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 […]
Intelligent design practices form the spearhead of any design process. In the case of the various materials used for making gaskets, fabrication development takes its lead from the eventual application. In essence, nothing is set in stone until certain important factors are determined. These client-stipulated specifications cover mechanical operating conditions and thermal factors, plus there’s […]
Gasket fabrication technology produces reams of high-quality joint seals, but they’re not exactly designed to be dimensionally precise. After all, their primary function is to create an unbreakable seal, not to advance some difficult-to-achieve structural ideal. Of course, this idealised form is available, but only compression controlled gaskets can properly foster such accurate outlines when […]
