Case Study of Processing Gaskets for Large-Diameter Flanges | Water Jet Processing for Multi-Hole Flanges
■Overview of Processing Example Product Name: Gasket for Large Diameter Flange Dimensions: Outer Diameter 985φ × Inner Diameter 756φ (P918/22φ-42) This processing example involves the manufacturing of gaskets used for large diameter flanges. The client operates in the plant and equipment sector, requiring stable dimensional accuracy and hole position reproducibility despite the large outer and inner diameters and the presence of numerous bolt holes. T1120 material was used, and by adopting water jet processing, we achieved stable machining of the outer shape and hole arrangement according to the drawings without compromising the material properties. This facilitates easy alignment during assembly and contributes to workability and sealing performance.

basic information
■Product Features (TOMBO No. 1120) TOMBO No. 1120 is a joint sheet made primarily of expanded graphite, with added aramid fibers and NBR. It excels in heat resistance, steam resistance, and corrosion resistance, and has the characteristics of being flexible and resistant to scratches. It is suitable for water, steam, oil, exhaust gases, etc., and is widely used in relatively high-temperature flanges and valves in petroleum refining, chemical plants, and power plants. ■Processing Method (Water Jet Cutting) Water jet cutting is a hydraulic cutting machine 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 that are typically associated with manual processing are significantly improved, resulting in stable processing accuracy. The taper on the cut surface from press processing can also be improved with water jet cutting.
