Double jacket Jacketed Gaskets
Double jacket Jacketed Gaskets
Metal Jacketed gaskets are the most basic type of semi-metallic gaskets combining the high pressure suitabilityand blow out resistance of metallic materials with the improved compressibility of soft materials. Metal jacketedgaskets offer an economical seal where sealing faces are narrow and can be produced in a variety of shapes,makingthem a good option for heat exchanger jointing.
General Properties
• Economical
• Easy to handle and install
• Suitable for high temperatures
• Suitable for narrow flanges
• Good blow-out resistance
Metal Jacketed and corrugated gaskets can be manufactured to suit a range of chemical environments by theselection of a suitable alloy jacket or core.
The following materials are available:
1. Double Jacketed
Constructed of soft filler encapsulated by a metal jacketand insert. Designed for use on high temperature andpressure applications
Properties
• Economical, basic with added strength from metallic jacket
• Metal jacket provides increased gasket stability and blow-outresistance
• Chemical resistance to a wide range of media can be accommodatedby selection of a suit- able metal
2. Single Jacketed
Constructed of soft filler completely enclosed in asingle jacket for use in applications where the widthdoes not permit the use of a double jacketed gasket.
