Metal V-Seals and other Metal Shapes
Why Suggested-
Parker Metal-Jacketed Gaskets are a practical answer to the problem of circular or non-circular sealing problems. This family of gaskets offers good compressibility and excellent compensation for flange irregularities and misalignment when high pressures up to 2500 psi (or higher, depending on joint design) must be contained. By selecting the proper style, almost any size or configuration can be produced.Where Recommended-
Parker Metal-Jacketed Gaskets are ideally suited for smooth surface applications such as heat exchangers, valve bonnets, gas mains, vacuum lines, cast iron flanges, autoclaves, boilers and glass-lined equipment. Recommended for use on circular and noncircular applications requiring minimum of 20 to 30 percent compressibility to compensate for flange misalignment, warping, etc.Parker Metal-Jacketed Gaskets are designed for use in assemblies where the elasticity of bolts or flange design can compensate for joint relaxation. For joints requiring close maintenance of the compressed thickness or joints which mechanically limit compression (such as metal-to-metal), use of Parker metal jacketed geometry is normally not recommended.
