A solid metal ring.

Specifications

The solid metal gasket provides an excellent mechanical joint and has gained universal acceptance
in the oil, petroleum and chemical processing industries where high mechanical and thermal
performance is required.

The type ‘R' oval configuration is the original ring joint design and was
followed by the type ‘R”octagonal which offered more specific contact sealing areas.

Both types can be used with flanges having the standard ring joint flat bottom groove and held of
flanges by the specified amount, relying entirely on correctly applied initial bolt load for the proper
operation in service. Gasket metal should be selected to suit the service condition and should be of
Hardness lower than the flange metal.  The annealing process of the metal is carefully controlled to
keep the hardness of the gasket below the maximum allowable hardness to ensure proper flow and
sealing without damaging the flange surfaces.

Comprised of a soft pliable filler core surrounded by a metal jacket which may totally or partially enclose the filler.

Description

These gaskets are designed and widely used for heat exchangers, pressure vessels, gas mains,
valve bonnets and similar services. This metal jacket provides the mechanical strength to contain
the filler and is selected from material which is suitable to resist chemical attack from the fluid
to be sealed and also the operating temperature.

Metal jacketed gaskets are available in a comprehensive selection of materials and are custom-built
to clients specific design requirements and are almost without any size limitations.

A durable protective coating is applied on every soft iron gasket to resist rusting in storage.

Flat Metal Gaskets.

Description

Metal gaskets can be manufactured from  any kind of metal as per the clients requirements.

Alternate plies of pre-formed metal and soft non-metallic fillers.

Description

The metal winding of the gasket is formed into a Chevron configuration allowing superior resiliency
and self adjustment when compared to conventional gaskets, Spiral wound gaskets are available
to order in almost any combination of component materials.

The most common configuration is stainless steel 304 inner ring, Stainless steel 304 graphite winding
with carbon steel outer ring.

CMG gaskets is a metal reinforced gasket which utilises a corrugated solid steel core, laminated with flexible graphite facing layers on both sides.

Description

Commonly used for heat exchangers and pressure vessels, Piping flanges, with pressure
ratings up to and including Class 300 / PN 40.
Pressure up to 40 Bar temperatures up to 450°C
Replacement for CAF

CMG’s has the following advantages:
Good blow-out resistance
Can be fitted to inner and/or outer cleats
The soft facing layer prevents damage to the flange
Economically suitable for high temperatures
Easy to handle and install

MRG gaskets is a metal reinforced gasket which utilises a corrugated solid steel core, laminated with flexible graphite facing layers on both sides..

Description

Standard core materials are carbon or austenitic stainless steel. Exotic alloys can be used to suit

Particular applications.

The graphite sealing layers can also be substituted with other soft facing materials such as
PTFE, Mica or compressed non-asbestos fibre gasket materials.

MRG gaskets can be produced in any shape and are ideal for rectangular gaskets, or heat exchanger
gaskets with complex pass partition bar configuration. The low  load requirements on the MRG
gasket make them ideal replacements for compressed asbestos fibre gaskets and metal jacketed
gaskets in heat exchanger applications.

Camprofiles are a composite gasket, which utilises a serrated metal core with a soft facing material. .

Description

Camprofiles have a wide range of seating stresses under which the seal is effected and
maintained. It can be used when there is insufficient bolt load to seal conventional gasket materials.

Easy to handle and fit. Suitable for a wide range of operating conditions.
The soft facing layer prevents damage to the flanges, provides a high integrity seal including
thermo cycling and shock loading conditions. Can be refurbished with a new facing layer and
reused. Camprofiles can be manufactured in a very wide variety of sizes and shapes according
to customer design requirements.

Aluminium shims are a corrosion resistant option and ideal for a variety of industries and applications. .

Description

Aluminium is remarkable for its ability to resist corrosion due to the phenomenon of passivation
and for the metal’s low density.

While in general, aluminium has a very good corrosion resistance in most environments, different
alloys of aluminium results in different levels of corrosion resistance and strength.

Using aluminium for your shims offers incredible corrosion resistance as well as light weight solutions.
Structural components made from aluminium and its alloys are vital to the aerospace industry and
very important in other areas of transportation and building.

Copper is a highly ductile and malleable metal that is suitable for an array of applications.

Description

Copper is one of the most widely used metals for commercial purposes.

In its pure state sheet  copper is easily bent by hand or hammered which is why it is often
used for gaskets.

Excellent for riveting, soldering and stamping and will not react with water or corrode easily.
The main features which give copper sheets its signature qualities can be categorised by the
alloy used, the hardness of the copper (temper), finish and gauge.
