Shifts toward environmentally friendly solutions will necessitate careful planning.
Gaskets
How reverse engineering technology can enhance reliability and minimize downtime.
Avoid leaking by selecting the right material for the application.
Compare gasket mechanical behavior from subambient to elevated temperatures.
Select the right expansion joint for your coal-fired power station.
Expansion of refinery capacity foreseen to strengthen demand for the component.
Learn why updates are needed for API test standard 607 and stay tuned for more.
Enhancing the surface profile can improve sealing capabilities, extending the functionality of aging piping systems in chemical plants.
How this feature can improve performance and efficiency.
Low torqueing loads, inadequate equipment selection or faulty installation could be to blame.
How to clean, align, install, lubricate and tighten gaskets for ideal results.
Although the traditional application is as a bearing surface, the technology is suitable for a seal face surface in pumps.
Externally pressurized porous gas bearings are being applied in seal applications for rotating equipment.
An important first step in the process is asking the question "Why do I need or want to change my gaskets?"
Gasket information and the tests used to generate it can help users make the best possible equipment selections.
Users must understand the characteristics of their equipment—including seating surface, gasket load curves and manufacturing methods—to reduce the risk of leaks.
