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.

|
Expanded graphite jointings
Supagraf® expanded graphite jointings combine excellent chemical resistance with an exceptionally wide temperature range to provide outstanding sealing over extended periods.
• Temperatures from cryogenic to above +400°C in oxiding environments. • Maximum temperature of +2500°C in inert conditions under certain circumstances. • Excellent resistance to stress relaxation at elevated temperatures.

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. Moreover, our protection devices are well-proven products that help extend the operational life and long-term sealing efficiency of bolted flange joints.

|
Kammprofile-type gaskets
Our Metakamm® gaskets are now widely specified for high temperature/pressure pipework and vessels where spiral wound gaskets were previously used.
|
|
|
Machined/corrugated gaskets
We produce precision-machined solid metal gaskets to provide top performance under extreme conditions; and metallic corrugated types, often with expanded graphite on the sealing surfaces, for high temperature applications.
|
|
|
Other gasket products
We offer a variety of gasket types or materials 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.

Ring joint gaskets
API-licensed and ASME ranges of solid metal ring joints, precision manufactured in the UK by James Walker Moorflex for high pressure oilfield applications and process industry duties.
Available to API 6A (oilfield use) and ASME B16.20 (general use) standards to fit ASME, BS and DIN flanges.
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
Spiral wound gaskets
James Walker Metaflex® gaskets will seal flanges where temperature, pressure, vibration and flow rates are beyond the capability of conventional jointing materials.
They are used worldwide for pipelines and pressure vessels on steam, petrochemical, nuclear, marine and hydraulic plant, as well as on heat exchangers.
