Gaskets <\/strong> are an essential component in industrial piping connection systems, ensuring a perfect seal between mating surfaces and preventing the leakage of fluids or gases even under extreme operating conditions. Depending on the pressure, temperature, and fluid type requirements, metallic<\/strong> or non-metallic<\/strong> gaskets are used, manufactured in compliance with ASME B16.20<\/strong> and ASME B16.21<\/strong> standards.<\/p>\n

Metal gaskets<\/strong> are used in high-pressure and high-temperature systems, where mechanical resistance, dimensional stability, and durability are required. The most common types include R Ring<\/strong>, RX Ring<\/strong>, and BX Ring<\/strong>, used primarily in flanged joints in petrochemical plants, oil and gas pipelines, and refineries. The unique geometry and contact profile of these gaskets allow for a progressive seal proportional to the increase in pressure, ensuring consistent and reliable performance even in the presence of significant temperature variations.<\/p>\n

Non-metallic gaskets<\/strong>, on the other hand, are used in medium- to low-pressure applications and offer a more versatile and cost-effective solution for a wide range of industrial applications. They can be made of fibrous, elastomeric, or composite materials, and are chosen based on the chemical and physical characteristics of the process fluid and the operating conditions. They offer excellent adaptability to mating surfaces, good corrosion resistance, and easy replacement during maintenance.<\/p>\n

The Mekano range includes a wide variety of gaskets in terms of size, pressure, and material, ensuring compatibility with all major standardized flange types. The high-quality materials, combined with precision machining, guarantee consistent performance over time and full compliance with the international standards required for the most critical applications in the oil & gas, chemical, and power generation industries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
