We have devised
a tried and tested method,
to guide you step by step to the right gasket
for your needs.
1. Applications overview:
The gasket characteristics compared
with the criteria to be met in typical
application.
2. Product documentation:
A separate data sheet is supplied for
each gasket in our range.
The pT diagrams are an invaluable
aid to selecting the gasket most
suitable for a particular application.
5. Sealing calculations
on your PC:
For the experienced specialist we
have developed a powerful program
which will answer all your questions
on gasket construction, design and
maintenance. We supply the software
with on-line help.
7. On-sit advice:
With particularly difficult problems
we shall be glad to advice you
on-site. We can supply products
adapted from our existing range or
custom-formulated products.
