Which Is the Most Popular Semi-Metallic Gasket?

Semi-Metallic Gasket

Spiral Wound Gaskets are the most used semi-metallic Gaskets for high pressure joints. Depending on the flange type and application, a wide variety of configurations of the Spiral Wound Gasket can be used.

PTFE benefits

Most of the world know PTFE as the trademark name, Teflon, which is a non-stick coating on cookware such as non-stick pans. But uses for PTFE and the applications it plays into goes much further than just cookware.

Grooved Metal Gaskets with Covering Layers

Grooved Metal Gaskets

Grooved gaskets have proved themselves in all industrial applications.

Jacketed Gaskets for Piping

Jacketed Gaskets

Metal Jacketed Gaskets, as the name suggests, consist of a metallic outer shell with either a metallic or nonmetallic compressed fiber filler. The filler material gives the gasket resilience while the metal jacket protects the filler and resists pressures, temperatures and corrosion.

PTFE in Precision Mechanics

PTFE in Precision Mechanics

PTFE was discovered accidentally by Roy J. Plunkett at the DuPont Company's Jackson Laboratory in 1938, during an attempt to manufacture a chlorofluorocarbon for use as refrigerant for the compression cycles.

How are the disadvantages of Teflon Gaskets minimized?

Teflon Gaskets

In order to overcome some of the setbacks of the solid polymerized Teflon, gaskets have been produced to take advantage of the resilience of asbestos, rubber and other like materials.

Properties of PTFE

Properties of PTFE

The main properties of PTFE, which define its key areas of application include:

High melting point and enhanced mechanical strength.

Fine mechanics and sectors of development

Fine mechanics

Precision mechanics (also known as "fine mechanics") is an engineering subject that talks about the design and building of smaller precision machines, often made up of measuring and controlling apparatus of different types.

Why Are Style RX Joint Gaskets Not Used As Much As Style R?

RX Gasket

First of all, Style RX is a pressure energized adaptation of the standard style or Gasket. The RX is designed to fit the same groove design as a standard style R, making the joints interchangeable.

Using PTFE in Manufacturing

PTFE has lower coefficient of friction and it is for this reason that PTFE washers are commonly used to assemble sections of moving parts in machines. This is because it reduces or eliminates lubrication costs and deterioration of various machine parts as a result of friction.
