RUBBER WASHER – GET TO KNOW ALL ABOUT IT

Image
Rubber in its various avatars, both natural and synthetic, is used for creating different components for industrial applications. Every rubber material comes with different characteristics. These characteristics determine the components that a particular rubber material can be used for. Rubbers and its various compounds are widely used for creating washers. Washers act as gaskets around bolts and are used in applications that involve high compression. Rubber washers are created from molded rubber. Although washers are made from metal too; however rubber washer ismore popular as compared to its metal counterpart. Rubber washer is more resistant to fluids and it does not rust like metals. Rubber washer is flexible and it is because of this reason that it is widely used in applications that require constant expansions and contractions.

Rubber Fuel Seal – How to Design the Perfect One?

Image
There are a few factors that need to be kept in mind when designing fuel seals. Temperature ranges that the given rubber variants can work in: Fuel seals are made up of different types of rubber. The kind of rubber variants used for a particular fuel seal depends upon the type of fuel used in the application. Not all rubber variants can work in the same temperature ranges and fuels. Only one or two type of rubber is suitable as fuel seals material for each of the application. It is important therefore to take into consideration the kind of temperature ranges that the chosen rubber variant can work in when choosing the same for fuel seals. Maximum temperature required: The kind of exposure to the temperature that the application involves is one of the most important factors in designing the fuel seals . Other than the kind of temperature range the application calls for, the highest degree of temperature that may be required for the same is also one of the most important considerations...
