Gasketing & Sealing
TRADITIONAL METHODS VS. LOCTITE® MODERN SOLUTION
The major causes of failure and leakage of compression gaskets are:
• Surface contact: Compression gaskets do not provide total contact between the gasket and the flange surfaces. Therefore, minor leakages may occur (weeping rate).
• Compression set: Compression gaskets relax under dynamic loads and decrease in thickness, with subsequent loss of bolt tension in the flange joint resulting in leakage.
• Extrusion: Gaskets can be squeezed out between flanges.
• Bolt hole distortion: High stresses are transferred to the gasket material under the bolt head, causing the gasket to crack, tear, rupture or extrude.
