Clear differences divide gaskets and conventional washers. The former item uses strong materials to mechanically seal flanges. As for the latter item, washers are typically used to spread fastener loads and to counteract vibrations. That’s good to know, except sealing washers, the subject of this post, don’t quite fit into that latter category. No, this […]
Vulcanized materials are exposed to high-temperatures and special additives. Essentially, these curatives function as cellulose binding agents. In gasket processing, the process adds tensile strength to the hard, durable rings, plus mechanical resistance. The treated gaskets endure when strong compressive forces are applied, and they’re equipped to deal with material damaging abrasive actions. Let’s look […]
Caustic chemicals cause strong materials to smoke and sizzle. Even vulnerable metals experience fatigue and corrosion when a particularly concentrated alkali or acid attacks. If corrosive chemicals can eat durable metals, what chance does a gasket stand of enduring such an attack? To answer that question, read on and learn about the specialized sealing materials […]
This gasket family is commonly referred to under its truncated label, CNAF. In its entirety, Compressed Non-Asbestos Fibre materials are exactly that, a gasket type that doesn’t rely on an asbestos base. However, the easily classifiable materials list ends right there, for this is an umbrella term. Many different fibre types and binder groups occupy […]
A nation’s welfare relies on the strength of its infrastructure. Sure, the modern conveniences are important, but electrical currents aren’t vital, not in the same way as a clean water supply. Water supports life while waste disposal networks remove dirty sewage. Keep these infrastructural consequences firmly in mind now as we evaluate the common gasket […]
