Because gaskets are an integral part of most machinery, and particularly pipelines, they need to fit precisely to prevent leaks or other malfunctions that might damage equipment and injure people. Likewise, the material that a specific gasket is made from needs to perform perfectly to manage the pressure, heat, and other conditions to which it…
Because of their ability to perform well in different environments, gaskets are used across industries to seal joints, stabilize pressure, control heat, reduce noise, and to perform a variety of other functions. Available in a range of materials, including rubber, synthetics, metal, cork and copper, premium quality gaskets make most manufacturing operations possible while simultaneously…
Whether you own a restaurant or run a catering company, you’ve likely come across some custom cut gaskets in your kitchen, connecting appliances and performing other functions. However, if you’re not an expert like the team from Precision Cutting Service, you might be unsure of what type of gasket will suit your appliances and applications…
Rubber gaskets are used in nearly every industry you can think of and often they’re exposed to harsh weather conditions, meaning they need to be built to last. The right rubber gasket material will determine its lifespan and how well it holds up under the elements. However, not many people are experts on rubber gaskets…
When dealing with electronic and electrical equipment, safety, especially when operating electrical equipment outside, should be top of mind. Unfortunately, even if you have a protective enclosure, it is only as good as the gaskets that are sealing it. Poor seals and low-quality gaskets can cause damage and huge safety issues. That’s why investing in…
When creating a new product or sourcing replacement parts for older mission-critical hardware, custom gaskets can be a lifesaver. A quality custom gasket service can produce any number of gaskets to meet your needs, and they have a huge range of materials to choose from. This is what makes custom gasket orders so effective—unlike off-the-shelf…
Even in the modern digital age, there are few types of advertising more effective than a truly great sign. Signage still brings in people off the highway, and from the street, when those signs are properly attractive and eye-catching. One of the best ways to make this happen is with the use of custom aluminum signs—dimensional signs,…
Sometimes, when you’re doing a lot of development or prototyping in-house, it might be tempting to try to cut your own custom gaskets rather than ordering them from an experienced supplier. But that exercise can involve a lot of costly wasted time with experimentation. A better course of action might be to contract a proven…
The rule of thumb when ordering custom gaskets is to know their TEMP; that is, Temperature, Environment, Media, and Pressure. Those are the four most crucial aspects to consider when making gaskets because they are what determine the physical properties of the gasket necessary for proper functioning. With the TEMP information in hand, your custom…
There are numerous situations where custom gaskets can be an engineering lifesaver. From helping you R&D new products to replacing parts in a mission-critical piece of hardware that no longer has OEM support, it pays to have a custom gasket manufacturer you can call in when needed. Also, gaskets can sometimes fail—and if it’s…
