Gaskets: Temperature Range -50°C to 450°C, Thickness 0.5-6.0 mm

Q: What factors determine gasket selection?

Selection depends on operating temperature, pressure, media compatibility, flange surface finish, bolt load, and required sealing performance. Material must resist chemical attack and maintain elasticity under compression.

Q: How do you prevent gasket failure?

Ensure proper surface preparation, correct bolt torque sequence, adequate gasket compression, and material compatibility with operating conditions. Regular inspection for signs of creep, blowout, or chemical degradation is essential.

Component Specifications

Definition

Gaskets are critical sealing components used in flange and holder assemblies to create a static seal between two stationary surfaces. They compensate for surface irregularities, prevent fluid or gas leakage, and maintain pressure integrity in mechanical systems. In industrial applications, they ensure operational safety and efficiency by sealing joints against environmental contaminants and internal media.

Working Principle

Gaskets work by deforming under compressive load to fill microscopic imperfections on mating surfaces, creating a tight seal. The applied bolt load compresses the gasket material, causing it to flow into surface irregularities and form a barrier against fluid or gas passage. Proper gasket selection ensures adequate sealing stress while preventing over-compression that could damage the assembly.

Materials

Common materials include: Non-asbestos fiber (NAF), graphite, PTFE (Teflon), rubber (EPDM, Nitrile, Silicone), metal (stainless steel, copper), and composite materials. Material selection depends on temperature range (-50°C to 1000°C), pressure (vacuum to 300 bar), chemical compatibility, and media type.
