Silicone tower issue
Thread Content
Are silicone towers demanding in terms of sealing requirements? Are there any standard requirements? Newbie asking for advice! Thank you first
Dear Haiyou, due to the chemical and physical properties of silicone products, it is necessary for the various towers used in silicone production processes (such as distillation towers and stripping towers) to operate under highly sealed conditions; moreover, the pressure at the top of these towers is slightly positive.
Are there clear specifications for the sealing grade?
Hi, the sealing grade of a distillation tower is related to the process requirements as well as to the design of chemical processing equipment. At the same time, there are also connections with related fields such as safety and environmental protection. If you want to learn more in detail, you can refer to books such as \"Chemical Equipment Design – Distillation Columns\".
Like all chemical processing units, silicone towers must undergo hydraulic and airtightness tests in accordance with relevant chemical industry standards. The specific test pressure level is determined based on the design pressure and operating pressure of the tower.
Most of the monomers in silicones are flammable and explosive; therefore, strict sealing is necessary
