Grooved Metallic Gaskets


Properties and application


The DONIT TESNIT® grooved gasket is the preferred gasket when improved performance at low seating stresses is required. It features excellent anti-blowout properties linked with the reliability of a solid metal-to-metal seal combined with a soft sealing face to provide a tighter joint. Metal gaskets with grooved faces have proven to be very effective for sealing flange connections, and are particularly suitable for applications where high temperatures, pressures and fluctuating conditions are encountered. Non-metal cover layers ensure that flanges are not damaged, even at extreme loads, and provide excellent sealing properties when supported by the grooved metallic gasket. The DONIT TESNIT® grooved gasket is an ideal replacement for problem applications associated with jacketed gaskets, for heat exchangers, vessels and reactors and various flanged connections.
