What are oil, gas and petrochemical gaskets used for?

Oil gaskets, gas gaskets and petrochemical gaskets are designed to create secure, leak-free seals in systems that handle hydrocarbons, chemicals and pressurised fluids. They are critical in refineries, offshore platforms, pipelines and fuel-handling equipment, where safety, performance and reliability are essential 24/7.

Which standards do your oil, gas and petrochemical gaskets meet?

Our products are manufactured in line with international quality and safety standards, including ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 23936-2 for rapid gas decompression (RGD). Many of our compounds are suitable for achieving NORSOK approval, ensuring reliability and compliance in critical oil, gas and petrochemical applications.

Can you supply spiral wound and metallic gaskets for oil and gas systems?

Absolutely. PTM stocks a comprehensive range of spiral wound, metallic and semi-metallic gaskets, all designed to operate under extreme temperature and pressure conditions. These gaskets are widely used in refineries, compressors, valves, pumps and pipeline flanges across the oil, gas and petrochemical industries.

How can your team help me choose the right gasket for my application?

Our experienced engineers understand the complex demands of the oil, gas and petrochemical sectors. We can advise on material compatibility, temperature and pressure ratings, as well as chemical resistance, ensuring you select the ideal gasket for safe operation.

Why should I choose high-performance gaskets for oil and gas applications?

The oil and gas sectors operate under extreme pressure, temperature and chemical exposure. Using high-performance gaskets helps prevent leaks, reduce maintenance costs and ensure long-term sealing integrity. PTM’s gaskets are engineered to perform in these kinds of environments, offering excellent resistance to fuels, solvents and corrosive substances.

Do you supply specialist materials for aggressive fuels and chemicals?

Yes. Working closely with our compounders, we offer advanced elastomers such as FKM, FEPM (Aflas), HNBR and FFKM, available in both bisphenol and peroxide-cured forms. These compounds have been specifically developed to withstand biodiesel, ethanol blends and other aggressive chemical environments found in modern fuel systems.

Do you offer rapid delivery for oil, gas and petrochemical gaskets?

Yes. With over 100,000 regularly used components in stock, from RTJs and spiral wound gaskets to O-rings and bonded seals, we can provide immediate dispatch for urgent requirements. Our responsive service ensures that downtime is kept to an absolute minimum when equipment.

WHY US?

In the oil, gas and petrochemical industries, quality, reliability and rapid response are absolutely critical in an environment that operates 24/7. Our extensive product range and large stock holdings for the sector ensure you receive the correct oil gasket, gas gasket, or petrochemical gasket precisely when and where it is needed. Alongside routine maintenance schedules, in the event of an unexpected breakdown, it is reassuring to know that a trusted supplier with over 45 years’ experience in delivering high-quality products is on hand to get your operations back up and running swiftly.

We maintain over 100,000 regularly used parts in stock, including RTJs, Spiral Wound Gaskets and O-rings, all supported by a reliable supplier network. Whether you need an urgent oil gasket, gas gasket, or petrochemical gasket, we can provide immediate solutions to minimise downtime and keep your production moving.

The increased usage of aggressive biodiesel and alcohol components in motor fuels presents new challenges for companies involved in production, blending, transport and dispensing. Compared with conventional fuel components, biodiesel has inherently unstable chemistry, which is prone to degradation and exacerbated by contamination during the distribution process. This aggressive, contaminated fuel can attack hydrocarbon rubbers, such as nitrile rubbers, commonly used in hoses, seals and gaskets for oil, gas and petrochemical applications. Our expertise in supplying high-performance gaskets designed specifically to withstand these demanding conditions ensures long-term durability and safety across your operations.

Working closely with our compounders, we offer a broad range of high-grade elastomers alongside newly developed ED compounds. This includes bisphenol and peroxide-cured FKM’s, FEPM (Aflas), HNBR and FFKM, all engineered to provide exceptional physical properties and processing performance. These compounds have also been tested to ISO 23936-2 for rapid gas decompression (RGD), making them suitable candidates for NORSOK approvals and other stringent industry standards.
