Flange Gaskets seal joints between flanges. The category includes flat, fibre, rubber, graphite, PTFE, metallic and semi-metallic gaskets, together with spiral-wound, kammprofile and ring-type joint gaskets.
What are Flange Gaskets?A flange gasket is placed between two flange faces to retain the medium within the joint. Construction ranges from sheet material to metallic or combined gaskets. Insulation kits and manhole gaskets also appear within the product area for flange and flat sealing products.
Applications and industriesFlange gaskets are named for machine building, chemical installations and power plants. The range supports joints requiring industrial gasket sheet, high-temperature sheet, flexible graphite sheet, fluoropolymer sheet or a metallic or semi-metallic construction.
How to select Flange GasketsFirst select the gasket construction: flat, fibre, elastomer, graphite, PTFE, spiral-wound, kammprofile, RTJ or another metallic or semi-metallic type. Then match material and form to the flange joint and application. Finally determine whether a standard gasket, sheet material or custom-cut gasket is required.
Key attributesKey attributes are gasket construction, sheet or metallic material, flange form, standard or custom shape and application in machine building, chemicals or power plants.
Frequently asked questions
When should a spiral-wound flange gasket be selected?Select a spiral-wound flange gasket where a semi-metallic construction is required. Compare this construction with kammprofile, RTJ, graphite and other flat gaskets, then match the final choice to the flange joint and application.
Which materials appear in flange gaskets?Flange gaskets are listed in fibre, rubber, graphite, PTFE and fluoropolymer, alongside metallic and semi-metallic types. The product area also includes high-temperature sheet, compressed non-asbestos sheet, insulation kits and UHMW sheet products.
