Processing example of PTFE (Teflon) circular multi-hole gasket | Uneven pitch support through water jet processing
Processing Case Overview
Product Name: Circular Multi-Hole Gasket
Dimensions: Outer Diameter φ300 / Inner Diameter φ228
Material: PTFE 1t
This case involves the processing of a circular gasket made of PTFE material, featuring multiple bolt holes arranged with an uneven pitch. The material was specified with a focus on chemical resistance, and the non-standard hole arrangement was addressed using water jet cutting.
Product Features
PTFE
PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) is a high-performance material with exceptional heat and chemical resistance. It withstands almost all acids and alkalis, and has minimal leaching of impurities, making it widely used in industries that require contamination-free materials, such as food, pharmaceuticals, and chemical plants. It also possesses non-stick and insulating properties, providing reliable performance even in harsh environments.
Processing Method (Water Jet Cutting)
Water jet cutting is a method that uses high-pressure water to cut materials. It processes by spraying high-pressure water. The injection nozzle can be changed according to the processing material, allowing for the production of high-quality products in a short time. Additionally, the dimensional tolerances achieved through traditional manual processing are significantly improved, resulting in stable processing accuracy. The taper of the cut surface from press processing can also be improved with water jet cutting.
