Manufacturing Process of Non Asbestos Gaskets

Image
The manufacturing process of non asbestos gaskets can vary depending on the specific types of gaskets and the materials being used. The manufacturing process of non-asbestos gaskets typically involves the following steps: Material selection Non-asbestos gaskets are made from a combination of synthetic fibers, fillers, and elastomers. The specific materials used may vary depending on the application and requirements of the gasket. Mixing The selected materials are mixed together in precise proportions. The mixing process ensures uniform distribution of the fibers and fillers throughout the mixture. Gasket Sheet formation The mixed material is then formed into sheets using a combination of heat, pressure, and sometimes extrusion. The sheets are typically formed to a specific thickness, width, and length. Cutting The gasket sheets are cut into the desired shape and size. This can be done using various methods such as die-cutting, water jet cutting, or laser cutting. The cu...

What is a Gasket: How does a Gasket function?

An industrial gasket is a mechanical sealing device that is used to fill the gap or space between two or more mating surfaces. It is typically made of a compressible material, such as rubber, silicone, metal, or a combination of materials, and is designed to prevent leakage of fluids or gases under various operating conditions. The primary function of an industrial gasket is to create a reliable and durable seal between two surfaces, ensuring that there is no leakage or seepage of fluids or gases. When two surfaces are bolted or joined together, the gasket is placed between them. When the bolts or fasteners are tightened, the gasket is compressed, and it fills any irregularities or imperfections on the mating surfaces, creating a tight and secure seal. The compression of the gasket causes it to conform to the shape of the mating surfaces, effectively sealing the joint and preventing the escape or entry of fluids or gases. The choice of gasket material depends on the specific applic...
