Compressed Fibre Sheet Gaskets (Non-Asbestos Gasket)
In a market survey of End Users and Distributors, gasket universality was cited as the third most important characteristic above price, availability and source. Too many types of gaskets/gasket material were cited as a significant challenge faced by those surveyed. End user concerns centred on less experienced contract workers installing the wrong gasket in the wrong application. Distributors listed sheet utilization and reduced stocking levels as an advantage to sheet product universality. Compressed Fibre Sheet Gaskets will reduce inventory and choice reduction maximizing performance and compatibility while still achieving cost effectiveness.
- No more gasket failures caused by installing the wrong gasket
- Simplify materials on the shelf
The Compressed Fibre Sheet Gaskets product ranges are rubber bound, fibre reinforced sheets made by the traditional calendaring or sheeted process. A wide range of fibre types are used, often in combination, ranging from cellulose, rock wool and glass to aramid and carbon.
Soft cut gaskets are typically used in Class 150 or Class 300 flanges. The temperature capability of the fibre / rubber products is highly thickness dependent, with thin gaskets having a wider service envelope than thicker ones.
MOC Types : Synthetic / NBR, Aramid / SBR & Aramid/Glass/NBR
