KLINGER® metal jacketed gaskets

KLINGER® metal jacketed gaskets are semi-metal gaskets with a body made of soft ceramic fiber or graphite and a jacket / shell material suitable for the application. The gasket can stand and requires high surface pressure to operate. The soft body material forces the metal to conform to the surface of the flange and seal it. Metal jacketed gaskets are a cost-effective alternative for applications where the sealing surface is narrow. Gaskets are available in a variety of materials and sizes.

Metal jacketed gaskets are not very reliable and therefore they have been replaced by e.g. in heat exchanger applications with KLINGER® top-chem 2000 material or at temperatures above 250° C with a kammprofile gasket (KLINGER® Maxiprofile). Heat exchanger sealing solutions, as well as other narrow sealing surface solutions, always require technical examination and / or tightness calculations.

Typical uses:

KLINGER’s metal jacketed gaskets are commonly used in heat exchanger applications.
