Product Description
Our large and segmented gaskets provide specialist sealing solutions for oversized industrial equipment, large-diameter flanges, vessels and machinery. Designed for applications where standard gasket dimensions are unsuitable, these components can be manufactured as single-piece gaskets or joined sections to achieve the required size and configuration.
We manufacture large-format rubber gaskets using precision cutting and fabrication techniques, producing custom shapes, internal openings and fixing holes to suit specific equipment requirements. Where material sheet sizes or manufacturing limitations prevent single-piece production, segmented gaskets provide a practical alternative.
Our bespoke manufacturing capabilities enable us to supply large-diameter sealing rings, flange gaskets, rectangular picture frame gaskets and complex profiles in a range of rubber, sponge and specialist gasket materials.
Large Gasket Construction Methods
We offer a range of manufacturing and joining options depending on gasket dimensions, material properties and sealing requirements.
Single-Piece Gaskets
Large-format gaskets can be precision cut from suitable sheet materials where the required dimensions fall within available material and cutting capabilities. This eliminates the need for joints and provides a continuous sealing surface.
Segmented & Joined Gaskets
For oversized applications, gaskets can be manufactured in individual sections and joined to achieve the required dimensions. Common joining methods include:
• Dovetail Joints: Interlocking sections that provide mechanical alignment and can be used with suitable bonding or sealing methods.
• Scarf Joints: Angled, overlapping joints that increase the bonding area and can provide improved joint integrity.
• Butt Joints: Square-cut sections joined using suitable bonding or vulcanisation techniques, depending on the material.
The most suitable construction method depends on the gasket material, operating pressure, temperature, compression and sealing requirements.
Bespoke Large & Segmented Gasket Manufacturing
We manufacture bespoke large-format and segmented gaskets for industrial machinery, pipework, vessels and specialist engineering applications. Using precision cutting and fabrication techniques, we can produce custom dimensions, internal openings, fixing holes and material thicknesses, with joined constructions available where required.
Contact our team with your technical drawing, dimensions or existing gasket sample, together with details of the operating conditions and required construction. We can help identify a suitable material and manufacturing method for your application.
FAQs
Yes. Single-piece gaskets can be manufactured where the required dimensions are compatible with the available sheet material and cutting capabilities. Larger designs may require a segmented construction.
Common joining methods include dovetail, scarf and butt joints. The most suitable method depends on the gasket material, operating conditions and sealing requirements.
Segmented gaskets may be suitable for certain pressure applications, provided the material, joint construction and flange conditions are appropriate. Suitability should be assessed for the specific application.
