Metallic / Semi-Metallic Gaskets
KLINGER can manufacture metallic gaskets in a wide range of alloys to cover even the most chemically aggressive applications.
KLINGER manufactures a range of metallic & semi-metallic gaskets including:
- Maxiflex spiral wound
- Maxiprofile coated grooved metal
- Maxigraph covered, corrugated metal
- Ring type joints
- KLINGER Eco-Seal low emissions spiral wound gasket
These gaskets, along with the older style jacketed gaskets are widely used in petrochemical applications. Metallic gaskets often utilise a soft sealing media such as graphite used in conjunction with the metal to create a high-strength, high-integrity gasket able to create joints with very high leak tightness.

Maxiflex Pro
A high-integrity, dual-seal gasket specially designed for service in high-criticality, corrosive applications where sealing performance is of paramount importance. The inner ring of a standard Maxiflex can allow media to accumulate which could promote corrosion. Maxiflex PRO prevents this; the conformable facing material enables the gasket seal at the flange bore eliminating media build-up.
Maxiflex PRO-X Metallic Gasket For Seawater Applications
An addition to the Maxiflex PRO range designed for use in seawater applications where the graphite cannot be exposed to the media. Maxiflex PRO-X incorporates a serrated PTFE faced inner ring which seals with very low load. This offers exceptional sealing performance at the gasket bore to reduce crevice corrosion at the inner ring.
Maxiflex Spiral Wound Gasket
Spiral wound gaskets combine the ease of sealing of a graphite, PTFE or mica filler with the strength afforded by a specially profiled metallic, spring-like reinforcement. The sealing element is manufactured by interleaving plies of alternating metallic winding strip and filler to create a gasket that is robust and easy to install. Maxiflex spiral wound…
Maxigraph Corrugated Graphite Gasket
Maxigraph consists of a corrugated metallic core encapsulated by a graphite coating. It has been designed to seal on low load applications previously designed for Spiral Wound gaskets such as 150 and also 300lb lines. A robust and easy to handle gasket, the corrugations in the core develop high stress areas to produce a gasket…
Maxiprofile Kammprofile Gasket
Maxiprofile grooved, covered metal gaskets consist of a serrated metallic core with a soft facing material. The Maxiprofile style gasket is mainly used in vessel applications where often the gasket width is limited. Maxiprofiles are also often used as an upgrade on applications currently using metal jacketed gaskets due to the improved leaktightness, ease of…
Metal Jacketed Gaskets
The most basic type of semi-metallic gasket has a compressible insert enclosed within metallic jacket. The insert material forces the metal to deform to suit the flange surface and effect a seal. Metal jacketed gaskets are commonly used in heat exchangers though are often replaced by Maxiprofile style gaskets. Metal jacketed gaskets can be manufactured…
Ring Type Joints (RTJs)
RTJs are designed to be used in high pressure applications and can be manufactured from a number of materials to suit the process media and the flange materials. RTJs are precision machined metallic rings which are designed to be used with API 6B, ASME B16.5 and API 6BX (dependent on the gasket style) flanges. RTJs…
