Metal gaskets: From petrochemicals to precision manufacturing, they are everywhere. Have you noticed?

In the modern industrial field, metal gaskets have become an indispensable existence in various industries with their unique properties and wide applications. From petrochemicals to aerospace, from power transmission to precision manufacturing, metal gaskets play an important role.

The petrochemical industry is one of the widely used fields for metal gaskets. In this industry, metal gaskets are mainly used for sealing of equipment such as pipelines, valves, and pumps. Since petrochemical media usually have the characteristics of high temperature, high pressure, and corrosiveness, metal gaskets are required to have high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, and sealing performance. Stainless steel gaskets, nickel-based alloy gaskets, etc. have become the choice of the petrochemical industry due to their good corrosion resistance and high temperature performance.

In the power industry, metal gaskets also play a vital role. Power equipment such as generators and transformers need to maintain stable temperature and sealing performance during operation. Metal gaskets can not only effectively prevent leakage of power equipment, but also play a good role in heat insulation and heat dissipation. In particular, copper gaskets, aluminum gaskets, etc. have good electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity, so they are particularly widely used in the power industry.

In the fields of shipbuilding and aerospace, the application of metal gaskets cannot be ignored. These industries have extremely high requirements for equipment, not only requiring the equipment to have performance, but also requiring it to be able to operate stably for a long time in harsh environments. Metal gaskets are widely used in the sealing and connection parts of ships and aerospace equipment due to their high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance and sealing performance. For example, in aircraft engines, metal gaskets can ensure the tight connection between various components and prevent oil and gas leakage.

In the precision manufacturing industry, metal gaskets also play an important role. Since the precision manufacturing industry has extremely high requirements for the accuracy and stability of equipment, high-quality metal gaskets are needed to ensure the normal operation of the equipment. Metal gaskets can effectively reduce friction and wear between equipment components and improve the accuracy and life of the equipment. At the same time, metal gaskets can also play a good shock absorption and buffering role, protecting the equipment from external shock and vibration.

In addition to the above major industries, metal gaskets have also been widely used in many other industries. For example, in the automotive industry, metal gaskets are used for the sealing and connection of key components such as engines and transmissions; in the construction industry, metal gaskets are used in engineering fields such as waterproofing and fire prevention; in the environmental protection industry, metal gaskets are used for the sealing and filtration of sewage treatment equipment.
