In industrial manufacturing and daily life, rubber gaskets play an indispensable role, they are like patron saints, silently guarding the tightness of equipment and systems, preventing the leakage of liquid, gas or solid particles. Today, let's walk into the world of rubber gasket installation and reveal the key requirements to ensure excellent sealing effect!
1. Precise selection, fit for king
Material matching: First, the appropriate rubber material should be selected according to the application scenario (such as temperature, pressure, media, etc.). Different rubber types have different resistance to chemical substances, heat and cold resistance, such as nitrile rubber has good oil resistance, fluorine rubber has strong high temperature and corrosion resistance.
Accurate size: the size of the sealing gasket must perfectly match the size of the sealing surface, too large or too small will affect the sealing effect, and even lead to installation failure.
2. Clean surface, no dirt and dirt
Before installation, be sure to thoroughly clean the sealed surface to remove impurities such as oil, dust and rust. These pollutants will destroy the bonding or compression performance of the sealing gasket and affect the sealing effect.
Use the appropriate cleaning agent and ensure that it is dry before installing.
3. Correct installation, moderate strength
Uniform pressure: When installing, it should be ensured that the sealing gasket is evenly stressed to avoid local too tight or too loose, which helps to form a uniform sealing line.
Avoid distortion: During installation, the sealing gasket should be prevented from twisting or deforming, which may lead to seal failure.
Alignment marks: Some sealing gaskets have installation marks or direction requirements. Install them in strict accordance with the instructions.
4. Proper lubrication to reduce friction
In some cases, applying the right amount of lubricant can reduce the friction between the sealing gasket and the sealed surface, facilitate installation, and also help extend the service life of the sealing gasket. However, it should be noted that the choice of lubricant should be compatible with the sealing gasket and the medium.
5. Regular inspection and timely maintenance
After the installation is completed, the status of the sealing gasket should be checked regularly to observe whether there is leakage, aging, wear and other phenomena.
Find the problem in time to deal with, if necessary, replace the new sealing gasket, so as to avoid small problems lead to major failures.

Although the installation of rubber gaskets seems simple, it contains many details and requirements. Only by strictly following the above requirements can we ensure the long-term and reliable sealing effect. I hope today's sharing can make you have a deeper understanding of the installation of rubber gaskets, and bring more convenience and peace of mind to your work and life!
