When purchasing sealing gaskets, you need to pay attention to the following key issues:
Media compatibility:
Ensure that the selected gasket material can withstand the corrosion and erosion of the working medium (such as oil, water, chemicals, etc.). Different media may require different materials, such as graphite, rubber, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), etc.
Temperature adaptability:
Select a gasket material that will maintain its performance at the expected operating temperature. Some materials may become brittle or soften at high or low temperatures, affecting the sealing effect.
Pressure level:
Verify that the gasket can withstand the expected working pressure. High-pressure environments require tougher materials, such as metal gaskets or specially reinforced composite gaskets.
Sealing surface condition:
Check the flatness and cleanliness of the sealing surface to ensure that there are no scratches, pits or other defects in the sealing surface. The gasket should be able to fit closely with the sealing surface to form an effective seal.
Size matching:
Precisely measure the required dimensions (inside, outside, thickness, etc.) of the gasket to ensure that it matches the dimensions of the flange or connecting parts. Size mismatches can lead to leaks or installation difficulties.
Hardness and elasticity:
Select the right hardness and elasticity for your application. A gasket that is too soft may deform excessively under pressure, while a gasket that is too hard may not seal effectively.
Environmental Conditions:
Consider the special requirements of the working environment, such as whether there is vibration, shock, radiation, etc., choose the corresponding environmental resistance gasket material.
Installation and maintenance:
Choose a type of gasket that is easy to install and maintain. Some gaskets may require specific installation tools or techniques to ensure easy and reliable operation.
Supplier reputation:
Choose reputable, reliable quality suppliers to ensure that the purchased gaskets comply with relevant standards and specifications.
Cost effectiveness:
Under the premise of meeting the performance requirements, consider cost effectiveness, and choose cost-effective gasket materials and types.
By considering the above factors, you can choose the most suitable for the specific application of the sealing gasket, to ensure the safety and reliability of the system.
