Choosing the Right Gasket Material for Your Equipment

Gaskets are used in a wide variety of industrial applications, including aerospace, automotive, oil and gas, pharmacy and food proceeding to, name a few. Premium quality gaskets provide several benefits, such as noise and sound reduction and anti-vibration. However, they are primarily used to create a dependable seal between two or more surfaces to prevent the leakage of air or liquids.
Because gaskets directly impact equipment performance, selecting the correct gasket material that can withstand the environment it will be exposed to is critically important. Consequently, it is also crucially important to work with a trusted custom gasket manufacturer that can furnish the right product for your specific needs.Gasket Material

Our advanced waterjet cutting machines can efficiently and precisely produce custom gaskets up to 6.0” thick with tolerances of ±0.003.” You will receive perfectly smooth edges from us because waterjet cutting, with its high-pressure stream of cold water, does not leave burrs or distortions like die-cutters and lasers sometimes do. Moreover, because our cutting nozzles are computer driven, they can be programmed to tightly nest your gaskets to yield maximum material utilization, which in turn, saves you time and money.

Material Selection
The right material selection is driven by a series of factors, beginning with an assessment of the operating environment in which the gasket will be exposed, such as temperature, pressure, chemicals, acids, etc. We’re also asked for recommendations to replace asbestos, and we have effective solutions for that, too. At Precision Cutting Service, we build solutions that are tailored to your specific application and budget. Our custom gaskets can, for example, withstand high compressive loads, provide EMI/RFI shielding, and endure abrasion, caustic chemical exposure, and high temperatures.Gasket Material
