Properties and application

Metal-jacketed gaskets are particularly suitable for sealing flat surfaces of heat exchangers, gas pipes, cast iron flanges, and autoclaves and similar. By their sealing efficiency, provided by exerting strong pressure on circular rims of the flanges, metal-jacketed gaskets can stand up to 30 % of deviation from the initial thickness, which is very useful in case of irregular or faulty flange rims. The chemical compatibility of the metal and the medium being sealed should be considered.

Material

Double Jacketed Gasket (DJG) is made from graphite, ceramic, non-asbestos etc. filler covered with thin metal jacket, such as stainless steel, carbon steel, copper etc. By their sealing efficiently, provide outstanding resilience, while the metal jacket guarantees excellent sealing and protects the filler against pressure conditions, fluctuating temperatures and corrosion.
