Helium cylinders are used in ordinary applications. For instance, florists use helium to fill their balloons. Far and above such mundane practices, the lighter-than-air gas has become an industry-essential substance. And that’s where the problems begin, for helium molecules have a talent for penetrating high-quality seals. Consequently, if a pipe or fitting seal is to […]
Numerically based literacy is applied when selecting a gasket. An engineer runs a finger down a list, finds the results of the scan pleasing, and the decision is made. Interestingly, gasket parameters are also stored in graphical formats. On graphs, two axial lines cross. A curve intersects. It creates a picture of a seal’s mechanical […]
Gasket leaks can cause problematic fugitive emissions. These escaping gasses or vapours then go on to contribute to a worldwide challenge. They worsen the state of already contentious local air pollution problems. Rising higher, the emissions participate in a globally consequential, environmentally-damaging state of affairs. The planet Earth suffers as its blanketing atmosphere fills with […]
In an ideal world, an engineer would select an overly thickened gasket. Then the flange bolts would tighten until even the slightest leak pathway was filled by the incredibly compressed material. That’s not a real-world option, not when there are physical constraints to evaluate. For starters, all of that flange pressure, as applied by the […]
For any given sealing application, the correct gasket material and flange type are picked by an informed engineer. A fluid-suitable material is high on the features shortlist, for the gasket has to resist heat and chemical attacks. A tough seal structure comes next. It needs to be mechanically tough so that it can withstand great […]
