PTFE Envelope Gaskets

Custom Engineered Sealing Solutions by Beldam Crossley

Made in Britain

Leading Envelope Gasket Manufacturer – Custom Solutions for Extreme Conditions

Precision-made PTFE envelope gaskets from Beldam Crossley offer outstanding chemical resistance and superior sealing reliability in aggressive industrial environments. Manufactured in the UK using decades of engineering expertise, our envelope gaskets are designed for performance in pipeline systems, distillation columns, reactor vessels, and more.

What Is a PTFE Envelope Gasket?

Also known as jacketed gaskets, PTFE-sheathed gaskets, or encapsulated gaskets, envelope gaskets are composite sealing components that combine a chemically inert PTFE outer layer with a compressible internal insert. This hybrid design delivers both the chemical compatibility of PTFE and the resilience needed to compensate for flange irregularities—especially useful in large diameter or corroded pipework.

  • Key Product Types & Options – Beldam Crossley designs and manufactures three core styles of PTFE envelope gaskets:
  • Type M (Machined Envelope) – Precision-machined PTFE for a smooth, snug-fitting bore. Ideal for applications demanding dimensional accuracy.

Sizes: Up to DN600 (ASA 24″).

  • Type V (Sliced Envelope) – Knife-cut for cost-effective performance where thickness is less critical.

Sizes: Up to DN600 (ASA 24″).

  • Type W (Welded Envelope) – PTFE tape is wrapped around the insert and welded at the joint—ideal for large, oval, or custom shapes.

Sizes: Any size over 450mm (18”) ID.

Custom envelope configurations, including reversed envelopes and full-face gaskets, are available on request.

Materials & Temperature Range

Each gasket insert can be tailored to meet your performance requirements with a variety of core materials, including:

  • Compressed fibre jointing
  • Rubber
  • Fluoroelastomers
  • Stainless steel corrugated rings (with or without tabs)

Operating temperature range: from -240°C to +250°C, depending on insert material.

Applications

Envelope gaskets are ideally suited for use in:

  • Chemical processing plants
  • Pharmaceutical manufacturing
  • Petrochemical and refinery systems
  • Food & beverage pipelines
  • Water treatment and distillation columns
  • Reactor vessels with corrosive media

These gaskets provide long-term sealing integrity even under fluctuating temperature and pressure conditions, making them a trusted solution for demanding industrial processes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Envelope gaskets use less PTFE while delivering the same chemical protection. The insert improves resilience and lowers cost.

Yes. Beldam Crossley specialises in custom sealing solutions. We can design and produce gaskets to suit non-standard flanges or complex geometries.

Yes, PTFE is non-reactive and FDA-compliant, making our gaskets ideal for sanitary applications.
