Frequently Asked Questions
What are gaskets used for?
Gaskets are used to create a seal between two surfaces, helping prevent the leakage of liquids or gases within mechanical and pipework systems. They are commonly used in petrochemical, pharmaceutical, process and industrial applications where sealing performance is important.
What are the main categories of gasket?
Gaskets are often grouped by how they are used, including static gaskets, semi-static gaskets and dynamic gaskets. Static gaskets are used where the mating surfaces do not move, semi-static gaskets allow for limited movement or vibration, and dynamic gaskets are used where movement is present within the system.
How do gaskets prevent leaks?
Gaskets prevent leaks by compressing between two mating surfaces and filling small gaps or surface irregularities. This creates a barrier that helps prevent fluids or gases escaping from the joint.
Can MDS Petrochemical supply bespoke gaskets?
Yes. MDS Petrochemical supplies standard and bespoke gaskets and seals, with products profiled to suit specific requirements, operating environments and industrial applications.
Are gaskets available for extreme pressure and temperature applications?
Yes. MDS Petrochemical can supply gaskets designed for applications involving extreme pressures and temperatures, depending on the material, profile, chemical compatibility and project specification.
Can material certification and traceability be provided?
Yes. MDS Petrochemical offers material certification and traceability for gasket products where required.
Can MDS Petrochemical support related product requirements?
Yes. MDS Petrochemical can also support requirements for flanges, butt weld pipe fittings, forged pipe fittings, carbon steel fittings, studbolt fasteners, pipe and tube and valves.
