The Purpose of O-Rings

The purpose of O-Rings

Our Gaskets Contact Us
An O-Ring is a mechanical gasket in the shape of doughnut-shaped ring. O-Rings are ideal for placement in a groove and compression during assembly between two or more parts. It is a loop of elastomer with a round cross-section which creates a seal at the interface. They are one of the most common seals in machine design today.

Importance of Compression Testing

Importance of Compression Testing: Metallic & Semi-Metallic Gaskets

Our Gaskets Contact Us
There are various different ways to determine the functionality of a gasket. However, compression testing is one of the most common ways to see how heavy a load a gasket can take. Therefore, we have put together a few reasons for the importance of compression testing prior to application.

Metallic, Semi-Metallic and Non-Metallic Gaskets

A gasket’s function is to interpose a semi-plastic material between the flange facings, the material which, through deformation under load seals the minute surface irregularities to prevent leakage of the fluid. Generally, gaskets can be divided into three main categories: Non-metallic gaskets, Semi-metallic gaskets and Metallic gaskets.

Selecting the Appropriate Gasket Material

The majority of manufacturing sectors, including the automotive, aerospace, electronics, appliance and military industries, utilize gaskets in their production methods. Made of deformable material, a gasket is a sealing device usually designed in the form of a ring or sheet. They create a pressure-tight seam between multiple stationary components, relying on a compression seal to prevent unwanted gas or liquid emissions. Often times, these seals are intended to be resistant to pressure, temperature fluctuations and in some instances, electrical or electromagnetic forces. A gasket uses compression, so it is generally more malleable than the components it joins and is able to conform to the shape of the harder surfaces between which it is placed.

Our Hoses Contact Us
Within different industries, there are plenty of different types of hoses, all of which have various purposes. There isn’t really such thing as “the best hose”, only a hose that can do its job and do it right. Bryan Hose has possibly every hose you could require to perform your job in the most efficient way possible. We will discuss the different types of industrial hoses, as well as the more popular hoses for specific applications.
