RUBBER GASKET FLANGE
RUBBER GASKET FLANGE
gasket is a material or composite of some material flanked between two separable mechanical connections. The main function of gaskets is to prevent leakage over ..a period of time.Used gaskets should be able to avoid leaks in their use, resistant to protected parts and can withstand extremely high operating pressure and temperature. In practice, the gaskets and joints must work together. Therefore, the system should be studied in an integrative manner to determine its sealability. In use gaskets are usually used in flange connections to connect various pipes or other connections such as the gaskets used in motor fuel. Replacement of gaskets is usually done on the basis of the length of time that can be stated in hours or hours of operation. Can also replacement gaskets made after the gasket connection leaked. In fact very rarely do trials on the strength of the gaskets before use.Gasket making material [edit | Edit source]Copper gaskets. Racing mechanics, it is common to use copper gaskets. Copper material has a more flexible nature. When pressed by the block and cylinder head, able to follow the form of a pressing surface. So it can be more tightly in the sealing leak,In general, the basic material of gaskets there are three types, namely metal, non-metal and half metal. Metal gaskets are made of copper, aluminum or brass. Non-metal gaskets are usually made of asbestos, rubber, paper, hemp, leather, cork and ceramics. Usually as a seal between the nonmetal components of gaskets used using the basic materials of asbestos, rubber and paper. For semi-metal material is usually a combination of metal and non-metal.PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) Material: PTFE gasket or Teflon gasket is the most widely known gasket, because it is multi functional. Teflon has good resistance to various chemicals, including hydrogen peroxide.EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (M-class) rubber) Material: Gasket with EPDM material resistant to ozone, Ultra Violet rays, natural oils and various types of chemicals.
