High-pressure gaskets are used in applications where standard gaskets are not sufficient. They are designed to provide a reliable seal even at high pressures and are used, for example, in pressure vessels, pressure tanks, valves, couplings, flange connections, and motors in the process industry, energy sector, manufacturing, and hydraulic and pneumatic systems. These applications place high demands on both the material’s sealing performance and its mechanical strength.
At Cabseal, we help companies select high-pressure seals based on the technical requirements of the specific application. Factors such as operating pressure, temperature, the medium to be sealed, and chemical exposure play a major role in determining which material works best and provides a long-term, reliable seal.
Pressure, temperature and flange typeHow to Choose the Right High-Pressure Gaskets
There is no single high-pressure seal that is suitable for all applications. The choice of material must always be tailored to how the seal will be used and the loads to which it will be subjected. Operating pressure, temperature, medium, flange type, and compression requirements are some of the factors that influence the selection.
High-pressure gaskets are often used in pressure vessels, pressure tanks, valves, couplings, flanged joints, heat exchangers, motors, and other process equipment where a reliable seal is essential. For flanged joints conforming to standards such as DN/PN, the gasket must also be adapted to the flange’s dimensions and pressure class.

All designs look different, which is why it is important to select a high-pressure gasket that is tailored to the specific application. Factors such as operating pressure, temperature, the medium, and the flange connection influence which material is most suitable.
High-pressure gaskets are often used as flange gaskets (DN/PN & IBC) in piping systems, valves, pressure vessels, and other process equipment where a reliable seal is essential. In high-temperature applications, our heat-resistant gaskets may be a more suitable alternative.
Materials with different properties
Different materials are suitable for different types of high-pressure applications, and the choice depends on factors such as pressure, temperature, and the medium to be sealed.
Fiber is a common material used in flange joints where high pressures are present.
PTFE is often used when the gasket needs to withstand chemicals and corrosive media.
NBR is well-suited for use in hydraulic systems and other applications where the gasket comes into contact with oils.
Viton® is a good option when the gasket needs to withstand higher temperatures or more demanding chemical environments.
Reinforced rubber materials are used when the gasket requires extra strength and stability under high loads.
Custom High-Pressure Seals for Your Application
In high-pressure applications, it is important that the seal is designed to suit both the design of the system and the operating conditions under which it will be used. The material, dimensions, and tolerances must work together to provide a safe and durable seal.
We manufacture high-pressure gaskets based on drawings or existing samples and help you select the right material based on operating pressure, temperature, and the medium to be sealed. Using a variety of manufacturing methods and drawing on a wide range of materials in stock, we can develop solutions for both individual parts and mass production.
