Metal Jacket Gaskets are the most basic type of semi-metallic gaskets combining the high pressure suitability and blow out resistance of metallic materials with the improved compressibility of soft materials. Metal jacketed gaskets offer an economical seal where sealing faces are narrow and can be produced in a variety of shapes, making them a good option for heat exchanger jointing.
Metal Jacketed Gaskets can be manufactured to suit a range of chemical environments by the selection of a suitable jacketing metal.
