Steel-reinforced rubber · Large flanges · Mumbai, IndiaRubber Gaskets with Metallic Inserts
A metal core moulded inside rubber. You get the easy, low-bolt-load seal of rubber with the stiffness and blow-out resistance of steel, ideal for large, light and plastic flanges.
Rubber where it seals. Steel where it counts.
The metal insert carries the bolt load and stops the gasket stretching, creeping or blowing out. Rubber beads on each face do the sealing at a fraction of the load a flat gasket needs.
3D renderRubber body & beads
EPDM, Nitrile, Neoprene or Viton moulded over the insert, with raised beads that seal at low bolt load.
Metal insert
Carbon steel, galvanised or stainless steel core that gives stiffness and blow-out resistance.
Made for the flanges rubber alone cannot hold.
Both styles are made to your flange drawing, from small pipe sizes to large water and duct flanges.
Full face
Covers the whole flange with bolt holes. Best for FRP, PVC, cast iron and lined flanges.
Flat face flangesRing
Fits inside the bolt circle of raised face flanges, with the insert set into the sealing ring.
Raised face flangesSpecial
Oval, rectangular and segmented gaskets for manholes, ducts and equipment covers.

Large, light and plastic flanges.
Where a plain rubber gasket would squeeze out or blow out.
Large water flanges
Big, lightly bolted water and cooling water flanges where plain rubber would extrude.
FRP & plastic pipe
Seal at low bolt load so FRP, PVC and lined flanges are not overstressed.
Repeat project sizes
Full face gaskets made in batches for pipeline and plant projects.

Sealing water and utility lines
Reinforced rubber gaskets, answered.
What is a rubber gasket with a metallic insert?
A rubber gasket moulded around a steel or stainless steel core. The rubber seals and the metal gives stiffness, so the gasket does not stretch, creep or blow out.
Where are they used?
On large, lightly bolted flanges, FRP, PVC and lined pipe, water and cooling water lines, and anywhere a plain rubber gasket would extrude.
Why not just use a thicker rubber gasket?
A thicker gasket creeps and extrudes more. The metal insert keeps the rubber in place and lets the gasket seal at low bolt load without overstressing plastic flanges.
Which rubber and insert should I choose?
EPDM with a galvanised or stainless insert suits water. Nitrile suits oils. Stainless inserts suit sea water and corrosive environments. Tell us the service and we will recommend.
