LAMONS PHILOSOPHY
~-
INTRODUCTION
Lamons Metal Gasket Company manufactures and supplies all types of
metallic gaskets for use in heat exchangers, valves, pumps, compressors,
boilers and many other types of industrial equipment. Our commitment to
service and quality have made Lamons the leader in metallic gaskets in the
United States and Canada.
We are committed to stocking the widest selection of gasket materials
ready for immediate production of custom gaskets. Our complete in-house
machining facilities enables us to make our own precision dies, ensuring
fast turnaround and complete commitment to quality at every stage of
manufacture.
On page two is a chart on cross-sectional views of our more common
styles of machined ring gaskets.
HELP FROM LAMONS
Lamons has experienced gasket sales personnel and engineers ready to
assist you on your special requirements. We want to help you. Additional
technical literature as well as product literature on other types of gaskets
we manufacture is available upon request. Lamons is a leader in the
manufacturing of spiral wound gaskets as well as "soft" cut gaskets. With
manufacturing plants throughout the United States and in Canada, Lamons
can provide the service you need when you need it.

API ring Jointgaskets come in two basic types,
an oval cross section and an octagonal cross
section. These basic shapes are used in pressures up to 10,000 psi. The dimensions are
standardized and require specially grooved
flanges. The octagonal cross section has a
higher sealing efficiency than the oval and
would be the preferred gasket. However, only
the oval cross section can be used in the old
type round bottom groove. The newer flat bottom groove design will accept either the oval or
the octagonal cross section. The sealing surfaces on the ring joint grooves must be smoothly

oval or octagonal shape in that it is square in
cross section and tapers in each corner. They
can only be used in API 6BX flanges. RX ring
gaskets are similar in shape to the standard octagonal ring joint gasket but their cross section
is designed to take advantage of the contained
fluid pressure in effecting a seal. They are both

finished to 63 microinches and be free of obJectionable ridges, tool or chatter marks. They
seal by an initial line contact or a wedging
action as the compressive forces are applied.
The hardness of the ring should always be less
than the hardness of the flanges. Dimensions for
API ring joint gaskets and grooves are covered
in ANSI B16.20 and API6A
Lamons stocks a wide range of sizes and
materials ready for immediate shipment from
R11 to R105. Stock materials include soft iron,
low carbon steel, 4-6 chrome (F5), 304 & 304L,
316 & 316L, 347, 410, Monel, Inconel and Incoloy.

valve bonnets for pressures of 1500 psi and
above. The cross section of the gasket is such
that internal pressure acting against the ring
forces it against the containing surface making
a self-energized seal. Bridgeman gaskets are
frequently silver plated or lead plated to provide
a softer surface and minimize the force required
to flow the gasket metal into the flange surface.
A delta gasket is a pressure actuated gasket
used primarily on pressure vessels and valve
bonnets at very high pressures in excess of
5000 psi. As with the lens gasket, complete
drawings and material specifications must be
supplied. Internal pressure forces the gasket
material to expand when the pressure forces
tend to separate the flanges. Extremely smooth
surface finishes of 63 microinches or smoother
are required when using this type of gasket.
A lens type gasket is a line contact seal for
use in high pressure piping systems and In
pressure vessel heads. The lens cross section is
a spherical gasket surface and requires special
machining on the flanges. These gaskets will
seat with a small bolt load since the contact
area is very small and gasket seating pressures
are very high. Normally the gasket materials
should be softer than the flange. In ordering
lens gaskets, complete drawings and material
specifications must be supplied.
