GASKETS & JOINTS
Tooling is available to produce all standard pipe flange gaskets (BST, ASA, DIN etc.) from any material.
Simply advise us of:
- Grades required
- Thickness
- Flange specification (e.g. BS 10, ASA 300, BS 4504)
- The nominal bore
- Whether inside bolt circle (ring joint) or full face
For individual requirements to customer specification, new tooling can be produced and gaskets cut in many instances on a 24-hour basis.
Should press cutting not be practical or economical we have the ability and experience to produce hand-made joints to any shape or size. A complete gasket cutting service is available from Ashton Seals in a large range of materials.
CAD/CAM
Ashton Seals have the capability to manufacture gaskets making use of fast, accurate, automated cutting with the latest CAD/CAM technology. We have the capability to work to samples, drawings or CAD files (DWG files, DXF files etc).
