Transforming Sealing Efficiency with Durlon® RCA® Gaskets
Posted on 01/03/25
In today’s fast-paced industrial landscape, efficient and reliable sealing solutions are essential. The Durlon® RCA® Gasket, developed by Gasket Resources Inc., is revolutionizing gasket technology with its innovative design tailored for “flat face to flat face” flange applications. Ideal for FRP, PVC, glass-lined, or steel flanges, this low-stress gasket is setting new industry standards by replacing conventional full-face gaskets with enhanced performance and cost savings.
Key Features of Durlon® RCA® Gasket:
- Advanced Stress Management: The Durlon® RCA® Gasket is engineered to optimize sealing efficiency by reducing the contact area, which lowers the sealing stress required. Finite Element Analysis (FEA) confirms that the gasket effectively manages stress distribution, enhancing its performance and longevity in demanding applications.
- Material and Size Flexibility: Available in PTFE styles and Compressed Non-Asbestos (CNA) materials, RCA® gaskets are offered in 1/16” and 1/8” thicknesses, and sizes ranging from 1 to 24 inches in diameter. The use of standard sheet materials not only allows for custom sizing but also provides substantial cost savings compared to other low-stress gasket options.
- Enhanced Usability: Designed for user-friendly installation, Durlon® RCA® Gaskets feature built-in alignment guides and identification tabs that extend beyond the flange’s outer diameter. This design simplifies positioning and ensures easy identification, making installation and maintenance more efficient.
- Versatile Applications: The gasket’s reduced contact area and low-stress design make it perfect for Class 150 non-metallic and metallic pipe flanges. Its versatility allows it to be utilized across a wide range of industries, offering a reliable solution wherever low-stress gaskets are needed.
- Cost-Effective and Customizable: Durlon® RCA® Gaskets offer both affordability and customization. Cut from standard PTFE and CNA sheets, they provide significant savings and can be tailored to meet the unique needs of specific applications, making them a smart choice for industries seeking high-performance solutions at a competitive price.
