Study the Configurations and Applications of
Gasket

• Gasket failure will happen if you do not address
  issues like uneven pressures on mating surfaces,
  loss of torque on securing bolts and uneven
  temperature. 
• Hence, it is advised to get all the detailed
  information about the gaskets future
  environment.
• In other words, you are expected to study the
  temperature, fluid pressure and the corrosive
  properties of the liquid. 
• After your study, you can go forward to select
  the gasket of proper material and shape.

3
Select the Proper Material

• Selecting the material for the gasket is the next
  step after you have decided the future
  environment of gasket working.
• Elastomeric, Metallic and Non-metallic are the
  main materials used in the manufacturing of
  gaskets.
• Elastomeric gaskets are incompressible,
  extensible and elastic in nature.
• Soft Gaskets can be easily compressed under a low
  bold load.
• Metallic gaskets are prepared from combination of
  metals and are available in various shapes and
  sizes. 

4
Analyse Chemical Resistance

• Evaluate the level of chemical resistance your
  gasket will need because the corrosive properties
  in the fluid play an important role. 
• For e.g. NBR i.e. Nitrile Rubber is resistant to
  oil but not useful with oxidizing fluids.

5
 Test the Gasket Performance

• Testing the performance of gasket is necessary to
  ensure that your gasket meets all the
  specifications required by your application. 
• You can test your gasket performance by using
  methods like hot compression test, creep
  relaxation testing etc.
• This will help you to know if your gasket has the
  capacity to withstand temperature, compression,
  pressure, and resistance to chemical degradation.

6
Choose the Right Gasket Manufacturer

• This is a very important step for your business. 
• You should not go for a gasket maker if he only
  sells you the gasket and walks away. 
• Instead, you can hire a Gasket Manufacturerlike
  Wye Valley Precision Engineering which will help
  you in selecting the right type of gaskets based
  on your business requirements.
• Their staff is trained and is ready to assist you
  in selection along with providing technical data
  which will help you to take the right decision.
