Rubber-steel Flange Gaskets

Rubber-steel gaskets have amassed a wide range of applications in sealing technology. Wherever the secure sealing of media with an exceptionally low leak rate, as well as low bolt loads at relatively low temperatures is required, rubber-steel gaskets provide the optimal solution.The steel support ring prevents a blow out of the gasket and increases stability, allowing the rubber-steel gasket to be handled easily, even in difficult fitting conditions.The rubber sealing material ensures a secure seal is created, even in uneven locations, as it has an excellent ability to adapt to sealing surfaces.

What is the PTFE Packing with Kynol Fiber Corners？

In harsh industrial environments, standard packing materials often struggle to maintain reliable sealing. PTFE offers excellent chemical resistance and low friction but lacks mechanical strength and high-temperature stability. Aramid fibers provide strength but may not withstand extreme heat or certain aggressive media.

About HDPE Sheet

HDPE sheet is extremely strong against impact, abrasion resistant, and exhibits a low coefficient of friction. The material is also moisture, stain, and odor resistant, and is FDA approved for use in the food processing industry (mainly for cutting boards). The material's durability makes it a perfect match for a variety of applications such as water tanks, chute linings, bottle/bottle cap production and numerous other industrial uses. Borated HDPE offers radiation protection in nuclear facility applications.

Silicone Rubber Sheet

Silicone rubber sheets are sheet-like elastomeric polymer materials produced by compounding silicone rubber with reinforcing agents, vulcanizing agents, and additives, followed by calendering or extrusion and high-temperature vulcanization molding. Classified as a specialty synthetic rubber product, they combine the temperature resistance of silicone with the high elasticity of rubber; they are available in standard thicknesses ranging from 0.1 mm to 50 mm and come in various forms, such as solid-color, fabric-reinforced, foam, and conductive types.

9 Common Mistakes in Valve Installation

Those unfamiliar with valves might assume that installation is a trivial task; however, the reality is quite the opposite—valve installation requires great care and attention to detail. Below is a brief overview of nine common mistakes made during valve installation:

About PTFE Gasket

PTFE has excellent dielectric properties and provides excellent thermal insulation properties, and the operating temperature range is -400°F to 500°F. PTFE is the most chemically resistant plastic known and is not affected by most corrosive liquids, vapours and gases. PTFE is usually offered in thicknesses ranging from .002″ to .250″ and meets FDA and AMS specifications, making it acceptable for the medical and food production industries.
