Bis 200 bar and 850 °C

The spiral wound gasket covers the toughest case; material and filler follow the medium and temperature.

Materials, temperatures and sealing types at VTE

Spiral wound gasket up to 850 °C

Usable up to 200 bar and 850 °C, with PTFE or graphite filler.

Standards-compliant production

CE marking, PED 2014/68/EU. Production for CIP/SIP processes and Ex zones.

Tests & proofs

100 % final inspection, material certificates, FDA conformity. Additional tests for sterile applications and ATEX areas.

Four gasket types

Spiral wound, kammprofile, flat and metal gaskets in the range.

Matched to the valve

On request matched to the flange standard, pressure rating and medium of the valve supplied.

Chemicals and power plants

Kammprofile gaskets are widespread in the chemical and petrochemical industries and in power plant engineering.

The VTE range at Armaturenfabrik

VTE Industrietechnik of Bitterfeld-Wolfen specialises in gaskets for valves, flanges and pipework. We currently list no VTE items in our catalogue – but we can source the range in full. For an enquiry we need the nominal size, pressure rating, flange standard, medium and temperature.

The gasket types and when they fit

Gasket typeConstructionApplication
Spiral wound gasketswound metal strip with a soft filler of PTFE or graphitethe most widely used metal/soft-material gasket; usable at sealing points up to 200 bar and 850 °C
Kammprofile gasketsmetal core with a machined profile and facings of PTFE or graphite on both sidescombine good conformity to the sealing face with blow-out safety; widespread in the chemical and petrochemical industries and in power plant engineering
Flat gasketssoft material in various materials and thicknessesthe standard for moderate pressures and temperatures
Metal gasketssolid metal versionsfor the highest pressures and temperatures, where soft material fails

The facing material determines the durability

With spiral wound and kammprofile gaskets it is not the metal core but the soft material that sets the limits: PTFE is chemically resistant to almost everything but limited in temperature. Graphite withstands the high temperatures but is restricted with strongly oxidising media. This choice comes before the geometry – not after it.

Why we supply gaskets

For us gaskets are not a range in their own right but the complement to the valve: anyone ordering a butterfly valve, a globe valve or an expansion joint from us can have the matching flange gaskets supplied with it – matched to the flange standard, pressure rating and medium of the valve delivered. That saves separate procurement and the question of whether the gasket fits the bolt pattern.

What we need for an enquiry

  • nominal size and pressure rating of the flanged joint
  • flange standard, for example EN 1092-1 or ASME B16.5
  • medium as well as operating temperature and pressure
  • where applicable, requirements from the plant standard, for instance on graphite or PTFE facings

FAQs

Can VTE gaskets be customized?

Yes, we offer custom-made products for special media, temperatures and standards.

For flanged joints on valves, pipework and vessels.

Yes, we supply ready-to-install units including fitting, gasket and documentation.

A single contact accompanies sizing, procurement and installation. For VTE we agree on automation, function testing and documentation in advance.

Because of the high reliability, quality and specialization in industrial sealing technology – and our experience as a partner.
