  • Guide to O-ring Selection
    O-rings are elastomeric and donut-shaped gaskets designed to create fluid-tight seals between mated parts within a fluid system. Although simplistic in design and function, these components perform a critical role. When used correctly in fluid handling and processing systems, they ensure process
  • What Are O-Rings?
    O-rings are an essential component in many industrial manufacturing processes. These simple yet effective rubber rings provide a tight seal between two mating surfaces, allowing for the transfer of fluids or gases while preventing leaks. They have been used in aerospace, automotive, and medical
  • Your O-Ring Is A Problem, Why?
    O-rings are most often the primary source of contamination in any vacuum system. An unprocessed, or "raw", O-ring will contain a great deal of water which is chemically formed during the manufacturing process. Additional solvents and plasticizers with low vapor pressures will also likely be present
  • Vacuum Baking Process - What Is It And Why Would You Choose It For Your Application?
    contaminants trapped in the parts. The process utilizes high heat and removes surface water and residual volatile compounds that may still be on or inside of the fastener, o-ring, washer, or nut from the manufacturing process. The bake-out basically artificially accelerates the process of outgassing
  • Chilling Out with Sealless Pumps (Process Cooling & Equipment : September-October 2005)
    Sealless pumps are used in many industries, most commonly to avoid the leak potential of rotating mechanical shaft seals. The term "sealless" is actually somewhat of a misnomer - while sealless pumps do not have a rotating shaft seal, they usually have at least a gasket or O-ring, often located
  • Highest Level of Tightness, Lowest Leakage Rates of Turbocompressors with Gas Bearings for Noble Gas Processing
    Compressor applications frequently require a high demand for tightness performance of the turbo compressor. For many reasons this feature is important to minimize and avoid risks of health, environment, fire, failure and cost. Since 100% system tightness - even using O-rings is unfeasible
  • PUR-GARD TM FDA Compliant Seals
    Garlock's PUR-GARD TM FDA compliant seals for food and beverage processing plants ensure contamination protection from daily wash downs, high-pressure spray, and dust particulate. The unique Cam-Lock O-ring groove design includes a 316 stainless steel stator and rotor and FKM O-rings
  • A White Paper on Solenoid Valve Leakage - Identifying Root Causes and Methods for Eliminating Leakage
    is to correctly install a new O-ring. Solenoid valves that use diaphragms as a sealing member can also experience external leakage via wicking through the diaphragm. Wicking is a process whereby the pressurized fluid journeys through the diaphragm material between the rubber and reinforcing material
  • Fluon TM PTFE Micropowders Outperform Conventional Lubricant Additives for Rubber Compounds
    Many natural rubber and synthetic elastomer products used in the automotive and consumer durable industries are compounded with lubricating additives for improved tribological performance as well as processing advantages. Products like O-rings, hoses, fan belts, strips, seals and gaskets require
