Metal Jacketed Gaskets
Metal Jacketed Gaskets are the most basic type of semi-metallic gaskets combing the high pressure
suitability and blow out resistance of metallic materials with the improved compressibility of soft materials. Metal jacketed gaskets offer an economical seal where sealing faces are narrow and can be produced in variety of shapes, making them a good option of heat exchanger jointing.
