Control Compression

Advantages of Compression Control of Your Gaskets
Achieving a clean contact surface is critical to high purity processing. Our color-coded gasket is engineered to replace a conventional clamp gasket and prevent overtightening to establish an ideal elastomer to stainless steel transition at the sealing location.

With Our color-coded gasket, the elastomer will not extrude into the inside diameter of the process pipeline. Our color-coded gasket accomplishes our goal by combining a hard stop with an elastomer. The rigid surface limits the load that the elastomer would typically be subject to.

What happens when a gasket intrudes into the process pipeline:
  • Intrusion can result in bacteria entrapment as bioburden will have a place to grow and hide from CIP chemicals and from steam used to sterilize the system.
  • Elastomers can fail prematurely as contact increases into the process flowpath.
  • Extraction from materials increase from gasket erosion.
  • Gasket can fragment and contaminate batches with unwanted particles.
  • Blocking flowpath can affect output.
