SPIRAL WOUND GASKETS
Spiral wound gaskets have proven to be the most reliable sealing element for use in difficult, critical and arduous duties. Spiral wound gaskets are used in Refinery, Petrochemical, Chemical, Steam lines and Process Industries, where they have many advantages over older types of gaskets.
These gaskets are manufactured to International specifications such as BS, API, ASME, DIN. We also manufacture to customer’s specifications

Available in several standard shapes

FLANGE STANDARDS
ASME/ANSIB16.5 MSS SP44 (ASME B16.47 SERIES A) (AWWA)
BS 1560, BS10, BS4504 DIN FLANGES, JIS FLANGES
API 605 (ASME B16.47 SERIES B) FRENCH NF STANDARD

RING GASKETS
Ring Gaskets are designed to seal by “initial line contact” or wedging action between the mating flange and the gasket. By applying pressure on the seal interface through bolt force, the softer metal of the gasket flows into the imperfections of the harder flange material, creating a very tight and efficient seal.
Standard Ring Gaskets
Standard Style R Ring Gaskets are manufactured in accordance with both API 6A and ASME B16.20 size/ratings. Available in both oval and octagonal configurations, both types are interchangeable on the modern octagonal type grooved flanges.
R TYPE – OCTAGONAL
The Octagonal cross section has a higher sealing efficiency than the Oval cross section and is therefore preferred. These gaskets are manufactured as per API 6A / ASME B16.20 to suit API 6B and ASME B16.50 flanges.
R TYPE – OVAL
The oval section ring gaskets were originally designed for the now obsolete round bottom groove. Both the Oval and the Octagonal cross section are interchangeable on the flat bottom groove design. These gaskets are manufactured as per API 6A / ASME B16.20 to suit API 6B and ASME B16.50 flanges.
BX TYPE RTJ
BX Ring Gaskets are designed for pressures up to 20,000 psi, suitable only for use with API type BX flanges and grooves. The gasket has a square cross section with beveled corners. All BX sizes have a pressure passage hole to equalize pressure across sealing surface.
RX TYPE RTJ
The RX is a pressure energized version of “R” type flat bottom groove. RX Ring Gaskets are designed for pressures up to 5,000 psi, they are pressure activated ring gaskets designed to use the fluid pressure to increase sealability. These gaskets are manufactured as per API 6A / ASME B16.20 to suit API 6B and ASME B16.50 flanges.
SUBSEA GASKETS
IGP is able to provide safe, dimensionally and functionally interchangeable subsea wellhead, mudline and tree equipment within the scope of API. The performance requirement of pressure integrity, thermal integrity, material choice along with no observable leakage allowable are met with these sealing desires. To distinguish from topside Ring Type Joints the suffix “s” is used to indicate the additional pressure passage hold in the ring cross section. This is to indicate the additional requirement to prevent pressure lock when connections are made up underwater.
IX Seal Ring
IX Seal Ring IX Seal rings are designed to be used in Norsok Compact Flange connections (NCF). Available in different materials, IX rings are supplied with colour coded PTFE coating to denote base material supplied. Identification markings are on the inside of the ring in accordance to NORSOK L-005 standard.
LENS RINGS
IGP Lens Rings, manufactured in accordance with DIN 2696. Lens Rings have a spherical surface and are suitable for use with conical flange faces (other styles are available on request).
RUBBER COATED RING TYPE JOINTS
This is Ring Gasket totally enclosed in a nitrile rubber coating. The Ring Gasket material is usually soft iron or low carbon steel. This type of gasket has three main functions:

It is used in pressure testing to minimize damage to flanges.
The rubber contact points provide additional seals while protecting the flange surfaces.
It provides increased assurance against corrosion, which can occur between conventional Ring Gaskets and the engaged surfaces of the groove. A wide range of standard sizes are available, with special sizes available upon request & and are not involved by the API specification.
SPECIALIZED RING TYPE JOINTS
For critical and non-standard applications, IGP offers a range of specialized Ring Gaskets to suit the needs of the petrochemical industry.

TRANSITION RING GASKETS:
These are combination rings which consist of two different sizes having the same pitch circle diameter. They are used for sealing Ring Gasket flanges where the mating flanges have different ring groove diameters. Transition Ring Gaskets can be manufactured from standard materials, as well as high nickel alloys. Transition Ring Gaskets are available with either oval or octagonal facings and are not involved by the API specification.

SOLID METAL GASKETS
Solid metal gaskets are used in applications where temperatures and pressures rule out the use of traditional gasket materials. In general, gasket compression loads need to be high to deform the gasket, and the metal used for the gasket should be softer than the metal in the mating surfaces.

HEAT EXCHANGER GASKETS
Metal jacketed gaskets specially designed as Heat Exchanger Gaskets are widely used on smooth flange applications. They are ideal for Heat Exchangers, Auto claves, columns, flue stacks, boilers, gas mains, valve bonnets, pumps and similar services.

Kammprofile gaskets used as Heat Exchanger Gaskets consists of a metal core with concentric grooves on either side with sealing materials. The Sealing layers (depending on the service duty) can be Graphite, PTFE (Teflon), CAF or Metal (e.g. Aluminium or Silver). Kammprofiles can be used without sealing layers to provide an excellent seal but there is a risk of flange surface damage.

The Very wide seating stress range (minimum to maximum stress) of the Kammprofile gasket makes it

Highly suitable for varying temperature and pressures.
Less sensitive to assembly faults
Suitable for light and heavily constructed flanges.
Depending on layer material Kammprofile gaskets are resistant to temperature upto 1000° C
Resistant to media pressures upto 250 bar
When assembled the layer thickness of the sealing material is extremely small (0.5mm) thus reducing leaks, reject rates and environment pollution.
The gasket will not damage the flange surface and can be easily removed
Kammprofiles will not damage the flange faces even at extreme seating load.
Excellent performance when subject to fluctuating temperature and pressures.
Direct replacement for existing gaskets. No special flange finish is necessary.

FILLER
Common filler materials used are Asbestos mill board, CAF, Non asbestos, PTFE and Grafoil. We have adequate capacity to produce any shape and size with many compartmental ribs out of different materials for heat transfer equipment, coolers, condensers, joints etc.Heat Exchanger gaskets are more compressible than sole-metal corrugated types and offer better compensation for flange irregularities when high pressures are to be sealed.

KAMMPROFILE GASKETS
Kammprofile gaskets consist of a metal core (generally Stainless Steel) with concentric grooves on either side with sealing materials. The sealing layers (depending on the service duty) can be Graphite, PTFE (Teflon), CAF or Metal (e.g Aluminium or Silver). Kammprofile’s can be used without sealing layers to provide an excellent seal but there is a risk of flange surface damage.

The very wide seating stress range (minimum to maximum stress) of the Kammprofile gasket makes it

Highly suitable for varying temperatures and pressures.
Less senstive to assembly faults (inaccurate bolt tensioning).
Suitable for light and heavily constructed flanges.
Dependent on layer material Kammprofile gaskets are resistant to temperatures up to 1000 0C.
Resistant to media pressures up to 250 bar.
