Industrial Metal Gaskets
Metal gaskets are designed to provide reliable sealing performance in demanding high-pressure and high-temperature applications where traditional soft gasket materials may not be suitable. M&P Sealing supplies and manufactures a variety of industrial metal gaskets used throughout the petrochemical, refining, chemical processing, power generation, and industrial manufacturing industries.
From standard flange sealing solutions to custom-engineered designs, our team can help identify the right metal gasket for your operating conditions, temperature requirements, media compatibility, and pressure ratings.
Metal Gaskets for Critical Sealing Applications
Industrial operations depend on effective sealing solutions to maintain safety, reduce emissions, prevent leaks, and improve equipment reliability. Metal gaskets are commonly used in applications involving elevated temperatures, aggressive chemicals, extreme pressures, and critical process systems.
M&P Sealing provides metal gasket solutions designed to withstand challenging operating environments while helping facilities maintain operational efficiency and regulatory compliance.
Why Choose Metal Gaskets?
Metal gaskets are engineered for sealing applications where conventional soft gasket materials cannot withstand the operating environment. Designed for high temperatures, elevated pressures, aggressive chemicals, and repeated thermal cycling, metal gaskets provide exceptional sealing performance in some of the world’s most demanding industrial processes.
At M&P Sealing, we manufacture a wide variety of industrial metal gaskets for refineries, chemical processing plants, power generation facilities, oil and gas operations, and OEM equipment manufacturers. Whether you require a standard flange gasket or a custom-engineered sealing solution, our team can recommend the right gasket based on your operating conditions.
Types of Metal Gaskets
Spiral Wound Gaskets
Spiral wound gaskets combine metal windings with soft filler materials to create a resilient sealing solution capable of handling temperature fluctuations, pressure cycling, and demanding process conditions. They are commonly used in refinery, petrochemical, and power generation applications.
Ring Type Joint (RTJ) Gaskets
RTJ gaskets are precision-machined metallic sealing rings designed for high-pressure flange connections. These gaskets are widely used in oil and gas production, pipelines, drilling operations, and pressure vessel applications.
Corrugated Metal Gaskets
Corrugated metal gaskets utilize a corrugated metal core combined with sealing facings to provide strength, recovery, and sealing performance. These gaskets are often selected for heat exchangers, piping systems, and industrial process equipment.
Kammprofile Gaskets
Kammprofile gaskets feature a grooved metal core with soft sealing layers bonded to each side. They offer excellent blowout resistance, sealing reliability, and long-term performance in critical service applications.
Fast Turnaround Gaskets & Emergency Production
When downtime isn’t an option, you need a sealing partner that can move quickly. M&P Sealing provides fast turnaround gasket manufacturing for urgent and time-sensitive applications across refineries, chemical plants, and industrial facilities. We work closely with engineers, maintenance teams, and procurement professionals to deliver custom gasket solutions designed for performance, reliability, and long-term durability.

Advantages of Concentric Metal Core
- Minimizes Extrusions (no inward buckling as with Spiral Wounds)
- Pushes graphite into the leak paths
- Reduces gasket damage in handling and installation (no need of inner guide ring added cost)
- Extra strength, particularly in narrow cross section
- Increases springiness to handle thermal cycling
- Greatly increase sealability under low bolt loads
- Different metals available to match flange metallurgy, temperature or chemical resistance. (Inconel 600, Incoloy 300, Hastelloy C276, Monel 400, Inconel 625, Nickel just to name a few)
What Is a Spiral Wound Gasket?
Spiral wound gaskets are specifically designed to handle the kind of operating conditions that cause traditional gasket materials to fail. Their combination of metal windings and flexible filler allows them to adapt in real time to changes in pressure, temperature, and mechanical load—maintaining a tight, reliable seal even in unstable environments.
Spiral wound gaskets maintain consistent sealing performance even as system conditions change—making them a go-to solution for high-demand industrial environments where durability and reliability are essential.
Key Features & Benefits
- Designed for extreme pressure and temperature cycling
- Excellent resilience and recovery, maintaining seal integrity over time
- Suitable for wide chemical compatibility depending on filler selection
- Resistant to blowout under high-pressure conditions
- Available with inner and outer rings for added stability and safety
