FAQs of Silicone Rubber Gaskets:
Q: How are silicone rubber gaskets manufactured and customized to specific shapes or sizes?
A: Silicone rubber gaskets are produced using molding or extrusion processes, which allow for precise control over their dimensions and properties. These methods support a range of shapes, including round and custom profiles, with thicknesses from 0.5 mm to 20 mm. Specifications can be tailored as per customer requirements and industry standards.
Q: What are the primary benefits of using silicone rubber gaskets in sealing and electrical insulation applications?
A: Silicone rubber gaskets offer high resilience, excellent resistance to temperature extremes (up to 230C), and a low compression set. They provide reliable sealing against oils, chemicals, water, steam, and air, while also functioning as efficient electrical insulators. This combination of properties ensures durability and consistent performance in critical environments.
Q: When should a silicone rubber gasket be selected over other gasket materials?
A: A silicone rubber gasket is best chosen for applications requiring exceptional temperature and chemical resistance, electrical insulation, and low compression set. It is especially suitable for food, pharmaceutical, medical, and industrial applications where reliability, safety, and compliance with standards such as ASTM or IS are vital.
Q: Where can silicone rubber gaskets be used within industrial machinery and medical devices?
A: These gaskets are utilized in flange sealing, equipment housing, electrical enclosures, sanitary fittings, and interface sealing within industrial machinery. In medical devices, they provide secure sealing and insulation, aided by the materials non-reactive and hygienic nature.
Q: What is the process for ensuring gasket compatibility with different media such as oils, chemicals, or steam?
A: Before installation, compatibility checks are performed based on the medium the gasket will contact (oils, chemicals, water, steam, air). Material formulations can be adjusted for enhanced resistance as needed, and compliance with standards ensures suitability for various substances and operational conditions.
Q: How does the pressure and temperature resistance of silicone rubber gaskets benefit critical operations?
A: Silicone rubber gaskets are engineered to withstand high pressures (customizable to specifications) and continuous temperatures up to 230C. These properties minimize gasket failure risks, maintain integrity under fluctuating conditions, and support long service life in demanding applications.
