Choosing the right gasket for your application is essential to maintaining high productivity and revenue. However, making the wide range of metal gaskets are available to determine hard what type of metal seal is best for your particular application. To select the right fit for your application, it is important to understand what types of metal seals are best with respect to temperature, corrosion and pressure.
Spiral wound gaskets: The elastic spiral wound gasket is ideal for applications with varying temperature and pressure conditions. Spiral wound gaskets have the flexibility and strength to obtain a seal under varying pressure, temperature and corrosion.
Metal jacketed gaskets: for heat exchangers, condensers, compressors, jacketed pumps, turbines, and more metal seals include both single coated and double coat. Single jacketed gaskets are designed for applications with low flanges, while jacketed gaskets are ideal for high temperature and corrosive applications.
Sells Metal RTJ gaskets: aka Ring joint gaskets, RTJ gaskets for use in extreme applications. RTJ gaskets are suitable for applications where corrosion is present.
