When you are looking for the perfect product for Kammprofile Gaskets and sealing applications, please keep the following in mind:

　　Heat resistance-Be sure to check with your supplier for the heat resistance of the gasket material. The gasket you choose should be able to withstand the temperatures used in your process. Different gasket materials support different degrees. For example, neoprene gaskets can support any temperature between -35° and 225°, while Garlock Nylon PTFE gaskets can work effectively between -450° and 500°.

　　Environmental resistance-Ask whether the gasket you choose supports the health of the environment (gas, liquid, air, pressure, etc.) related to your application. EPDM or ethylene propylene diene monomer is a synthetic rubber with exceptional elasticity, suitable for almost all environments. Talk to your internal engineer or external gasket supplier to see if EPDM gaskets are suitable for your application.

　　Pressure resistance-You also need to know how much pressure the gasket material you are evaluating can withstand. The gasket should be hard enough to withstand the load applied by the mating surface. It also requires compression and pressure testing by a trusted laboratory.

　　Have measurements on hand-usually, gaskets cannot form a perfect seal simply because they are not the correct size. If there is no perfect seal, they will not work properly. To ensure that you do not make such common mistakes, please prepare your measurement data in advance and keep them handy when shopping. In order to obtain the best results when preparing to measure and select gaskets, please seek dimensional advice from your process engineer.

　　Consider material properties-as we mentioned before, gaskets are available in a variety of materials, from thermoplastic rubber to fiber. Please note that all gasket materials are suitable for all industrial applications. Some processes use extreme temperatures, some devices require shock resistance, and many require rock-solid joints. Different materials bring different benefits; therefore, the material of the gasket should be carefully considered when choosing.

　　Determine chemical resistance-Metal and Kammprofile Gaskets can be used for heavy-duty applications. Although gaskets made of these materials can provide excellent seals for difficult and burdensome industrial processes, they may not be suitable for processes involving acidic or alkaline solutions. It is important to test the chemical resistance of related materials. Match the chemical resistance of the gasket material to the severity of the chemicals in the process fluid. Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is one such material, which has strong resistance to fluids with a pH value of 0 to 14. However, this material may not be ideal for certain heavy-duty applications.

　　Perform or require performance testing-Another important task in evaluating gaskets is to test the performance of each industrial gasket. This step is essential to ensure that the gasket you choose for your application is most suitable. Some of the tests that should be performed include hot compression and cold compression, as well as creep relaxation tests. These tests can help you determine the temperature, pressure, and resistance of the gasket.
