Product Description
A Serrated Metal Gasket typically contains the following components:
1. Base Metal Material (Core):
Made of solid metal with a serrated (grooved) surface to improve sealing performance. Common metals include:
- Stainless Steel (SS304, SS316, SS321, etc.) Corrosion-resistant and durable.
- Carbon Steel Cost-effective but requires coating for corrosion resistance.
- Aluminum, Copper, or Soft Iron For specific applications requiring softer sealing materials.
- Inconel, Monel, Titanium, or Other Alloys Used in extreme temperature and pressure conditions.
2. Soft Filler or Coating (Optional):
- Graphite High-temperature resistance, commonly used in steam and chemical applications.
- PTFE (Teflon) Chemical-resistant, suitable for aggressive media.
- Non-Asbestos Material Provides flexibility and adaptability.
Key Features:
- The serrated surface enhances sealing by creating multiple contact points, reducing the risk of leaks.
- Used in heat exchangers, high-pressure flanges, and industrial applications where standard gaskets may fail.
