Description

The machined styles, with reduced surface may be the only answer to high pressure,high-temperaturesituations or corrosive applications in flanges where available bolting forces are too light to accommodate the gasket.
Flat Metal Gaskets are recommended for use in valve bonnets, ammonia fittings, heat exchangers, hydraulic presses and tongue and groove flange joints.

Flat Metal Gaskets are relatively inexpensive to produce and deliver good sealing performance in a variety of applications over a wide temperature range. The machined styles, with reduced surface may be the only answer to highpressure, high-temperature situations or corrosive applications in flanges where available bolting forces are too light to accommodate the flat metal gasket.
