Gasket Sheets in Practice: How to Ensure Long-Term Sealing?

Gasket Sheets in Practice: How to Ensure Long-Term Sealing?

Here's what to pay attention to 👇

1️⃣ Selecting the Right Material

The most important factors influencing the durability of a seal are:
🌡 Temperature,
🔧 Operating pressure,
💧 Type of medium,
🧩 Design of the flange-bolt connection.
Additionally, consider: heating and cooling cycles 🔁, mechanical vibrations ⚙️, installation quality 🛠, and the technical condition of the flange surfaces 🔍.

2️⃣ Basic Condition for Stable Operation

✅ The parallel alignment of sealing surfaces and their proper finish are key to durability and reliability during operation.

3️⃣ Gasket Installation

🔩 We recommend using a torque wrench to achieve the appropriate gasket stress.
If a torque wrench is unavailable, control the gasket thickness after installation – it should decrease by 8–10% ⏬.

4️⃣ Gambit Gasket Sheets

👉 GAMBIT sheets are composites made from top-quality raw materials sourced from renowned manufacturers.
The combination of rubber elasticity, fiber strength, and dedicated fillers allows our products to perform even under extreme temperatures 🔥.

5️⃣ Compressibility and elastic recovery

📈 Even above 200°C, our sheets based on Kevlar® aramid fibres and fillers bound with NBR rubber retain their compressibility and elastic recovery, compensating for the thermal expansion of joint components.

➡️ REMEMBER:
A properly designed flange-bolt connection + a correctly selected and installed gasket =
A guarantee of durability and reliability. 🛡️
