Nichias: This is a comparison table for fluid compatibility of Vulcargas gaskets. Asbestos joint sheets have versatile properties that allow them to cover a wide range of practical applications due to their excellent heat resistance and pressure resistance. However, as the transition away from asbestos progresses, a certain degree of categorization for usage applications will be necessary. The alternative flow shown below is merely a guideline, but it serves as an example of systematic categorization. Please use it for selection purposes.

The "Bulker No. GF300" contains no rubber at all, making it a joint sheet for steam piping that does not undergo thermal degradation. It can also be used at high temperatures.

"On the high-temperature and high-pressure steam line, the soft gasket could not withstand and leaked. In equipment that repeatedly starts and stops, the gasket deteriorates with each temperature change and leaks. During maintenance, it takes half a day to remove the gasket that has burned onto the flange." These are critical sealing issues that occur in important lines that can be considered the heart of the plant. In response to these challenges, the "spiral gasket" from Vulcan Corporation offers a solution by combining the advantages of "metal" and "non-metal." This article delves into the three significant benefits that this high-performance semi-metallic gasket brings to the field, how it solves the difficult sealing challenges you face, and provides specific guidelines for selecting the appropriate product from a wide range of options, explained thoroughly from a professional perspective. *For detailed content of the column, please refer to the related link.

"Which is more suitable for our line, black tight or clean tight?" "Is an inner ring necessary for this flange, or not?" "How should I specify this complex shape for the heat exchanger?" The "spiral wound gasket," renowned as the "last line of defense" in sealing high-temperature and high-pressure lines, boasts immense trust. However, in exchange for its high performance, the selection method is extremely complex, causing many field personnel to struggle. Incorrect selection can lead not only to increased costs due to over-specification but, in the worst case, could result in serious leakage accidents. This article does not praise a specific product. Using the Valqua "spiral wound gasket" as a subject, it serves as a comprehensive guide to explain a practical thought process (selection flow) to solve the challenge of "complex gasket selection" that you face in the field. *For detailed content of the column, you can view it through the related links.

"In a line handling strong acids and strong alkalis, the degradation and leakage of gaskets occur frequently." "With glass-lined flanges, it is impossible to apply clamping force, resulting in unstable seals." "Every time maintenance is performed, we struggle to peel off gaskets that have adhered to the flanges." These are serious sealing issues that arise daily in demanding environments such as chemical plants and pharmaceutical and food factories. To fundamentally solve these challenges, the high-performance sealing material designed with the philosophy of 'the right material in the right place' is the 'fluororesin jacket gasket' from Valkar Co., Ltd. In this article, we will delve into the three significant benefits that this high-performance composite gasket brings to the field, how it can solve the challenges you face, and provide specific guidelines for selecting the right product from a wide range of options, explained thoroughly from a professional perspective. *For detailed content of the column, you can view it through the related link.

"In a line handling highly corrosive chemicals, leaks from flanges are absolutely unacceptable. Flanges with glass lining or resin lining cannot withstand high tightening forces." This presents the most demanding sealing challenge, requiring both advanced chemical resistance and the ability to conform to delicate flange surfaces. One solution to this challenge is the "Fluororesin Jacket Gasket" series from Vulcan Corporation. In this article, we will thoroughly explain why this high-performance composite gasket is trusted in many chemical plants, covering its basic structure, the differences among the four main core materials (N, S, H, F types) that determine its performance, and the essential precautions that must be followed for safe use, all from a professional perspective. *For detailed content of the column, please refer to the related links.

"There is no stock of standard sheet gaskets for large-diameter equipment." "There are distortions and scratches on the flange surface, and normal gaskets cannot stop the leakage." "Due to urgent maintenance, we must restore the seal immediately." …These are unexpected or difficult sealing challenges that are hard to address with standard-sized sheet gaskets. To meet this ultimate demand, the "Valkar No.7GS66A" (code seal [soft] oval type) developed by Valkar Co., Ltd. was created with the concept of "size-free." In this article, we will thoroughly explain why No.7GS66A can be a "trump card" for "emergency response" and "flanges with significant distortion," from the secret of its marshmallow-like softness to the most important "selection rules" and "correct usage" to fully utilize its performance, all from a professional perspective. *For detailed content of the column, you can view it through the related links.

Contamination of products is something we absolutely want to avoid, but pure PTFE gaskets are prone to deformation (creep) and lack long-term reliability. Tightening management is difficult, and frequent re-tightening becomes necessary. This has been a long-standing dilemma faced by sites aiming to achieve both ultimate cleanliness and stable sealing performance. To address this challenge, the molecular structure of PTFE itself has been improved, resulting in the development of 'Valkar No. 7010-EX' (New Balfron Gasket) by Valkar Co., Ltd. In this article, we will thoroughly explain why No. 7010-EX can claim to have 'improved creep resistance,' from its structural secrets to specific data that supports its performance, as well as the correct knowledge for safe use, all from a professional perspective. *For detailed content of the column, please refer to the related link.
