Metal jacketed gaskets

Metal jacketed gaskets are proven sealing elements for use

in apparatus construction, which are however increasingly
being replaced at temperatures up to 550 C by metal/softmaterial gaskets, such as grooved gaskets (see remarks
on the next page).

04

At temperatures above 500 C, such as in hot-blast areas,

metal jacketed gaskets can still hold their own against solid
metal gaskets such as weld ring gaskets.
Jacketed gaskets generally consist of a metal sheet coating
with an insert of RivaTherm Super, graphite or FA1) or some
layers of sheet metal.
The metal sheet coating should be as soft and flexible as
possible, but to prevent corrosion it is often made from a
stainless steel jacket in 1.4541 or 1.4571 steel.
The harder the jacket, the finer the flange roughness needs
to be.

Profile F8

picture 1

Metal jacketed gaskets for heat exchangers are supplied

with partitions in the model shown (picture 1).
Metal jacketed gaskets are also available as frames with
rounded corners.
In flanges with tongue and groove or male and female face
joints the jacketed gaskets should be fitted so that the tongue
and/or the male face is against the smooth side of the gasket (picture 2).

The inlay is selected according to the flange irregularities

that need to be covered. The better the quality and the evenness of the sealing surfaces, the harder the inlay can be.
There is a wide range of possible combinations; the following are extremes at both ends:
very soft:

Coating of aluminium,
inlay of graphite

very hard:

Coating of stainless steel,

inlay of mica

1) Fibre sheets with binder

Metal jacketed gaskets

Jacketed gaskets Profile F3, F4, F8, FW3 and F17 are for
flanges with raised face
Due to its dimensions, Profile F17 produces lower bolt loads
and more favourable deformation behaviour than Profiles
F3, F4, F8 and FW3.

04

Jacketed gaskets Profile F8 and F10 are mostly used in

apparatus construction.
Profile F3L is a cylinder head gasket.

Remarks
Particularly in apparatus and equipment engineering, there are
situations where extraordinary stability is required of the gasket.
This is the case for example when the shell pressure test is carried out in a floating-head heat exchanger while the pipe bundle is
drained. In addition to the pre-tensioning force on the (sometimes
notably large) floating head surface is added an additional pressure force from the test pressure of the shell. This will lead to
overload and subsequent destruction of the gasket if it does not
have the required stability.
Experience shows that the stability of metal jacketed gaskets is in
many cases insufficient to solve this problem. Due to their particular design, a stress condition can be created in the sheet metal
coating of metal jacketed gaskets with inlays from soft-materials
which destroys the gasket, particularly if the flange sealing surfaces have been coated with sealing compounds or grease to
make them easier to fit.
We recommend dry installation and the use of stable gaskets.
Particularly suitable are grooved gaskets with layers of graphite
or PTFE. These can also be supplied with the appropriate pass
partitions, so that the switch from metal jacketed gaskets can be
made without any problem.
