Types of gaskets
Grooved gaskets have proven extremely useful in all areas
of industry, including the most demanding sealing tasks.
Our grooved gaskets can be found in conventional power
plants as well as in the primary circuit of nuclear power plants.
In nuclear power plants, they are used e.g. as a heat exchanger gasket, as a valve cap gasket or as a manhole
cover gasket on steam generators or pressurisers.
Grooved gaskets have also been used to great success in
the chemical and petrochemical industries. Particularly in
places where there are high pressures and temperatures,
and therefore high bolt loads, to contend with. In order to
avoid damage to the flanges by the metal core, grooved gaskets are generally used with layers of PTFE, graphite, aluminium or silver. This gives total protection to the flanges, as
the profile geometry has been specifically adjusted to suit
the thickness of the layer.
We have developed a range of profiles to suit the various
properties of the layer materials.
The principal purpose of the soft layers is not however to
protect the flanges, but to provide a secure seal even at low
minimum surface pressures. A triaxial stress is created in
the profiling of the metallic carrier which has been filled with
the layer material. The load capacity is limited by the breaking point of the gasket and/or flange material. The stability of
this combination is therefore significantly higher than with a
pure PTFE, graphite, aluminium or silver seal.
Grooved gaskets be produced in sizes ranging from a few
millimetres to a diameter of 4,500 mm on our lathes. The
possibility of producing gaskets with greater diameters or
one-off production from drawings, such as oval gaskets,
can be examined in individual cases. For gaskets in heat
exchangers with partitions, it is necessary to insert partitions
with grooves of the same profile.

Grooved gaskets are available that conform to works standards WN 100, WN 101, WN 136, WN145 (DINEN 1514-6),
WN 146 and WN 147. Works standards 100 and 101 only
contain a sealing width for all nominal pressure levels.
The sealing width bG = (d2 - d1)/2 should always increase as
the nominal pressure level increases. Due to the extremely
large difference between and V, in grooved gaskets, as
expressed in the application security SB = /V , works
standards 100 and 101 can be simplified.

Profiles
The B7A profile is for use with flange connections with tongue
and groove and male and female faces. The Profile B9A with
integrated centring ring should be selected for use with
smooth flanges and flanges with raised face. With gaseous
media, or where there are large differences in temperature
between internal and external diameters, the Profile B15A
with loose sheet metal centring ring should be used. The
grooved insert ring conforming to E7A is for groove-on-groove
flange connections.

Surface pressures
The minimum surface pressure v is determined by the layer
material used with the convex grooved gasket.
The highest permissible surface pressure at a temperature
of is and this determines the allowable gasket load
reaction. The maximum allowable surface pressure is
determined by the material used in the metal core.

Groove gaskets with PTFE layers are only suitable for use at 280C to a limited extent.
Gaskets that are electrically isolated from the usual pipelines by two PTFE layers can
become electro-statically charged. Appropriate measures must be taken to discharge
any electrical charge that may arise depending on the medium.
