Corrugated metallic gaskets
Corrugated metallic gaskets
are produced of a corrugated carrier of steel and can be coated completely or partly according to the area of application with a layer on both sides.
The production of corrugated metallic gaskets is possible in many forms of circular rings, ovals as well as long ovals or frames.
There are lot of variants of corrugated gaskets. They may differ in form, so that both round as well as oval rings and elongated rings with bridges or various straps also exist. On the other hand, there are corrugated gaskets with and without support. 
The enormous variation of this form of gasket means that it can be put to use in many different areas. Corrugated gaskets (including torque support) are in particular deployed wherever flexurally weak flanges are used.
We predominantly offer three basic variants in our assortment (a. Gaskets with sheet-like soft material support, b. With string supports or c. all-metal without support) that can where expedient also be supplied by us in different variations
Metallic corrugated gaskets
Metallic corrugated gaskets The Corrugated gaskets consist of a stainless steel wave stainless steel plate with a graphite foil seal seat on both sides. The graphite layers and metallic core profile are adjusted in such a way that a wave crest overlap of 0.1 to 0.2 mm is guaranteed in the restraint condition. This achieves a very low diffusion cross-section. In addition, there is also a high density of the graphite in these areas. Very high tightness (σVU 0,01 = 22 MPa) of ..
What are the primary applications of corrugated metallic gaskets?
Corrugated metallic gaskets are widely used in various industries, including oil and gas, chemical processing, and power generation. Their design allows them to withstand high temperatures and pressures, making them ideal for sealing flanged connections in environments that require durability and reliability. These gaskets can be customized for specific applications, ensuring optimal performance and longevity.
How do corrugated metallic gaskets compare to other types of gaskets in terms of sealing performance?
Compared to other gasket types, such as non-metallic gaskets or composite gaskets, corrugated metallic gaskets offer superior sealing performance in high-pressure and high-temperature scenarios. Their corrugated design enhances the contact surface area, providing a more effective seal. Additionally, the use of metals allows them to resist wear and deformation, contributing to a longer service life.
Can corrugated metallic gaskets be used in corrosive environments?
Yes, corrugated metallic gaskets can be effectively used in corrosive environments, especially when coated with protective materials. The choice of metal and coating can be tailored to withstand specific chemical exposures, ensuring that the gasket maintains its integrity and sealing capabilities.
