Metal Jacketed Gaskets Metal Jacketed Gaskets, asthe name suggests, consist of a metallic outer shell with either a metallic or non-metallic compressed fiber filler. The filler material gives the gasket resilience, while the metal jacket protects the filler and resists pressures, temperatures and ‘A wide range of materials are available to suit specific temperature and corrosive conditions.

Flexicarb* Inconel” Copper Ceramic Monel* (Other materials on request) Metal Jacketed Gaskets are available in a wide range of sizes and configurations. They are traditionally used for heat exchanger appli- cations, pumps, and valves, however the resilience and recovery properties of these gaskets are limited.
