A correctly selected gasket performs as a key mechano-elastic component in all sorts of industrial applications. Selected according to the following factors, that sealing element absolutely prevents fluid leakage. No matter the pressure, the temperature, or toxicity of that fluid, the properly selected and installed gasket endures. Of course, if we’re to properly establish sealing […]
Cracking and drying problems trouble certain elastomeric gaskets. The affliction occurs when the seal dries, becomes brittle, and the material develops hairline fissures. It’s patently obvious here, as these cracks spread, that the gasket has been rendered less than reliable. Unless action is taken, a conveyed fluid will discover the tiny channels and there will […]
Let’s hone in on a specific case study, a threat profile that shows how overheating and extreme temperatures can affect gasket performance. Yes, in the long run, different mechanical sealing families are fabricated from advanced materials, and they’re designed to handle compressive forces while faithfully confining corrosive fluids, but what happens when that fluid is […]
Gaskets are among the hardiest of products, so why not reuse an old one if it’s doing nothing else? It’s a tempting proposition, especially since these seals are fabricated from indefatigable materials. But doesn’t it make more sense to spend a few dollars on a replacement? The answer to that important question isn’t quite as […]
Proactive design methodologies manufacture gaskets from specially selected materials when chemical resistance is a major issue. Step back from the pipes and storage containers for a minute to see why this design principle is so important. Caustic compounds are coursing through these metal channels. They react aggressively with certain materials. How does a chemical resistance […]
