Acids and oils course like water through wide channels. And although the compounds aren’t as toxic as those found interred inside chemical processing plants, that doesn’t mean they can’t eat their way through a rubber gasket. That’s why the food industry can’t operate for long without food grade gaskets. Anything less, well, those corrosive fluids […]
If a smaller O-Ring gasket ends up in the beefy hands of an installer, it’s hard to ignore that slight form. How can this seemingly trivial system component ever hope to provide sealing strength? Well, for starters, this sealing component has more geometry than a conventional gasket. It’s shaped like an emaciated doughnut, but looks […]
A pause in the narrative is on the cards, at least for this post, while we tender a structured engineering guide. Intended to function as a gasket material and application guide, the following article will list, in alphabetical order, many popular and not so popular gasketing materials and their roles in different applications. After each […]
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, […]
