Metal Gaskets, Metallic & Semi-Metallic

Metal gaskets and semi-metallic gaskets are engineered to perform reliably under extreme conditions involving high temperatures, elevated pressures, and aggressive chemical environments. These durable sealing solutions are available in both standard and custom configurations, designed to suit a broad spectrum of process applications across various industries.

A semi-metallic gasket combines the structural integrity of metal with the sealing flexibility of non-metallic materials. This composite construction allows semi-metallic gaskets to provide excellent recovery and load-bearing capabilities, making them suitable for both low and high-pressure or temperature systems. They are particularly effective where flange load or surface finish might vary.

At PTM, we supply and manufacture a comprehensive range of metal gaskets, joints, and rings using materials such as stainless steel, copper, mild steel, brass, Monel, soft iron, titanium, carbon steel, nickel, Hastelloy, Inconel, and Incoloy. These materials are selected based on performance requirements such as corrosion resistance, thermal stability, and mechanical strength.

In addition to metal gaskets, we also produce precision machined metal components and metallic shims tailored to your specific needs. Whether you need a one-off part or a bulk order, our facilities are equipped to deliver high-quality results. Common applications include pump shim sets, gearbox packings, and custom-engineered solutions.

Our stock also includes a wide variety of metal gaskets such as Taylor rings, metallic washers, and RTJ (Ring Type Joint) gaskets, which are widely used in high-pressure pipelines and critical sealing points. These products are manufactured to tight tolerances, ensuring dependable sealing performance even under the harshest conditions.

Our years’ of experience in the sealing industry coupled with the lastest manufacturing equipment mean we can supply your bespoke or off the shelf metallic seals quickly and competitively.

Below we highlight the main styles of metal and semi-metallic gaskets that we manufature and supply.

Spiral Wound Gaskets

"

Spiral wound gaskets are widely used in many industries to seal a vast array of media across a wide range of temperatures and pressures. The key to the gaskets versatility is the inherently resilient sealing element.

Machined Rings/Washers

"

From a simple laser cut copper or stainless steel washer to a more complex CNC machined ring, we offer a wide range of solutions in materials ranging from mild steel to high temperature Inconel and Hastelloy. Please contact us with your requirement.

Metal Shim Sets

"

We manufacture metal shims in a wide range of materials and thicknesses, with parts offered as thin as 0.05mm (0.002 ”). If you require individual shims or as a shim set comprising of different thicknesses, we can supply. Shims can be manufactured to your drawing or specified dimensions.

Dowty/Bonded Seals

"

Our Bonded Seals (or Dowty Seals) consist of a rubber sealing element that is bonded to the inner wall of a metal washer. They are commonly used in applications where high pressures demand greater sealing capacity than can be obtained with Copper or other metallic washers.

Metal Jacketed/Clad Gaskets

"

The most basic type of semi-metallic gasket has a compressible insert enclosed within a metallic jacket. The insert material forces the metal to deform to suit the flange surface and effect a seal.

Corrugated Metal Gaskets

"

There are a wide variety of corrugated metal gaskets which are used as a versatile seal when bolt loads are low. The are comprised of concentric grooves on both sides and can be coated with other materials to make a seal on distorted or uneven faces. We stock a range of gaskets from leading worldwide manufacturers.

Metal Eyelet Gaskets

"

Eyelet gaskets offer protection against blowout. In addition to our range of PTFE envelope gaskets, we offer a range of metal eyelet and envelope gaskets in materials such as stainless steel, soft iron, copper, brass, Monel and titanium. Please contact us with your requirement.

Camprofile/Kammprofile Gaskets

"

Camprofile/Kammprofile gaskets are used in many older seals since they have both a flexible nature and reliable performance. Camprofiles work by having a solid corrugated core with a flexible covering layer. We stock a wide range of Garlock and Flexitallic Kammprofile gaskets.
