Precision Klingersil Washers Manufactured in the UK
Bluemay Weston manufactures precision Klingersil washers to standard and bespoke specifications for customers across a wide range of industries. Produced using our punching and water jet cutting capabilities, Klingersil washers can be supplied in small development quantities through to high-volume production runs.
Klingersil is a well-known family of compressed fibre gasket materials used for sealing applications where reliable performance is required. Depending on the specific grade selected, Klingersil washers can be suitable for use with oils, water, steam, gases, fuels, hydrocarbons and a wide range of industrial media.
Compressed Fibre Washers for Sealing Applications
Klingersil washers offer a practical combination of compressibility, sealing performance and resistance to many industrial environments. Unlike rigid plastic washers, compressed fibre washers can conform under load, helping to create an effective seal between mating surfaces.
Klingersil materials are frequently specified for gasket and sealing applications where a punched or water jet cut washer is required to suit a particular component, assembly or housing. The correct grade should always be selected according to the media, temperature, pressure and operating conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions About Klingersil Washers
Klingersil washers are used in sealing applications where a compressed fibre washer or gasket-style component is required. They are commonly found in pump and valve assemblies, pipework, flanges, industrial equipment, fluid handling systems and general engineering applications.
Klingersil is a family of compressed fibre gasket materials used for sealing applications. Different Klingersil grades are available, with properties suited to different media, pressure, temperature and operating environments.
Yes. Klingersil washers are commonly used for sealing applications. Their compressed fibre structure allows them to conform under load and help create a seal between mating surfaces, provided the correct grade, thickness and installation method are used.
Some Klingersil grades are suitable for applications involving water, oils, steam, gases, fuels and other industrial media. Suitability depends on the specific grade, temperature, pressure and chemical compatibility requirements.
The temperature range of Klingersil washers depends on the specific grade selected and the application conditions. Some grades are suitable for elevated temperature applications, but the correct material should always be checked against the required media, pressure and operating environment.
Klingersil materials can offer resistance to a wide range of industrial media, but chemical resistance depends on the grade and the specific substance involved. Applications involving aggressive chemicals should be reviewed before manufacture.
Yes. Bluemay Weston manufactures Klingersil washers in both standard and bespoke sizes. Components can be produced to customer drawings, dimensions or samples using punching and water jet cutting techniques.
Klingersil washers are compressed fibre gasket-style components, often selected for sealing applications involving industrial media. Rubber washers are more flexible and elastic, and may be preferred for cushioning, vibration absorption or applications requiring a softer sealing material.
Yes. Bluemay Weston can water jet cut Klingersil washers where required. Water jet cutting can be useful for bespoke profiles, larger sizes, prototype components or applications where dedicated tooling is not suitable.
Bluemay Weston can manufacture Klingersil washers in quantities ranging from prototypes and small development batches through to high-volume production runs of many thousands or millions of components, depending on customer requirements.
