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.
