What material is good for the gasket used in the connection flanges of equipment cylinders?
Thread Content
Everyone, let’s discuss this: For equipment, especially columns or the shells of heat exchangers, which are connected in sections, what material would be suitable for the gaskets used at the connection flanges? The material should provide reliable sealing, resist high temperatures as well as acids and alkalis, and at the same time be inexpensive. If the equipment is made of fiberglass, what material is suitable for gaskets?
This requires a detailed analysis of the temperature and pressure of the medium inside the equipment, as well as consideration of its physical and chemical properties; it cannot be generalized. Generally, nitrile rubber is used for resistance to acids and alkalis: D
It is related to both temperature and pressure as well as the medium; specific cases need to be analyzed individually
Hehe, this discussion topic is too broad!
