What Compressed Sheet Gaskets Offer
Compressed sheet gaskets create durable, flexible seals that perform reliably across a broad range of pressures, temperatures, and chemical exposures.
Gaskets can be die-cut into various sizes and shapes. Special fillers can also be added to enhance specific properties, making them ideal for applications where both sealing integrity and chemical compatibility are crucial.
Features & Benefits
- Wide Temperature and Pressure Range: Suitable for temperatures from -100°F to 1,832°F (-75°C to 1,000°C) and pressures up to 2,000 psi (138 bar), ensuring reliability in extreme conditions.
- Chemical Compatibility: Available in a variety of binders and fillers to enhance resistance to different chemical media.
- Customizable Designs: Die-cut to standard ASME B16.5 flanges or custom shapes and sizes, including full-face or pipe flange gaskets.
Potential Applications & Industries
Compressed sheet gaskets are ideal for use in high-pressure and high-temperature environments. Their versatility makes them suitable for a wide array of applications, including sealing pipes, valves, and heat exchangers.
These gaskets are widely used in industries like chemical processing, oil and gas, water treatment, transportation, food and beverage, pulp and paper, and nuclear power. In each of these fields, compressed sheet gaskets provide durable, long-lasting seals that ensure operational reliability and minimize downtime.
Design Specifics & How The Product Works
Compressed sheet gaskets are made from a blend of organic or inorganic fibers and rubber, providing a robust, flexible seal. They’re highly customizable, available in various thicknesses, and can be die-cut to fit standard flanges or custom sizes.
What Makes Compressed Sheet Gaskets So Effective? Compressed sheet gaskets are highly effective due to their unique composition of organic or inorganic fibers combined with rubber, which provides both strength and flexibility. The material’s combination of fibers and rubber ensures tight seals in environments that would challenge other gasket materials. This design allows the gaskets to withstand extreme pressures, temperatures, and chemical exposures, ensuring a reliable seal in even the harshest environments.
Their ability to be customized with various fillers enhances their chemical compatibility, making them an ideal solution for demanding applications.
