SEMI-METALLIC GASKETS
​
Hoffman-Kane spiral wound gaskets have the ability to recover under the action of fluctuating loads caused by process fluid pressure and temperature changes, flange face temperature variations, flange rotation, bolt stress relaxation and creep. The gasket sealing element consists of a pre-formed metallic winding strip with layers of a softer, more compressible sealing material which, during compression, is densified and flows to fill imperfections in the flange surfaces. The metal strip holds the filler giving the gasket mechanical resistance and resilience.
Hoffman-Kane spiral wound gasket dimensions available in accordance with ASME B16.20 used with ASME B16.5 or ASME B16.47 flanges. DIN, BS10, and JIS standards are available upon request. Custom special gaskets are also available upon request.
HKWO SPIRAL WOUND GASKET W/O INNER RING

Style HKWO gaskets are suitable for use on raised and flat faced flanged connections. Style HKWO gaskets are suitable for use in mild to moderate service conditions.
HKWOI SPIRAL WOUND GASKET W/ INNER RING
-
Style HKWOI – In addition to an outer metal ring the HKWOI style gasket is fitted with an inner metal ring, constraining the sealing element on both internal and external diameters. The inner ring functions as an additional compression stop and prevents inner buckling of the sealing element. It also creates a physical barrier between the sealing element and process stream shielding from heat and media while preventing erosion. Style HKWOI gaskets are suitable for use on raised and flat faced flanged connections and moderate to severe service conditions.
HKW SPIRAL WOUND GASKET WINDING ONLY
-
Style HKW – Is comprised of a sealing element, additional plies of metal are used at the start and termination of the winding process improving stability and sealing performance.

SOFT FILLER
TOTALLY ENCLOSED
Hoffman-Kane double-jacketed gaskets are particularly suited for applications like heat-exchangers and boilers. The gasket is constructed of a soft, heat resistant, non-asbestos filler material, which is completely enclosed in a two-piece metal jacket. When pass partition bars are required, we offer a welded pass bar construction. With a welded pass bar arrangement the fluid is retained by the primary seal at the inner diameter of the gasket. Thus the primary seal maintains its function, providing a seal of higher integrity.
Advantages
• the metal jacket covering the filler material prevents contamination
• ensures high elasticity and recovery
• nearly any dimension and shape can be made • the welded construction of the bars results in two independent seals: the primary seal at the inner diameter and the secondary seal at the outer diameter.
CAMPROFILE W/ FILLER
Recently included in ASME B16.20 (rev. 2012), the Hoffman-Kane Camprofile w/ filler gasket is comprised of a concentrically serrated solid metal core with a soft, conformable sealing material bonded to each face. The soft facing material provides low stress gasket seating, while the serrated geometry of the metal core enhances sealing performance by inducing stress concentrations on the sealing surfaces. The serrations minimize lateral movement of the facing material, while the metal core provides rigidity and blowout resistance. This gasket exhibits excellent compressibility and recovery characteristics, maintaining joint tightness under pressure and temperature fluctuations, temperature differential across the flange face, flange rotation, bolt stress relaxation, and creep. Suitable from vacuum to extremely high pressure applications.
METALLIC GASKETS
CORRUGATED SOLID METAL
The superior technology of the corrugated family of gaskets ensures excellent sealing performance and reliability, even in the most difficult applications. Each of the four styles combines a corrugated metal core with a compressible sealing element of various materials, for resistance to a wide range of harsh conditions, including extreme temperature, corrosive chemicals, and thermal cycling.
RING JOINT GASKETS
Hoffman-Kane Ring Joint gaskets are developed for use in the petroleum industry and in particular for wellhead and Christmas tree- as well as drilling and oil & gas production equipment. These solid precision machined metallic gaskets, also called and known as ring type joint (RTJ) gaskets are suitable for the highest possible pressure and temperature duties and form together with special grooved API 6A (ISO 10423) type 6BX flanges a high integrity seal.
These gaskets are manufactured in a special symmetric shape of the cross-section. The width of the sealing faces is small and high seating stresses can be formed. Dimensions of gaskets and corresponding grooves are designed in such a way that the gaskets do become self-sealing characteristics. This effect is also known as pressure energized sealing.
