Performance Characteristics
- Fuel & Oil Resistance
FKM material maintains its physical properties when exposed to petroleum-based fuels, lubricants, and hydraulic oils, reducing swelling and dimensional changes during service.
- Temperature Resistance
Viton compounds are selected for sealing applications involving elevated temperatures. The actual operating temperature depends on the specific FKM formulation, compression conditions, and exposure environment.
- Chemical Compatibility
FKM provides resistance to many industrial fluids and chemicals. Material selection should be based on the specific medium, concentration, and operating conditions.
- Compression Sealing Performance
The gasket structure allows controlled deformation under flange bolt pressure, filling surface irregularities between mating components and maintaining sealing contact.
Production Capability
Custom Mold Development
Chaoyue develops production molds based on customer drawings, samples, and flange specifications. Mold structures can be adjusted for different gasket shapes, thicknesses, dimensions, and sealing profiles required by specific assemblies.
Precision Manufacturing Control
The production process controls key dimensions of Viton flange gasket seals, including inner diameter, outer diameter, thickness, and overall profile. Process parameters are managed to maintain consistency between production batches.
Batch Production & Inspection
Chaoyue supports both prototype production and volume manufacturing. Each production batch can be inspected through dimensional measurement, hardness testing, and visual inspection to verify product requirements before shipment.
FAQ
What is a Viton flange gasket seal used for?
A Viton flange gasket seal is installed between two flange surfaces to prevent leakage of liquids and gases. The gasket is compressed by flange bolts, creating a sealing barrier between connected components.
What fluids are compatible with Viton gasket seals?
Viton (FKM) is commonly selected for applications involving petroleum-based oils, fuels, lubricants, hydraulic fluids, and many chemical media. Compatibility should be confirmed according to the specific fluid and operating conditions.
What is the difference between Viton and NBR flange gaskets?
Viton provides better resistance to fuels, chemicals, and elevated temperatures, while NBR is commonly used for general oil and hydraulic applications. The suitable material depends on the working environment and media exposure.
