Rubber Gasket Seals in Electronic Assemblies: What are they?
When sophisticated electronic modules are housed in dry control rooms, we know the gear is safe. Of course, sensitive circuits do exist outside of this refuge. It’s this scenario that...
Three Common Types of Flange Face Gaskets (Flat Faces, Raised Face Flanges, Ring-Type Joint Faces)
Gasket design can’t be limited by a generic shape, not when flange outlines muddy the waters by diverging in form. There are currently three common faces that require specialised flange...
Common Causes of Gasket Failure
If flanges mechanically fasten sections of pipe together, traditionally by employing sets of stubby bolts, then gaskets are the leak-guarding inserts that make sure the two mating surfaces are fluid-proof....
Gasket Material Traceability: Definition and Importance
Most engineering labels submit to a little common sense. We can even take shortcuts by splitting the term up and tackling each word, one at a time. That’s not going...
What are Elastometric Gaskets?
Over the years, tough operating environments have challenged our engineers by introducing more pressure variables and higher temperatures. Mechanical assemblies use strong alloys and smart designs to deal with these...
Most Common Raw Materials Used in Gaskets
A handful of flow-determining characteristics guides the production of gaskets. Firstly, they’re fabricated to conform to a specified geometrical outline. Now, while the shape of each sealing product is an...
Applications of Gaskets and Sealing Washers
The use of mechanical equipment is rarely a dry affair. We all know of a machine that pushes volumes of liquid or gas, know about fuel pumps and water sump...
