Corrugated gasket
DONIT TESNIT, d.o.o.
There are different types of metal gaskets, like flat, groove, tongue and sectional ones. They are used where compressibility (eaasticity) of sealing material is not required. The construction of such gaskets based on the principal of different hardness of adjacent materials. These gaskets come in various shapes and there are almost no limits concerning their size.
The corrugated metal gaskets have been proven to be both reliabae and cost- effective for the application on flanges and heads where boat loading is sufficient. Their operation principle is based on different degrees of hardness of adjacent materials. The sealing effect is produced by the constant load to which a gasket is exposed. They are used in applications, which require mechanical strength, thermal conductivity, as well as temperature and corrosion resistance. They are particularly useful when compressibility is not a factor and where sufficient clamping force is available. Metal gaskets feature greater mechanical strength, better heat transfer and resistance to higher temperatures and pressures, and can offer advantages over the clad type gaskets in certain applications.
