Due to their large size, double-jacketed gaskets used in shell and tube heat exchangers are manufactured by radial bending of pre-fabricated jacketed strip and joined by butt-welding of the metal jacket ends. This paper reports the results of a study to show the scalability behavior of the butt-welded DJ gaskets and their joint resistance, when installed in flanges with and without nubbin varying the seating stress.
