Metal
clad gaskets consist of a metal jacket formed around a soft
filler material. Available in either a double jacketed or
single jacketed construction, in four main styles, as detailed
below.
Double jacketed gaskets are designed for high temperature/pressure
applications or where corrosion problems may exist with the
filler being completely enclosed in a two-piece metal jacket.
Single jacketed gaskets are designed for low/medium temperature pressure
applications particularly where only light bolting can be
applied.
The
recommended flange surface finish when using a metal jacketed gasket
is 100 micro inch CLA.
Standard jacket materials - soft iron, steel, SS316, SS304, SS321,
SS410, brass, copper, monel.
Standard filler materials - Non-asbestos, graphite, PTFE.
Other jacket and filler materials are available on request. |
