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 gaskets have proved themselves in all industrial applications.
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 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.
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.
The main properties of PTFE, which define its key areas of application include:
High melting point and enhanced mechanical strength.
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.
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.
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.
