A Metal Reinforced Gasket is a rigid laminated gasket
consisting of soft layers bonded to each face of a solid metal core by a
high temperature/chemical resistant synthetic bonding agent.
While the solid metal core prevents gasket blowout, it provides high
strength and rigidity: and the soft facings provide an exceptional seal.
The soft facing material flows easily into the flange faces allowing a
high integrity seal, even under low applied seating stresses.
The metal core material is selected to suit the application design
conditions and the media to be sealed. A wide range of core materials are
available, from the relatively low cost carbon steels, through the range
of stainless steels up to the "exotic" alloys. For chemical resistance and
temperature stability purposes, the correct core material must always be
selected.
Standard core material is 316 stainless steel, and standard core thickness
is 1/8".
The soft gasket facings can be Flexible Graphite, PTFE, Compressed fiber
gasket material. However, Flexible Graphite is the standard and most
widely used facing material supplied with the MRG gasket.
Suitable up to pressure Class 300, the Metal Reinforced Gaskets is widely
used in the chemical and petrochemical industries, where a high
temperature/corrosion resistant, high integrity joint is required.
