Enhancing the surface profile can improve sealing capabilities, extending the functionality of aging piping systems in chemical plants.
Gaskets
How this feature can improve performance and efficiency.
Low torqueing loads, inadequate equipment selection or faulty installation could be to blame.
How to clean, align, install, lubricate and tighten gaskets for ideal results.
Although the traditional application is as a bearing surface, the technology is suitable for a seal face surface in pumps.
Externally pressurized porous gas bearings are being applied in seal applications for rotating equipment.
