Gasket Sheets
In previous times the gasket sheet material was compressed asbestos, but in modern times a fibrous material such as high temp graphite, mica, aramide fibers, elastomers and other materials are used.
The gaskets made of the above gasket sheet materials can fill many chemical requirements based on the inertness of the material used and fit many budgetary restraints.
The gasket sheet selection is crucial to the sealing properties of the gasket depending on the huge range of working conditions in the industry.
Therefore the maintenance engineers and designers should know very good for what purpose exactly will be used each gasket sheet - for their particular application.
Common practice is to select gasket sheets depending on the working conditions as temperature, medium and pressure. Below you can find our wide range of gasket sheets which we usually have on stock, divided in multiple types depending on the application, by manufacturers, by approvals etc.
What materials are commonly used in modern gasket sheets?
In modern gasket sheets, materials such as high temp graphite, mica, aramide fibers, and elastomers are commonly used. These materials have replaced the older compressed asbestos, meeting various chemical and thermal resistance requirements while adhering to safety standards.
How do I choose the right gasket sheet for my application?
Choosing the right gasket sheet involves considering several factors including the chemical compatibility of the gasket material with the substances it will encounter, the temperature and pressure conditions it must withstand, and any budgetary constraints. It is crucial to select a gasket sheet that meets the specific requirements of your application to ensure effective sealing and prevent leaks.
Can gasket sheets be used in high-temperature applications?
Yes, gasket sheets made from high temp graphite and other heat-resistant materials are specifically designed for high-temperature applications. These materials maintain their integrity and sealing capabilities under extreme conditions, making them suitable for use in industrial processes that involve elevated temperatures.
