2.10. Material Gasket


This calculation program permanently saves different gasket materials which will be displayed by means of the Pull Down menu. Click the mouse and choose the requested material. In case of a thermal calculation the gasket material chosen the last time is preselected. If you want to calculate with a gasket material not contained in this list, please contact our sales department.

In case of a recalculation the gasket material, arising from the identification of unit you entered will be automatically used.

The following gasket materials can be chosen:

NBR HT up to 140°C max. operating temperature, media for instance: water, milk, oils
H NBR up to 150°C max. operating temperature, media for instance: water, milk, oils
EPDM up to 150°C max. operating temperature, media for instance: demin water, steam
EPDM HT up to 160°C max. operating temperature, media for instance: demin water, steam
Viton I up to 170°C max. operating temperature, media for instance: water...
Viton S up to 195°C max. operating temperature, media for instance: water, steam...

Lifetime of the gaskets mainly depends on local operating conditions. Wear and tear means fatigue of elastic force or hardening of the gasket. Steady-state conditions like constant pressure and temperatures are more advantageous conditions. Batch operation possibly will result in an early wear and tear of the gaskets.
