GASKET APPLICATIONS
Valve & Pipe Flange Gaskets

The correct valve and pipe flange gaskets are essential in ensuring the integrity of a wide range of industrial processes, providing a long-lasting seal between pipe flanges and valve inlets to prevent leaks and ensure the safe and efficient flow of fluids.

We offer a wide range of valve and pipe flange gaskets to suit specific industrial applications. Gaskets are precision manufactured for each application, and our technical team can provide insights into the best choice of gasket materials to suit the process.

Gasket Products Gasket Materials

Spiral-wound gaskets

Spiral-wound gaskets

Spiral Wound Gaskets are made by winding metal and filler materials together to form a spiral pattern. These gaskets are suitable for high-temperature and high-pressure applications.

 

Spiral-woundGaskets

Ring Joint Gaskets

Ring Joint Gaskets

Ring Joint Gaskets are designed for use in high-pressure applications and are typically used in the oil and gas industry. These gaskets are made from a range of materials, including soft iron, low-carbon steel, and stainless steel.

 

Metal Gaskets

Non Asbestos Gaskets

Non Asbestos Gaskets

Non-Asbestos Gaskets are made from a variety of materials that offer similar properties to traditional asbestos gaskets, such as aramid fibres, carbon fibres, and graphite. These gaskets are suitable for a wide range of applications.

 

Non Asbestos Gaskets

Rubber gaskets

Rubber gaskets

Rubber Gaskets are manufactured from pure or composite materials such as Nitrile, EPDM, and Silicone. These gaskets are generally suitable for a range of low-pressure applications across food, steam and chemical processes.

 

Rubber Gaskets

Graphite Gaskets

Graphite Gaskets

Graphite gaskets offer high corrosion, pressure and temperature resistance. Graphite is a soft yet incredibly strong material and its low friction composition creates an effective seal that reduces energy losses and the build-up of heat.

 

Graphite Gaskets

Camprofile Gaskets

Camprofile Gaskets

Camprofile Gaskets are composed of a grooved metal core and a graphite or composite sealing layer which allows them to maintain their integrity even when subjected to high pressure and temperature fluctuations.

Valve & Pipe Flange Gasket Standards

We are committed to providing high-quality gaskets that meet industry standards, and our manufacturing processes and quality management systems are ISO 9001:2015 certified.

Gaskets can be manufactured to comply with the following international standards:

  • ASME - Our gaskets meet the requirements of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), ensuring that they are safe and reliable for use in a range of applications
  • API - Our gaskets meet the requirements of the American Petroleum Institute (API), ensuring that they are suitable for use in the oil and gas industry.
  • BS EN 12560-1:2001 - Flanges and their joints. Gaskets for Class-designated flanges. Non-metallic flat gaskets with or without inserts
  • BS EN 12560-2:2013 - Flanges and their joints. Dimensions of gaskets for Class-designated flanges. Spiral wound gaskets for use with steel flanges
  • BS EN 12560-3:2001 - Flanges and their joints. Gaskets for Class-designated flanges. Non-metallic PTFE envelope gaskets
  • BS EN 14772:2005 - Flanges and their joints. Quality assurance inspection and testing of gaskets in accordance with the series of standards EN 1514 and EN 12560

We also regularly test our gaskets to ensure they meet the relevant pressure, temperature, and chemical compatibility standards. Our commitment to quality means that you can trust us for all your valve and pipe flange gasket requirements.

The Manufacturing Proccess Of A Graphite Gasket

Valve & Pipe Flange Gasket Manufacture

Gaskets are precision manufactured with attention to detail along every step of the process, from the initial templating process through to finishing. We can reverse engineer non-standard gaskets from the original gasket or drawings, and prototype new gaskets using sophisticated scanning and CAD applications. Our integrated cutting machines, including CNC, water jet and laser cutters, ensure the accuracy and quality of the final product.

All gaskets undergo multiple inspections during manufacture and are supplied to recognised national and international standards. We design and manufacture a large variety of non-standard gasket sizes and thicknesses based on customer specifications.
