Use of Multiple Types of Thread Sealant for NPT threads
Use of Multiple Types of Thread Sealant for NPT threads
(OP)
We are having leaks using pre-baked "VIBRASEAL" on NPT male parts. Is there a Standard for type, amount and acceptable application for the sealant? And are there any rules on using multiple or combination of sealants.

The second site is Xpando, a little different type sealant that I've had very good results with.

X-Pando is an awesome thread sealant, but it does have a couple of drawbacks. It makes it difficult (frequently VERY difficult) to disassemble, and it takes at least overnight to set. The time thing usually means it's unsuitable for many maintenance jobs, as production people want this thing back in service 15 minutes ago.
