When selecting a metal seal, one question you should ask is what material should be used. The answer may be a bit more complex when you consider specific performance properties. What kind of strength do you need? Is cost a factor? Are the conditions high temperature or require corrosion resistance?
Since our business has a large range of metal materials available, you will receive a metal solution that fits your needs.
While the inner design of a metal seal is key, the outside is just as important. Metal seal platings and coatings have exceptional features in sealing technology.
- The additional soft layer is instrumental in improving the leakage rate, used to fill the roughness of the counter flange and enhance the sealing performance.
- The softer the plating, the more it can improve and cover surface irregularities in the hardware. Generally, a metal seal lies side by side with the high demands placed on the surface quality of the customer’s hardware.
- Special patented coatings are used to improve the wear resistance. PTFE is typically applied, while plated seals use gold, silver, copper, tin, and nickel as a top layer. For jacketed seals, aluminum lining is used.
Our business offers a complete range of resilient metal sealing solutions. Each solution has a unique design that supports a different type of leakage rate, load or spring back. Although we have standard dimensions, our value comes from our expertise and flexibility to provide custom dimensions.
Omniseal®
Metal C-Seals
Metal face C-Seals help overcome both heat and pressure pulsating sealing challenges. The key to the seal's superior performance is the high springback characteristic due to the C-shaped construction. These highly resilient seals can be used for internal, external, and axial pressures under extreme conditions that preclude the use of gaskets made of organic materials.
Used in
where very low leak rates are demanded
Omniseal®
Metal Spring-Energized Face Seals
This face seal is designed with a spring-energizer in a C-Seal jacket, which is a self-pressure, activated design to provide an effective metal-to-metal leak proof solution. The proper combination of the base materials and surface coatings make it possible to seal almost any fluid at extreme temperatures and pressures without deterioration of the seal over extended periods of time.
Used in
highly demanding applications in leakage rate with high load available
Omniseal®
Metal E-Seals
Metal face E-Seals are engineered to operate in applications that require light loading, flexibility, and high temperature capability. The seals operate primarily within the elastic limits of the material.
Used in
applications that require light loading, flexibility & high temperature capability.
Omniseal®
Metal O-Rings
These metal face seals are long lasting seals and unlike non-metallic seals, they are not subject to failure due to incompatibility with the environment, outgassing, or deterioration from age.
Used in
areas where elastomers & other non-metallic seals will not seal properly or do not offer required reliability for the application (temperature, pressure, environment).
Omniseal®
Metal V-Seals
This metal face sealing solution allows higher flange lift-off, a lower bolt force requirement and is highly pressure activated.
Used in
low load requirements & limited leak tightness requirements
Omniseal®
Metal Turbo Seals
Metal turbo seals have been engineered to be used in applications that require light loading, flexibility, and high temperature capability. They can be energized by a spring to enhance the sealing performances of the seal.
Used in
applications when cavities are wide enough & in low compression load; similar to E-Seals
