Metal Jacketed Gaskets

Description

Metal Jacketed Gaskets consist of a soft filler material encased in a metallic shell. The filler material deforms under load and gives the gasket resilience while the metal jacket provides compressive strength and protection against the service conditons.

Application

Metal Jacketed Gaskets are available in a wide range of configurations, materials and sizes making them an economic choice for heat exchangers, pressure vessels and other equipment applications. Due to their limited strength and recovery characteristics, they have largely been replaced by Kammprofiles in arduous applications.
