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 […]
Fluid temperatures and pressures are linearly applied. When that force hits a gasket, it strikes as either positive or negative energy. Vacuum or outward force, steam or cryogenic, the energies rise and fall. Sudden transient forces or cycling effects are a little different, of course, but they still impact system seals as energy. For chemical […]
Gaskets, especially those used on industrial equipment, prevent fluid leaks. The sealing rings are fitted between pipes. They’re also installed between pipes and their fittings. On hoses, in pressure vessels and fuel tanks, on fluid processing equipment, all of these fluid-networked parts require gaskets. To all intents and purposes, the seals are mechanically durable, but […]
