Rubber-Steel Gaskets
Rubber-steel gaskets have secured a fixed application range in the world of gasket technology. Wherever safe sealing of media with an extremely low leakage rates and low joint loads at relatively low temperatures is required, rubber-steel gaskets provide the best possible solution. The different steel supporting rings cause increasing pressure stability and enable trouble-free handling of the rubbersteel gaskets - even under the most difficult assembly conditions. As a result of its very good adaptability to the sealing surfaces, rubber as a sealing material give you an opportunity of sealing safely even in rough service conditions. Ask our engineering consultancy service or our in-site field sales staff about the best possible rubber-steel gasket for your operating conditions. Make use of our experience in gasket technology which we have gathered in more than one hundred years.

RUBBER-STEEL GASKETS
PROFILE WG
Rubber-Steel Gasket
PROFILE WG
- Main load gasket The WG profile rubber-steel gasket consists of a carbonsteel ring which is completely enclosed in rubber. Thus the steel ring is protected against corrosion and media. As a result of the vulcanisation high adhesion is guaranteed between the rubber and the steel ring. Special features: High reliability against pressing or pushing out because of the steel reinforcement Simple, safe and cost-effective gasket assembly compared with non-reinforced rubber gaskets due to the dimensional stability Extremely low leakage rate as a result of the homogenous rubber coating, therefore particularly suitable for pipeline systems with environmentally endangering media Low demands made on the flange surfaces due to the soft, adaptable sealing surface, sealing is even possible with slightly damaged flanges Depending on diameter usable up to approx. 25 bar with a tightening surface pressure of 2 N/mm up to max. 15 N/mm

Rubber-Steel Gasket
PROFILE WG2
- Main load gasket The WG2 profile rubber-steel gasket is a further development of the WG profile rubber-steel gasket. On the inner diameter it has two stable sealing lips and on the outer diameter the shape of the WG profile rubber-steel gasket. Special features: Reliable tightness even with the slightest fastening torque, therefore the WG2 profile rubber-steel gasket is particularly suitable for flanged joints made of plastics, to which high forces should not apply Greater tightness as a result of the self-sealing effect of the sealing lips with internal pressure load No overstressing or creeping of the flexible sealing lips compared to rubber-steel gaskets with solid profile extension such as an O-ring or tapered ring Optimal compensation of flange irregularities as a result of the flexible sealing lips, particularly if all-over sealing cannot always be guaranteed as with glass-fibre reinforced flanges Certain compensation of smaller flange distortions Depending on diameter usable up to approx. 25 bar with a tightening surface pressure of 2 N/mm up to max. 15 N/mm
Typical applications: Plastic and glass-fibre reinforced flange joints Sealing vacuum-operated pipeline systems in the chemical industry Gas and drinking water supplies Sealing torsionally soft flanges

Rubber-Steel Gasket
PROFILE WL
- Off-load gasket The WL profile rubber-steel gasket consists of a bichromeplated St37 supporting ring and a rubber sealing ring with integrally moulded sealing lips. The supporting ring is also available in stainless steel or plastic. In contrast to conventional gaskets the rubber sealing ring of the WL profile rubber-steel gasket is in the off-load. This means that the supporting ring absorbs all the forces which are too high for the rubber sealing ring. A further advantage is that the rubber sealing ring is shut up on the outside by the supporting ring. As a result of the sealing in the off-load both very high internal pressures and additional forces from the pipeline system are allowed. The WL profile rubber-steel gasket combines the advantages of a rubber gasket with those of a metal gasket. Special features: No overloading of the rubber sealing ring is possible if pipes are installed vertically, for example in well building conventional rubber-steel gaskets are condinually overstressed depending upon the weight of the pipelines which have been installed above Reliable sealing even with strong pressure cycles or shocks Simple and safe assembly, assembly faults due to applying too high and varying tightening torque will be minimised (most frequent reason for the failure of a rubber-steel gasket) Trouble-free replacement of the rubber sealing ring, therfore reusable Advantages as a result of the flexible sealing lip, as already explained with the WS profile rubber-steel gasket Manufacture of special dimensions without any additional tooling costs, for an inner diameter of approx. 400 mm and up Very large application range, depending on diameter usable up to approx. 100 bar with a tightening surface pressure of 12 N/mm up to max. 250 N/mm with a supporting ring made of steel Typical applications: High-pressure pipelines, e.g. gas pipelines for gas supplies, gas pressure regulator systems Pipeline construction, e.g. underground pipelines Flue gas purification plants and cooling circuits in power plants Pipeline and appliance construction with partially rubberised flange sealing surfaces
We are readily at your disposal with our design recommendations to ascertain the flange groove for the rubber coating.

Rubber-Steel Gasket
PROFILE WL-HT
- Off-load gasket - HTB-tested Profile WL-HT The WL-HT profile rubber-steel gasket is in principle design in the same way as the WL profile gasket, but the supporting ring is equipped with graphite layers. The rubber sealing lip is made of NBR 50219.0 (approved for gas and drinking water supplies) and the supporting ring is of bichromeplated St37. Normally, the rubber sealing lip acts as the primary gasket. Under high thermal load, e.g. in the event of a fire, the supporting ring with graphite layers seals as an auxiliary gasket. Special features: Approved and tested under high thermal load (HTB)* at 650C, 30 minutes for use in flange joints (DN 25 to DN 200) by the DVGW (German Association of Gas and Water Experts) research unit in Karlsruhe in conformity with DWGW-VP 301, DIN 33822 and DIN 3374.

PROFILE WL2
Rubber-Steel Gasket
PROFILE WL2
- Off-load gasket The WL2 profile rubber-steel gasket consists of a rubber sealing ring with an integrally moulded sealing lip and a supporting ring made of stainless steel. The supporting ring is designed of an elastic corrugated ring, which is connected by spot welding on both sides with a flat ring at the outer area. The rubber sealing ring has an undulating profile in the slot for the supporting ring adapted to the corrugated ring. Special features: In the event of flange torsion the steel supporting ring gives way a little due to the elastic corrugated ring so that the flange does not lift so much in the inner sealing area The WL2 profile rubber-steel gasket can be used for vacuum operation because the rubber sealing lip cannot be extracted because of the corrugated slot The WL2 profile rubber-steel gasket has nearly the same properties as the WL profile rubber-steel gasket Typical applications: Condensate and cooling water pipes as well as flue gas purification plants in power plants In the chemical industry

The surface pressure have not exceed the values specified in the table of gasket parameters. The sealing dimension must always be considered - in other words: If diameter d2 is greater than the raised face diameter, then the raised face diameter must be considered If diameter d2 is smaller than the raised face diameter, then the diameter d2 must be considered The deviation of the bolting tigthening procedure must be taken into consideration.
Thermal resistance is related to air * approved for use in gas and drinking water supplies
- no double stockkeeping - no risk of confusion Approved in keeping with: - DVGW-DIN 3534-3 Reg. no. 97-0158-GNE - KTW recommendation part 1.3.13 section D1 + D2 (Physiological safeness test) - DVGW work sheet W270 (Microbiological safeness test) Ask for our test reports.

= Pre-deformation surface pressure for the off load to calculate the minimum bolting load.
In order to calculate the maximum bolting load for flanges with raised face - in order to calculate b2 - the raised face diameter, instead of d3, must be considered.
