Key Features & Benefits of Custom Gaskets

The key features and benefits of custom gaskets include:

Precision Fit

Manufactured to tight tolerances (typically ±0.1 mm) for accurate alignment and reliable sealing.

Material-Specific Performance

Optimized resistance to heat, chemicals, pressure, and environmental exposure.

Wide Temperature Capability

Supports operating ranges from −200°C to +260°C, depending on material selection.

Low Compression Set

Maintains sealing force over extended service life, reducing maintenance needs.

Design Flexibility

Custom shapes, profiles, and thicknesses for complex assemblies.

Long Service Life

How to Install Custom
Gaskets

The key features and benefits of custom gaskets are:

1

Surface Cleaning

Clean all mating surfaces to remove oil, debris, old gasket residue, and moisture. Proper surface preparation ensures full gasket contact and sealing efficiency.

2

Alignment

Verify the correct alignment of flanges, panels, or components before placing the gasket to avoid uneven compression or distortion.

3

Placement

Position the custom gasket accurately within the sealing area, ensuring it sits flat and fully covers the sealing interface.

4

Compression/Fastening

Tighten fasteners gradually in a cross or star pattern. Apply torque in stages to achieve uniform compression across the gasket.

5

Leak or Performance Testing

Bring the system to operating pressure and temperature. Inspect for leaks using approved testing methods.

6

Final Check

Recheck fastener torque if required and confirm the gasket remains properly seated after initial operation.

Compression Guidelines

Recommended Compression Range

Most custom gaskets perform optimally at 20–30% compression, depending on material and durometer.

Avoid Over-Compression

Excessive compression can cause permanent deformation, extrusion, or reduced sealing life.

Material-Specific Behavior

Softer materials (foam, silicone) require lower sealing force, while harder elastomers and PTFE need controlled bolt load.

Allow for operating conditions

Apply torque evenly to prevent localized stress, gaps, or premature failure.

Allow for Operating Conditions

Account for thermal expansion, pressure fluctuations, and vibration to maintain long-term sealing integrity.
