Depending on the compatibility of the gasket and the liquid, the gasket may absorb the liquid and expand, resulting in flabby. This is called “swelling”.
This phenomenon is caused by the liquid getting into the intermolecular space of the rubber of the gasket.
As an image, it is similar to the condition when wakame is rehydrated.
Piping and valves are connected to stainless steel containers and related equipment when water or raw materials are fed into them. These connections use “joints” such as threaded fittings, flanges, and ferrules.
We will introduce their applications, types in this article, and we will also introduce the related products of “Tri-clamp ferrules” which are used in processes that require a more hygienic environment.
1.How tri-clamp ferrule works and how it is used
2. Various standards of tri-clamp ferrule
3. Basic knowledge of tri-clamp ferrule and its connecting joints
Ferrule is a fitting which is easy to assemble and disassemble and easy to clean.
It is also called “sanitary piping” or “sanitary fitting”.
Ferrule has a groove in the connection and holds the cruciform shaped gasket between them. It can be fastened with a clamp band.
Tightening and loosening can be done easily by hand without tools.
Gaskets are widely used to seal the stainless steel container. To use the container safely and correctly, compatibility with the gasket is very important, too.
In this article, we will introduce the materials used in the gaskets of stainless steel container.
Silicon rubber gasket has characteristics such as weather resistance, chemical resistance, non-adhesiveness, and ozone resistance. Also, it has excellent flame resistance, water repellency, electrical insulation, etc.
Not only for industrial purposes, the silicon rubber is also used for household products.
This is a standard gasket material for Nitto Kinzoku's stainless steel sealed container.
Operating temperature range: -70 ° C to + 200 ° C
