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.
Style KG1
Style KG1C
Style KG1C
Metal clad gaskets.
Double Jacketed Style KG1
Used on high temperature applications e.g. heat exchangers. The filler is totally enclosed in a two-piece metal jacket.
Available to customer specification with unlimited bar configurations or to ASME B16.20 (API6O1) for standard ASME/ANSI flanges.
Style KG1C
Style KG1C
Style KG1C
Metal clad gaskets.
Double Jacketed Style KG1C
Similar to Style KYG1, except that the metal jacket is corrugated. This gives a reduced contact area and enhances its compressive characteristics. More resilient than Style KYG1. Suitable for uneven flanges.
Style KG2
Style KG1C
Style KG2
Metal clad gaskets.
Single Jacketed Style KG2: Gasket comprises of a filler material which is totally enclosed in a one-piece metal jacket.
Used on narrow flanges where Style KG1 is unsuitable.
Style KG3
Style KG1C
Style KG2
Metal clad gaskets.
Single Jacketed Style KG3
Metal jacket only covers one contact face and inside and outside diameters of the gasket. This is an old design which is rarely used.
Not recommended on standard pipe flanges.
