MRG Gaskets<br />
An MRG (Metal Reinforced Gasket) is a laminated gasket consisting <strong>of</strong> a metal core, covered with s<strong>of</strong>t conformable sealing materials<br />
on each face <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> core.<br />
While <strong>the</strong> solid metal core prevents gasket blowout, it provides high strength and rigidity; and <strong>the</strong> s<strong>of</strong>t facings provide for an exceptional<br />
seal.<br />
The metal core material is selected <strong>to</strong> suit <strong>the</strong> media <strong>to</strong> be sealed. A wide range <strong>of</strong> core materials is available. For chemical resistance<br />
and temperature stability purposes, <strong>the</strong> correct core material must always be selected.<br />
Standard core material is ei<strong>the</strong>r 304 or 316L stainless steel, and standard core thickness is 1/8".<br />
The s<strong>of</strong>t gasket facings can be Flexicarb, PTFE, Sigma, Thermiculite, or compressed fiber gasket material. However, Flexicarb is <strong>the</strong><br />
standard and most widely used facing material supplied with <strong>the</strong> MRG gasket.<br />

Suitable up <strong>to</strong> pressure Class 300, <strong>the</strong> MRG is widely used in <strong>the</strong> chemical and petrochemical industries, where a high temperature,<br />
corrosion resistant, high integrity joint is required. Although <strong>the</strong> MRG gasket can be utilized on standard flange applications in place<br />
<strong>of</strong> conventional compressed fiber sheet gaskets, or in some instances spiral wound gaskets, it is on special type assemblies where <strong>the</strong><br />
MRG is mainly utilized. Due <strong>to</strong> laser manufacturing techniques, any type <strong>of</strong> gasket shape can be produced.<br />
Where restricted or limited space precludes <strong>the</strong> use <strong>of</strong> spiral wound gaskets or limited bolt load is available <strong>to</strong> seat <strong>the</strong> gasket, <strong>the</strong><br />
MRG’s narrow cross sectional width makes it ideal for use in floating head arrangements <strong>of</strong> heat exchangers.<br />
