Heat Exchanger Gaskets
Due to the complex nature of heat exchangers, gaskets manufactured for heat transfer must fit properly for use in high temperature environments. A common issue with heat exchanger gaskets pertains to gasket stress. Having ill-fitting gaskets can cause unwanted stress, introducing potential issues.
With unlimited options for gasket materials and configurations, AFGCO has the custom gasket knowledge and experience for your heat exchanger and heat transfer product requirements.
Heat Exchanger Gasket Materials
- N-8092 – Manufactured from a Syntheseal® / Nonasbestos material made of reinforced cellulose fiber with a nitrile rubber binder. N-8092 gaskets are intended for applications with short duration maximum temperatures up to 180°C (350°F) and are commonly used in automotive, small engine, light duty compressor, and general-purpose aftermarket applications.
- TS-9016 – This non asbestos gasket material has a fully cured styrene butadiene rubber binder and a blend of Aramid and cellulose fibers. It is intended for oil and water applications with short duration maximum temperatures up to 290°C (550°F).
- VR-90 - Medium-density, compressed sheet, best chemical and mechanical resistance. Suitable in high purity applications. Unique combination of sealing and strength characteristics.
- NC-711
- CS-830
