Whether you are working with automobiles or plumbing components, it is important to have the proper gaskets on hand for your project. Finding gaskets to buy can be as simple as heading to your favourite search engine. With that being said, you won’t find quality gaskets without going to a reputable gasket manufacturer. The big […]
Heavy-duty industrial piping systems require equally robust gaskets, so says engineering science. Look deep, the larger than life tubular conduits are conveying higher volumes, which are held at stunningly high pressures. Meanwhile, acids and harsh chemicals are attacking the pipe seals. To keep these forces safely in check, an aptitude for optimizing a chosen gasket, […]
Expanded PTFE, also known as ePTFE, is a compressible gasketing material. During production, it’s stretched into sheets, with heat acting as a form expansion facilitator. The process endows the sheets with a tightly organized microstructure, a synthetic fluoropolymer base that’s a lot stronger than it looks. Used as a purpose-designed gasketing solution, the microscopic voids […]
The best synthetic gasketing materials have plenty of company. They’re originally manufactured as single-solution rubbers and plastics, but then the chemist gets into a fine-tuning “groove.” Before long, different variants are keeping the original product company. And so it is with Viton “A,” a fluoropolymer-based synthetic elastomer. A core member of the main Viton product […]
Clear differences divide gaskets and conventional washers. The former item uses strong materials to mechanically seal flanges. As for the latter item, washers are typically used to spread fastener loads and to counteract vibrations. That’s good to know, except sealing washers, the subject of this post, don’t quite fit into that latter category. No, this […]
