Relied upon to create air-, liquid-, and dust-tight seals between mating components, gaskets are critical for application success. There\u2019s no such thing as a one-size-fits-all solution, however, and the wrong choice may result in subpar performance or complete failure.<\/p>\n
As a leading industrial gasket manufacturer of custom gaskets for demanding uses, Cincinnati Gasket & Industrial Glass understands the importance of optimal sealing solutions. Our team produces gaskets in many sizes, shapes, and materials to meet stringent industry- or client-specific requirements, and they\u2019re happy to help you select the right one for your application.<\/p>\n
Put simply, gaskets are components that sit between two surfaces. When installed correctly, they create seals that keep gases, fluids, particulates, and other media from leaking out or getting in during operation. Depending on the application and materials from which they\u2019re made, other advantages include:<\/p>\n
Also called o-rings, washers, or just seals, these components can be manufactured from metal, plastic, rubber, and felt, just to name a few. Exact performance characteristics vary by the material type used as well as design shape and size.<\/p>\n
No two applications are identical. For example, food and beverage processing lines have different operating parameters than consumer products. Many characteristics should be considered when it comes to gasket selection.<\/p>\n
Extreme temperatures can affect material sealing properties, maximum allowable stress, and overall performance. Gaskets must withstand the pressure exerted on them, too. If pressures are too significant, failure will likely occur. There are many different flanges or fittings, which can vary by country and industry. Understanding the type and surface finish can help you pick the right gasket.<\/p>\n
An assembly or process is only as strong as the components from which it\u2019s made. Gaskets are manufactured from a variety of materials, and each one has unique performance characteristics.<\/p>\n
Plastic<\/strong><\/p>\n Plastic comes in many formulations, making achieving optimal performance characteristics easy. Generally speaking, plastic offers good durability and corrosion resistance at an affordable price. It\u2019s lightweight, mitigates, and offers good sealing and insulation properties.<\/p>\n Rubber<\/strong><\/p>\n One of the most common gasket materials, rubber can bend, stretch and be formed into many shapes. Many formulations are available, and they can withstand moisture, chemicals, extreme temperatures, and other environments.<\/p>\n Cork<\/strong><\/p>\n Cork has been used as a sealing material for centuries. As a gasket material, its closed-cell structure provides superb resilience at a low weight. The material can shrink to around half its thickness when a load is applied but still recover when removed. It also resists water, many oils, and ozone.<\/p>\n Felt<\/strong><\/p>\n Another common gasket material is felt. Made from natural or synthetic materials, it resists tearing and fraying. A dense structure provides superior acoustical resilience, making it perfect for sound, architectural, and decorative purposes.<\/p>\n Sponge And Foam<\/strong><\/p>\n These flexible materials are highly effective at thermal and acoustic insulation, shock absorption, and vibration control. They\u2019re also suitable for sealing out dust and moisture.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re in the market for gaskets but aren\u2019t sure which material is best, please get in touch with the Cincinnati Gasket & Industrial Glass team.
