Tanged Insert Gaskets

Tanged Insert Gaskets (Metal Reinforced Gasket) is a laminated gasket consisting of a tanged metal core, coveredwith soft conformable sealing materials on each face of the core. While the solid metal core prevents gasket blowout, it provides strength and rigidity when compare to soft cut Gaskets and the soft facings provide for an exceptional seal.

The metal core material is selected to suit the media to be sealed. A wide range of core material is available. For chemical resistance and temperature stability purposes, the correct core material must always be selected.

Standard core material is either 304L or 316L stainless steel, and standard core thickness is 0.20 mm. The soft gasket facings be Graphite which is the standard and most widely used facing material supplied with the MRG gasket.

Suitable up to pressure Class 300, the MRG is widely used in the chemical and petrochemical industries, where a high temperature, corrosion resistant, high integrity joint is required. Although the MRG gasket can be utilized on standard flange applications in place of conventional compressed fibre sheet gaskets, or in some instances spiral wound gaskets, it is on special type assemblies where the MRG is mainly utilized. Due to laser manufacturing techniques, any type of gasket shape can be produced. Where restricted or limited space precludes the use of spiral wound gaskets or limited bolt load is available to seat the gasket, the MRG’s narrow cross sectional width makes it ideal for use in floating head arrangements of heat exchangers.
