Metal Seals
Seals
Metal seals can refer to many distinct types of gaskets and seals. While specific characteristics, form factors, and use cases vary widely, all are designed to meet the rigorous pressure and temperature demands and create a reliable seal under high flange load and bolt load conditions.
Many industries rely on metal sealing solutions like spiral wound gaskets, kammprofiles, and ring-type joint (RTJ) gaskets. Regardless of what your goals are, finding the right one for your needs starts with understanding what each offers and what benefits you can expect.
Our Trusted Suppliers
Sealing Devices is proud to offer a wide range of metal seals and gaskets from leading suppliers like Freudenberg, Parker, and Flexitallic.
Design Specifics
All metal seals create a secure and reliable seal by applying the necessary flange load and bolt load to compress the seal and form an airtight and leak-proof barrier. They also come in many forms with unique benefits and applications, including:
- Spiral Wound Gaskets - combine layers of metal and a softer filling material to provide long-lasting performance in extreme environments.
- Kammprofile Gaskets - have a grooved metal core with a softer, often graphite, filler material to perform exceptionally well at high temperatures and pressures.
- Metal-Jacketed Gaskets - encase a soft filler material in a metal outer layer, making them popular in heat exchangers and other applications requiring rigid construction.
- Metal Mesh Gaskets and Springfingers - protect sensitive components from electromagnetic interference (EMI) and electromagnetic pulses (EMPs).
How Metal Seals Work
The strength of metal seals lies in their ability to conform under pressure, creating a durable seal that can withstand extreme environments. Customizable surface coatings and alloy materials mean these seals can provide tailored solutions for the most demanding applications.
