Boiler Gaskets

boiler gaskets

Boiler gaskets are used throughout a boiler as a sealing material. They can be found on both the waterside and the fireside of the heat exchanger. Ideal gaskets share some common traits:

  • Seal upon installation
  • Seat at low compressive stress
  • Stabilize immediately (without any relaxation over time)
  • Resist against creep and hot/cold flow
  • Low compression set
  • Seal fugitive emissions (those not visible)
  • Withstand high pressurization
  • Constructed of high temperature materials
  • Chemically resistant to feed-water treatments

There are two types of gaskets used in boilers, which can be labeled soft and hard.

Soft Gaskets

  • Constructed of low temperature materials
  • Extremely high compression set
  • Not impervious to all feed-water chemicals
  • Can extrude during installation or high pressure service
  • Susceptible to shearing if mis-aligned
  • Creeps over time
  • Woven designs are not impermeable
  • Not fire safe

Hard Gaskets

  • Very difficult to obtain initial seat with low loading
  • Very little recovery due to design
  • Low flexibility to conform to shell radii
  • Potential to spring during handling
  • High relaxation/ Low stability due to design
  • Geometry allow relaxation potential
We specialize in all boiler gaskets. We can help find the correct gasket for all boiler types.

Ajax Boiler Gaskets

Topog-e boiler gaskets are just one of the many gasket designs available through P. C. McKenzie Company. These gaskets have been in service since they were first released over 30 years ago. They are peroxide cured EPDM molded gaskets and are rated to 380 degree F and 180 psi steam. They carry a durrometer rating of 80-85 so shearing and over-tightening maybe a concern.

Spiral Wound – for boiler cap and manhole cover assemblies.
Gaskets for boiler handhole, tubecap and manhole covers incorporating the unique Flexitallic spiral wound profile and specially manufactured with Flexicarb filler, are ideal for corrosive, high pressure or temperature duties.

Standard Style M – Round, Obround, Oval
Style T Pear – Round, Obround, Oval, Rectangle, Diamond, Pear
Style T Square – Square

Natural Gas for Our Future
Natural Gas an ideal fuel source for many reasons, including safety. Natural Gas is lighter than air. This means that it will not puddle (like gasoline) or sink to the ground like propane, which is heavier than air. Instead, Natural Gas will rise and dissipate in the atmosphere. Natural gas also has a higher ignition temperature. This means that it is much harder to ignite. Also the storage systems used for compressed natural gas are infinitely stronger that the gasoline tanks found on cars and trucks today.
