   Gaskets & Sheet Jointings    

James Walker manufactures and supplies complete ranges of metallic and semi-metallic joints, gaskets and sheet jointings to suit every industrial application.

In addition, we produce precision-cut flat gaskets to any shape, size and quantity from any sheet material, including our own extensive ranges of jointings. A vast stock of flange gaskets is held ready for immediate despatch, and we can economically cut non-standard profiles of any complexity within minutes.

Groups

Semi−metallic gaskets
These exceptionally versatile gaskets solve many flange sealing problems for industry. They have either a metal core with sealing materials on both flat surfaces, or a pliable core encased in a thin metallic casing.







Compressed fibre jointings
A range of highly proven non-asbestos sheet jointings that covers flange gasket duties with most fluid media from ASME Class 150 to Class 600 ratings, plus some special applications.





Expanded graphite jointings

Our range of Supagraf® expanded graphite jointings combines excellent chemical resistance with an exceptionally wide temperature range to provide outstanding sealing integrity over extended periods.








Prime features of Supagraf® jointings

  • Temperatures from cryogenic to above +400°C in oxiding environments.
  • Maximum working temperature of +2500°C in inert conditions under certain circumstances.
  • Fire safe.
  • Excellent resistance to stress relaxation, even at elevated temperatures. 
  • Totally compatible with steam, air and water.
  • High levels of joint stability.
  • Accommodates flange distortions where traditional sheet jointings fail to seal.   

PTFE jointings

James Walker's Fluolion® PTFE and WL Gore's Gore-Tex® gasket products provide outstanding chemical resistance for duties where hygiene and non-contamination are essential.

They offer many unique features:





  • Outstanding chemical resistance.
  • Non-corrosive, non-wetting, non-contaminating and odourless.
  • Tolerate temperatures between -200°C and +260°C.
  • Excellent electrical and thermal insulation when in virgin PTFE form. 

Cork−elastomer jointings

Nebar® cork-elastomer jointings are the obvious choice for numereous flange sealing duties with oils, fuels and water in the electrical, automotive, marine, aerospace and general machinery sectors.






Elastomeric gaskets/jointings
We in-house process and/or supply wide ranges of commercial and specification grade elastomers for flange sealing and other duties.





Other gasket products

We offer four further gasket types or materials - Supagraf® Boilermaster, Topog-E®, Gaskoid Jointing and Super Twilstele® XA/G - all for specific applications - plus our compact hand tool for cutting circular flange gaskets from compressed fibre jointings, rubber and cork-elastomer sheets. Also, our RotaBolt® tension control fasteners are widely used on high integrity flange jointed systems.


Flange sealing improvement

The vital role of the flange gasket is too often overlooked. Our on-site and workshop-based services are based on the vast technical expertise of James Walker companies in the selection, manufacture and supply of the optimum gasket products and flange sealing capabilities.


Gasket and profile cutting
Our CAD/CAM controlled water-jet, abrasive water-jet, and laser cutters produce precision cut gaskets and other complex profiles to any shape, size and quantity from virtually any sheet material.
