Rubbers or Elastomers are mixed with various chemicals in order to provide the reinforcement and curing ingredients required to produce the physical properties necessary for the service conditions. A wide choice of basic polymers (elastomers) is available, and some of these elastomers can be...

Graphite is anisotropic- Due to its crystalline structure, flexible graphite exhibits anisotropic characteristics with physical properties such as electrical and thermal conductivity and tensile strength. Graphite is resilient and compressible - Flexible graphite recovers after compression...

SpiralWound Gaskets are made with an alternating combination of formed metal wire and soft filler materials. They form an effective seal when compressed between two flanges. A V-shaped crown centered in the metal strip acts as a spring, giving gaskets greater resiliency under varying conditions....

A Belleville Spring, also called Disc Spring or Conical Compression Washers, is a conical shaped disc that will deflect (flatten) at a given rate. This allows the spring to produce very large loads in a very small place. These springs offer high loads with small deflections and self-damping. They...

Originally asbestos fibers were mainly used because of their fire resistance and chemical compatibility; in the 1980's because of government restrictions other fibers such as aramid, acrylic, carbon, graphite and other mineral fibers have replaced asbestos. In the manufacturing process a single...

Ring Joint Gaskets "RTJ" are available in two different cross sections, oval or octagonal. Both have identical pitch diameters for the particular RTJ groove they correspond with. RTJ Oval & Octagonal can be used in pressures up to 10,000 PSI. The octagonal type has a higher sealing coefficient...

Careful consideration must be taken on the working conditions of Chemical Hose. If the assembly is constantly flexing, surging, or in a bent application, it could change the capabilities of the assembly. Bend guard, vacuum spring wires and armor guard protectors can be installed in some...

Hydraulic Hose is used in a wide variety of industrial applications where steel pipe or tubing is not feasible. The flexibility of hydraulic hose allows for easier routing and installation. It can give longer service life in applications where severe vibration is causing plumbing...

The Kammprofile gasket consists of a solid metal core, serrated on both sides and covered with a soft, conforming, sealing material (filler) that is bonded to each face. This soft facing produces a gasket with low seating stress. The design of the serrated metal core enhances the gasket's sealing...

Hose Fittings are available in a wide variety of thread types, sizes and configurations. Hose Fittings are normally attached by crimping in a hydraulic crimp machine to manufacturer specifications. Field attachable fittings are also available most hose with braided reinforcement. These fittings are...
