Additional Sealing Gaskets & Specialty Seals FAQs
Q: What surface finish is required for optimal gasket performance?
A: Most gaskets require a surface finish between 125-250 Ra µin (3.2-6.3 µm). Specific recommendations vary by gasket material - metal gaskets often need finer finishes (63-125 µin) while softer materials can accommodate rougher surfaces.
Q: How do I determine the correct bolt load for my Sealing Gaskets & Specialty Seals?
A: Bolt load calculations should consider gasket material, design pressure, and flange type. We provide detailed installation torque specifications with all products. For critical applications, we recommend consulting our engineering team for specific calculations.
