What factors affect gasket performance when that product is utilized in a high-pressure vessel? Think about it for a moment. Imagine a horizontally oriented storage unit and the seals that secure a discharge port or an access hatch. What’s the first thing we notice when these rounded ports come into view? It’s the encircling ring […]
How does the term ‘High-Pressure Vessel’ impact gasket design? For openers, this is an engineering scenario that implies a substantial stress factor. The pressure, if it were to be released, would be dangerously high, perhaps even explosively destructive. If that pressurized fluid is to be reliably contained at each and every vessel seam, capable gasket […]
Synthetic fiber gaskets are imbued with specially tailored properties. A long list of man-made materials fills this category. They resist corrosive fluid attacks from specific acid strains, food types, or chemical compounds. Mechanically sound, the material structure of a calendered synthetic fiber is designed to withstand flange compression extremes and to handle large temperature fluctuations. […]
Few mechanical breakdown events engender as much dread in a car owner’s heart as a blown head gasket. Located between the engine block and the cylinder head compartment, this mechanically-essential seal is responsible for containing the internal combustion process, plus all of those explosively rising and falling cylinder parts. It’s because of these stress factors […]
Strong chemicals will eat into poorly selected gaskets, make no mistake about that. Sure, that joint seal has been designed to handle high temperatures and intense pressures, but the clock is ticking. The deteriorating material will fail. A chemically resistant gasket doesn’t suffer from such issues. It retains its toughened outlines and its sealing duties, […]
