Tömítbetétek

Tömítbetétek are sealing inserts used in various mechanical applications to prevent leakage of fluids or gases. They function by creating a barrier between two mating surfaces. The specific design and material of a tömítbetét are tailored to the operating conditions, including pressure, temperature, and the chemical nature of the substance being contained.

These inserts are commonly found in engines, pipelines, valves, pumps, and various industrial equipment. They are crucial for maintaining the integrity and efficiency of systems, preventing environmental contamination, and ensuring safety. Materials used for tömítbetétek can range from flexible elastomers like rubber and silicone to more rigid materials such as metal, PTFE, or composite materials. The choice of material depends on factors like chemical resistance, temperature tolerance, and the required sealing force.

The installation of tömítbetétek typically involves placing them between components that are then fastened together, such as with bolts or clamps. The compression generated by the fastening process deforms the tömítbetét, filling any imperfections on the mating surfaces and creating a tight seal. Different types of tömítbetétek exist, including O-rings, gaskets, and seals, each with specific profiles and applications. Regular inspection and replacement of tömítbetétek are often part of maintenance schedules to ensure continued reliable performance.
