Industrial gaskets are critical sealing solutions installed between mating surfaces – most commonly flanges – to prevent the leakage of liquids and gases. Designed to perform under pressure, they deform under bolt load to fill surface irregularities, while maintaining the resilience required to ensure a tight and reliable seal throughout operation.
Selecting the right gasket is critical to achieving reliable sealing performance. Key factors such as pressure, temperature, media compatibility, flange design, surface condition, and available bolt load must all be considered. The ideal solution delivers the optimal balance of compressibility, recovery, chemical resistance, and blowout protection – ensuring safety, efficiency, and long-term reliability.
Sheet gaskets are versatile, high-performance sealing solutions suitable for water, air, oils, and a wide range of chemicals. The choice of material fibre, rubber-bound, or PTFE depends on media compatibility and operating temperature. These gaskets are ideal for general flange sealing and routine maintenance applications.
Best for: General-purpose sealing and broad media coverage (material-dependent).
Spiral wound gaskets combine metal and filler materials to deliver reliable sealing under higher pressures and temperatures. Their excellent resilience makes them ideal for steam and process lines, especially where thermal cycling occurs. The optimal configuration depends on flange type and required stability.
Best for: Steam applications, thermal cycling, and high pressure/temperature service.
RTJ gaskets are precision-engineered metal rings designed for high-pressure, high-integrity flange connections. They require matched groove flanges and the correct material selection to suit the medium and operating conditions. RTJ gaskets are ideal where controlled sealing and maximum robustness are essential.
Best for: High-pressure applications and critical joints with RTJ flanges.
Graphite-based gaskets and high-temperature sealing solutions provide reliable performance in demanding conditions, including elevated temperatures, steam, and aggressive media. Proper selection depends on oxidation conditions, flange stress, and the required sealing class.
Best for: High-temperature applications and challenging process conditions (selection-dependent).
Provide your medium, temperature, pressure, and flange details. If you’ve experienced leaks, include where and when they occur (start-up, thermal cycling, or after maintenance). We’ll recommend the ideal gasket type along with practical installation guidance to ensure reliable, leak-free performance.
