For standard flange sizes, AG carries a large range of spiral wound gaskets available for immediate delivery. This range of stock includes our WR and WRI style spirals (in a variety of materials) as well as our more specialised styles. Custom sized spiral wound gaskets can be produced quickly to suit individual applications.
In addition to our range of spirals, AG offers a comprehensive range of RTJ gaskets for very high pressure connections. Typically used on API flanges, these solid metal gaskets are available in a number of different styles, materials, densities and sizes to suit practically all standard flange sizes. Specialised coatings and custom sized seals can also be provided when required.
Compression Packings
Designed for sealing pumps and valves, AG’s range of Marigold packings includes grades capable of sealing almost any medium. These high quality packings include grades designed for very high temperatures, pressures and speeds and can be provided in standard or specialised lengths of fabricated into preformed packing rings for easy installation.
Common sizes (typically between 3mm and 25mm²) are often held in stock whilst non-standard sizes can also be produced to suit the needs of highly specialised installations.
Rubber Gaskets, Seals and Extrusions
AG’s range of rubber materials includes all common grades with each available in a number of different thicknesses, types and sizes. Most can be provided by the metre or roll (a limited number are available only in sheet form) or be supplied custom fabricated for quick installation and minimised wastage. Intricately and accurately cut gaskets and components, slit rubber tapes and complex expansion joints, extrusions and moulded components can also be provided in a range of materials matched to your applications requirements.
Compressed Fibre, Graphite and PTFE Based Gaskets
Offered in sheet or cut component form, AG has one of Australia’s largest ranges of gasket materials. Our brand independence means we’re able to offer the very best material for your application, regardless of manufacturer. We couple this flexibility with extensive stocks of a range of different materials, many of which are stocked in extra-large sheets to enable one-piece fabrication of large gaskets and components.
In addition to our range of quality compressed fibre materials, AG also offers a variety of graphite or PTFE based materials. The graphite based sheets are designed specifically for high temperature applications with a number of grades also featuring metallic reinforcements to increase their resistance to pressure. Conversely, the PTFE based materials offer outstanding resistance to chemicals and have a long service life, in even the harshest of sealing environments.
