Gaskets are sealing elements commonly used in engineering and industrial applications to prevent leaks of liquids or gases in mechanical connections. These are circular or square-shaped rings generally made of elastomeric materials such as rubber, silicone, NBR, Viton or neoprene, which are placed in slots, housings or grooves specifically designed for them.
These gaskets work by compressing when two mechanical parts are assembled, creating an airtight seal between them. Due to their simple and effective design, they are widely used in a variety of applications, from industrial machinery to hydraulic and pneumatic systems .
Gaskets are known for their ability to seal efficiently even under conditions of high pressure and temperature due to the diversity of materials in which they can be manufactured.
In summary, sealing gaskets, such as O-rings or quadrigas, are crucial sealing elements in engineering, contributing to the prevention of leaks and guaranteeing efficient operation of mechanical and fluid systems.
This type of joints can also be supplied by the meter, being able to be cut to the desired size and perfectly sealed, joining the two parts of the joint with a specific adhesive product.
