core conforms to uneven flange surfaces for tight seals.
- Pressure Resistance: Metal jacket reinforcement enables handling of high-pressure applications.
- Accommodates Imperfections: Effective even with slight flange imperfections or misalignment, useful in challenging alignment situations.
Metal Jacketed Gaskets are versatile sealing solutions widely used in industries such as Oil and Gas Refineries, Petrochemical Plants, Power Generation Facilities, Aerospace and Defense Industries, Chemical Processing Plants, and Mining and Minerals Processing.
Applications:
These gaskets excel in various uses, including Flanged Connections, Heat Exchangers, Pressure Vessels, and Pipeline Systems. Types of Metal Jacketed Gaskets:
– Double Jacketed Gaskets: Designed for high temperature and fluctuating conditions, with inner and outer metal jackets and a soft core (graphite or PTFE).
– Exchanger Gaskets (Double Jacketed): Provide robust sealing in demanding thermal environments with dual metal jackets and filler material.
– Double Jacketed Corrugated Gaskets: Combine double jacketing with grooves for adaptability and resilience on irregular flange surfaces and fluctuating conditions.
– Corrugated Metal Gaskets (CMG): Made from thin, flexible metal layers, adapting well to uneven flanges and variable conditions.
– Single Jacketed Gaskets: Balance cost and performance, featuring a single metal jacket with a soft core, suitable for general-purpose applications with moderate pressure and temperature.
