Gaskets & Rings

product image

Gaskets and rings for steel piping are essential components used to create reliable and leak-proof seals between pipe flanges, valves, and other pipe fittings. 

  1. Purpose: Gaskets and rings serve as mechanical seals to prevent fluid or gas leakage from pipe joints. They fill the gap between mating surfaces, compensating for irregularities and ensuring a tight seal under compression.

  2. Materials: Gaskets and rings for steel piping are commonly made from various non-metallic materials such as rubber, silicone, cork, graphite, and PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene). Each material offers different properties such as chemical resistance, temperature tolerance, and compression set, allowing for selection based on specific application requirements.

  3. Types: There are several types of gaskets and rings available for steel piping, including:

    • Flat Gaskets: These are simple gaskets with a flat profile, commonly used in low-pressure applications where bolt loads are minimal.
    • Ring Gaskets: Ring gaskets, also known as RTJ (ring type joint) gaskets, are designed to fit into the grooves of raised face or RTJ flanges, providing a metal-to-metal seal under high pressure and temperature conditions.
    • Spiral Wound Gaskets: Spiral wound gaskets consist of alternating layers of metallic and filler materials wound together, offering resilience and versatility in sealing applications with varying pressure and temperature requirements.
    • O-rings: O-rings are circular elastomeric seals with a cross-section resembling the letter "O". They are commonly used in hydraulic and pneumatic systems to create a seal between two mating surfaces.

  4. Applications: Gaskets and rings for steel piping are used in a wide range of industries, including oil and gas, chemical processing, power generation, and water treatment. They are essential for sealing pipe flanges, valves, pumps, and other components in pipelines and process systems.

In summary, gaskets and rings are vital components for creating leak-proof seals in steel piping systems. With a variety of types and materials available, they offer flexibility and reliability in sealing applications across diverse industries, ensuring efficient and safe operation of pipelines and process systems.
