ePTFE Gasket Tape
ePTFE Gasket Tape
(OP)
HI ,
We are having a pressure vessel( operating pr. 100 psi) whcih has an end cover which is abot 8 feet in dia. There are two grooves on this flange for gasket. Previously we were having rubber gaskets in this grooves. Depth of these grooves is 5 mm. Can one use ePTFE gasket tape for this vessel. I searched for this type of gasket tape but the thicknes of these tapes is not sufficient (usually 2,3 or 6 mm)Can one use rubber gasket made of strips in same way as eptfe gaskets are used?
Thanks

It will be hard to get multiple rubber strips to seal, to many ends.

Burgmann deals with Chestorton ropes and they are also good.

This will be a very economical alternative to a vulcanized elastomer strip gasket to fit in the groove. Any questions contact either W.L. Gore & Associates, Inc. (GORE-TEX) or Inertech, Inc. (Inertex). They are the two biggest, and most knowledgeable ePTFE sealant manufacturers.
