Metal Jacketed Gaskets manufactured by Wealson, as the name suggests, are comprised of a metallic outer shell with either a metallic or non-metallic asbestos free filler. The filler material gives the gasket resilience, while the metal jacket protects the filler and resists pressures, temperatures and corrosion.
Metal Jacketed Gaskets are manufactured using hand made techniques, and are available in a wide range of sizes and configurations.
They are traditionally used for heat exchanger applications, pumps and valves, however the resilience and recovery properties of these gaskets are limited. Metal Jacketed Gaskets require smooth flange surface finishes, high bolt loads and flange flatness in order to seal effectively.
A wide range of materials are available to suit specific temperature and corrosive conditions.
Metallic: Aluminum, Brass, Copper, Soft Iron, Stainless Steel, Monel, Nickel, Inconel
Non-Metallic: Flexible Graphite,Asbestos, Non-asbestos, PTFE,Ceramic
