Nickel 200/201 Plug Gaskets

A Nickel 200/201 Plug Gasket is a solid, circular sealing element precision-machined from commercially pure wrought nickel. These gaskets are the go-to choice for aggressive chemical environments, especially those involving caustic and alkaline solutions. Their unique composition—typically over 99% pure nickel—gives them a distinct advantage by providing outstanding resistance to corrosion, excellent mechanical properties, and high thermal conductivity. These gaskets are essential for creating a robust, leak-free seal in pipelines, valves, and pressure vessels, ensuring operational integrity in environments where other metals would quickly degrade.

While often dual-certified, Nickel 200 and Nickel 201 are distinct grades with a critical difference in their carbon content. This difference determines their suitability for specific temperature ranges and prevents costly material failures.

For applications involving high-temperature caustic solutions, the low-carbon Nickel 201 Plug Gaskets are the industry standard, providing a reliable and durable seal where Nickel 200 would fail.

What is the main difference between Nickel 200 and Nickel 201? 

The main difference is carbon content. Nickel 201 has a lower carbon content than Nickel 200, making it a better choice for high-temperature applications (above 600°F) where it resists embrittlement.

Can you provide custom sizes for these gaskets? 

Yes, as a direct manufacturer, we specialize in producing custom gaskets based on your specific drawings, dimensions, or samples to fit your specialized equipment perfectly.

What is the primary use for Nickel 200/201 Plug Gaskets? 

They are primarily used in corrosive environments, especially those involving caustic alkalies like sodium hydroxide. They are also ideal for applications in the chemical, food processing, and oil and gas industries where high-temperature resistance and material purity are essential.
