| Material | Typical Engineering Applications |
|---|---|
| Graphite | Steam, boilers, high-temperature flanges |
| PTFE | Chemical processing, aggressive media |
| Non-asbestos fibre | General industrial sealing |
| EPDM | Water, steam, food processing |
| Nitrile (NBR) | Oils and hydraulic systems |
| Metal gaskets | High pressure and high temperature |
| Spiral wound | Critical flange joints |
| Rubber sheet | General industrial equipment |
Industrial engineering and manufacturing applications place high demands on gasket performance. Whether sealing steam systems, hydraulic equipment, process pipework or pumps, the correct gasket must withstand operating pressure, temperature, chemical compatibility and mechanical loading throughout its service life.
Dobson Gaskets manufactures standard and bespoke gaskets for OEMs, maintenance engineers, machine builders and industrial manufacturers throughout the UK and worldwide. Alongside new production components, we specialise in manufacturing obsolete and hard-to-source replacement gaskets through reverse engineering, enabling legacy machinery and unsupported equipment to remain in service. Using CAD design, laser cutting, waterjet cutting and CNC manufacturing, we produce precision gaskets from a comprehensive range of metallic, non-metallic and semi-metallic materials.
Our engineers work closely with customers to specify the most appropriate sealing solution for each application, whether producing a single prototype, reverse engineering an obsolete gasket or manufacturing high-volume production batches. Every component is manufactured under our ISO 9001:2015 quality management system to deliver consistent sealing performance and repeatable quality.
We manufacture and supply Spiral wound, camprofile and heat exchanger gaskets for industrial process applications.
Graphite is stable over high temperatures and pressures and resistant to many chemicals and corrosive elements such as steam.
The low coefficient of friction of PTFE materials make it ideal for use application with moving parts, such as industrial machinery.
We supply a vast range of gasket materials, available to buy directly or order from us. For more information visit the Gasket Sheet Materials page
