These are produced in accordance  to ASME B16.20, BS or DIN Std. with a wide variety of materials  available at your request.  ISM1 While requiring a smooth flange face and high bolt load, the solid metal ISM1  gasket has numerous points. It has great strength, good heat conductivity, and  resistance to temperature, corrosion and pressure. There is practically no size or  shape limitation.  ISM3 In cross section, the ISM3 gasket incorporates a solid metal core with graphite  foil bonded to each face. The graphite facing layers are manufactured from high  purity material to exact thickness and density, thus ensuring that correct material  compression can be controlled, vital in enclosed applications. This high quality  graphite material provides excellent sealing characteristics, readily flowing into  flange imperfections under relatively low applied loads, whilst the metallic core  provides a rigid gasket construction, vital for operating and handling conditions  ISM2 This type of gasket is economical for a low-pressure seal on smooth flanges with  low bolt pressure. Advantages are low cost, lightweight and greater resilience  than a comparable flat solid gasket. Temperature applications are based upon  the metal selected  SOLID METAL & PLUG TYPE
