Seals are used wherever a substance is to be prevented from escaping from a flow medium. The choice of material is often based on the material of the flow medium and the circumstances in which seals are used. The materials used are usually steel, iron or non-ferrous metals. A distinction is made mainly between static seals, dynamic seals, translatory seals and rotary seals. In addition, spiral seals, ring-joint seals, lens seals, flat seals, weld lip seals, comb profile seals, shaft ring seals and insert rings are to be mentioned as special seals.Metal seals are generally static seals and are preferably used in the high or low temperature range. Make sure that the metal of the seal is softer than the metal of the flow medium. Metal seals differ in their application and properties. For example, flat gaskets made of fiberboard or expanded graphite, which are equipped with a metal flange on the inside diameter, are used against pressure surges or protection against aggressive substances in pipelines. Mainly metal seals can be found in the following application areas: Steam pipelines, refineries, offshore, valves, power stations.
