Customised Gaskets: What Are The Most Common Requirements?
29 July 2016
Regular geometrical shapes dictate conventional gasket design. We see them fabricated as circular and ovoid seals, the strong rubberized inserts that complete the meeting of two regular surfaces. Of course, there are situations where such sealing strategies fall short. These specialised applications call for made-to-measure solutions, which is where customised gaskets enter the project as […]

Rubber Gasket Seals in Electronic Assemblies: What are they?
19 July 2016
When sophisticated electronic modules are housed in dry control rooms, we know the gear is safe. Of course, sensitive circuits do exist outside of this refuge. It’s this scenario that causes our designers concern, for microchips can’t abide harsh environments. Thankfully, we can reinforce plainly fastened electronic’s housings with rubber gasket seals in electronic assemblies. […]

Three Common Types of Flange Face Gaskets (Flat Faces, Raised Face Flanges, Ring-Type Joint Faces)
30 June 2016
Gasket design can’t be limited by a generic shape, not when flange outlines muddy the waters by diverging in form. There are currently three common faces that require specialised flange face gaskets, of which we’ll begin with the basic flat faces family. After chronicling the planar profile, we’ll hop across to raised face flanges. Finally, […]

Common Causes of Gasket Failure
21 June 2016
If flanges mechanically fasten sections of pipe together, traditionally by employing sets of stubby bolts, then gaskets are the leak-guarding inserts that make sure the two mating surfaces are fluid-proof. Of course, secure as this fastening configuration is, we’re still looking at discrete parts, and isolated parts are leak-susceptible. Let’s reinforce our understanding of this […]

Gasket Material Traceability: Definition and Importance
31 May 2016
Most engineering labels submit to a little common sense. We can even take shortcuts by splitting the term up and tackling each word, one at a time. That’s not going to work here, unfortunately, so let’s get to the meat of the matter and skip the preamble; gasket material traceability isn’t a phrase that will […]
