Question 1

What are Rubber Steel Gaskets used for?

Accepted Answer

Rubber Steel Gaskets find common application in petrochemical, oil and gas, power plants and water treatment industries. They are made flexible yet strong enough to serve high pressure and temperature; that is because they consist of rubber and steel combinations that offer a secure and tight seal.

Question 2

What are the advantages of Rubber Steel Gaskets over other gaskets?

Accepted Answer

Rubber Steel Gaskets are superior because they have a dual material construction based on sealing performance. The steel insert brings with it dimension stability, whereas the rubber layer brings elasticity and will adapt to odd surfaces. This makes them very immune to leakages, mechanical pressures, and the frequent alteration of temperature as opposed to the traditional gaskets.

Question 3

How do I select the right Rubber Steel Gasket for my application?

Accepted Answer

Correct choice of Rubber Steel Gasket is made according to operating conditions which are pressure, temperature, and nature of sealed medium. As an example, EPDM coated gaskets may be used with water and steam, whereas NBR or Viton coated gaskets would be suitable in the case of oils and chemicals. The quality of the material used determines a long service life and matching the industry criteria.
