Gaskets

Metal Gaskets

Spiral Wound, Ring Joint, Kammprofile, Jacketed

We supply metallic and semi-metallic gaskets for high-pressure, high-temperature flange connections. From standard ASME sizes to custom-engineered profiles in exotic alloys, we cover spiral wound, ring joint, Kammprofile, and metal jacketed styles.

Spiral Wound Gaskets

Our most widely specified metal gasket. Alternating layers of metal strip and soft filler are wound into a precision gasket that recovers under bolt-load relaxation. We stock standard ASME B16.20 sizes and manufacture custom profiles to order. For ASME B16.20 colour coding, style selection, and full technical specifications, see our Spiral Wound Gasket Technical Guide.

Standard (Outer Guide Ring)

Centre winding with an outer guide ring. For raised-face flanges. Available in Class 150 through Class 2500.

With Inner Ring

Additional inner ring prevents inward buckling and turbulence erosion. Recommended for Class 600+ and vacuum service.

Custom Wound

Non-standard sizes, nickel superalloys (Inconel, Hastelloy, Monel), and custom filler materials to your specification.

Ring Joint Gaskets

Ring joint gaskets are solid-metal seals for high-integrity flanged connections — used where zero-leakage performance is non-negotiable, primarily upstream oil and gas, high-pressure steam, and subsea pipework. We machine to API 6A (wellhead equipment) and ASME B16.20 profiles for ring-type joint (RTJ) flanges. Available in oval, octagonal, and BX profiles in carbon steel, stainless, Inconel, and Monel.

Oval

Standard RTJ applications

Octagonal

Higher pressure, better recovery

BX

API 6BX wellhead and tree

Kammprofile & Jacketed Gaskets

Kammprofile

Serrated metal core with soft facing layers (graphite, PTFE, or Mica). Combines the recovery of a metallic gasket with the conformability of a soft seal. Suited to heat exchangers and high-bolt-load flanges.

Metal Jacketed

Soft filler enclosed in a metal jacket (single or double). Available in corrugated, flat, and profiled styles for heat exchangers, valve bonnets, and vessel flanges.
