Attention customers struggling with delivery deadlines! 【JM Seal Magazine】 (Issue 10)

Customers struggling with steam! Here is the solution!

Are you using PTFE or joint sheets and experiencing significant leakage with steam? Our expanded graphite gaskets improve the handling issues and are widely used in the market. Here are two of our gaskets: - 8851ND CleaLock The 8851ND CleaLock is our original gasket made from high-density expanded graphite combined with stainless steel. This improves handling and provides a good tightening feel, which has received great acclaim from operators. Additionally, we have a quick turnaround time, typically responding within 3-4 days, and we will do our best to accommodate urgent requests, so please feel free to contact us. - 1500 HOCHDRUCK-Pro The 1500 HOCHDRUCK-Pro retains the soft expanded graphite while featuring multiple layers of stainless steel. It has 5 layers of stainless steel at a thickness of 3mm and 7 layers at a thickness of 4mm. It can be used under high pressure, making it a popular choice as an emergency substitute for metal gaskets, and of course, we can also provide quick delivery.

It includes a gasket selection table and recommended part numbers, which can serve as a reference during selection! Additionally, we also accept separate requests for calculations of tightening pressure considering bolt strength. 【Contents (partial)】 ■ Gasket selection criteria and recommended part numbers ■ High-density expanded graphite gasket for steam: 8851ND ■ Super high-pressure SUS multi-layer expanded graphite gasket for steam: 1500 ■ High-sealability cam profile gasket ■ General-purpose expanded graphite gasket ■ Other general-purpose gaskets ■ Wide-range compatible expanded graphite gland packing for valves ■ Other various gland packings ■ RCF-compatible manhole gaskets and packings

• Sealing

The gasket during flange release suppresses the sticking of the packing, significantly reducing flange cleaning time!

The anti-seizing spray eCLEAR is a gasket anti-seizing spray based on inorganic minerals. Please apply it to the gasket before tightening. This will help suppress seizing during opening. <Features> - Prevents gasket burning (seizing) to flanges! - Compatible with most gasket materials! - Significantly reduces flange cleaning time! - Excellent heat resistance up to 800℃ - Can be used in conjunction with gasket seal paste (seal auxiliary agent)! *It cannot remove gaskets that have already seized. Please apply it beforehand. *The heat resistance temperature depends on the performance of the base material gasket.

[Free Sample Offered] Easy, convenient, and with excellent permeability, making the difficult task of removing bolts easy!

If you apply an appropriate amount to the bolt you want to loosen, it will penetrate in about 30 minutes. Applying it the day before will make it more effective in loosening. This is expected to shorten the time required for disassembly and inspection. 【Features】 ■ Improved equipment operating rate ■ Cost benefits from reusing bolts ■ Reduction in the number of bolts to be removed and associated costs *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us. *If you would like a free sample, please reach out to us through the contact form.

"Free sample available" Gaskets that meet the standards of excellent heat resistance, chemical resistance, and pressure resistance in accordance with air pollution prevention guidelines.

The "1500 HOCHDRUCK-Pro" is a high-performance gasket that meets the air pollution prevention guidelines "TA-LUFT" in Germany, a leading country in environmental protection. Thanks to its multilayer reinforced structure, it can be used in areas where semi-metallic or metallic gaskets are typically employed. Additionally, it can serve as an alternative to spiral gaskets in urgent situations and is suitable for a wide range of applications, including steam union gaskets. 【Features】 ■ Excellent heat resistance, chemical resistance, and pressure resistance ■ Minimal stress relaxation (reduction in surface pressure) ■ Superior sealing performance ■ Excellent handling properties ■ Outstanding emergency response capability "Free Sample Offer" Please feel free to contact us for your request. If you provide specific testing conditions, we will consider samples tailored to those dimensions, so please get in touch. 【Testing Conditions Examples】 ■ Temperature ■ Pressure ■ Fluid ■ Equipment used ■ Dimensions (thickness, outer diameter, inner diameter, etc.) ■ Estimated annual demand ■ Others *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

It can demonstrate excellent sealing performance even under low tightening surface pressure.

The cam profile gasket is a gasket that uses a sealing layer on the surface of a gasket core processed into a special tooth shape. It has excellent pressure resistance (43.1 MPa) and heat resistance. 【Features】 ■ Can solve insulation issues at high temperatures ■ Usable with fluids that are prone to polymerization reactions ■ Usable in locations where issues due to vibration occur *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

Shut out infiltration and leakage! Improved heat resistance with grommet processing.

"MacGuard" is the name of an option that applies crimping processing of SUS316L or Hastelloy to the inner and outer diameters of gaskets. By adding MacGuard as an option for gaskets, it is possible to significantly improve sealing performance, contamination prevention, pressure resistance, heat resistance, and more. 【Features】 ■ Shuts out permeation leakage ■ Improved heat resistance ■ Blocks the occurrence of contamination ■ Protects the gasket from fluids ■ Significantly suppresses cold flow of fluorine-based gaskets ■ Prevents gasket adhesion ■ Greatly improves the handling of gaskets *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

In civil engineering sites, steel plates have traditionally been the standard, but in recent years, more companies are choosing wooden mats to suit site conditions. Hyper CLT mats, utilizing wood CLT as civil engineering materials, are being introduced for a wide range of applications including public works, temporary roads, access routes, material yards, and temporary parking lots. The reasons for their selection are not simply because they are "made of wood." The 5×10 panels weigh about 230 kg, making them lightweight and easy to install and remove even with small machinery, with a maximum capacity of 40 panels on a 10-ton truck. This also leads to improvements in workability and transportation efficiency. Furthermore, they add different values to the site compared to steel plates, such as reducing glare and radiant heat, noise control, CO2 fixation, and consideration for aesthetics. They can be partially used only where needed, allowing for differentiation in use from steel plates. This technology is registered with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism under NETIS, with the registration number "TH-250021-A." The introduction of Hyper CLT mats is expanding as a new option that combines wood, NETIS, and civil engineering.

Metal cracks are one of the concerns in equipment maintenance operations. Conventional welding methods for repairs can cause changes in the base material around the crack due to heat, leading to residual stress and deformation, which always carries the risk of "crack recurrence" and "secondary damage." Hinode Water Supply Equipment Co., Ltd.'s "Mechanical Stitching Method" is a new technique that allows for the repair of metal cracks without applying heat. By using special bolts and reinforcement plates, the crack is physically removed without affecting the base material at all. Repairs can be made even in environments where open flames cannot be used. Since no heat is applied, the disassembly of equipment is minimized. For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.
