Tömítkeret

Tömítkeret is a Hungarian term that translates to "gasket frame" or "sealing frame" in English. It refers to a component designed to create a seal between two surfaces, preventing the leakage of fluids or gases. These frames are typically constructed from materials that can withstand the operating conditions, such as rubber, silicone, metal, or composite materials. The specific design of a tömítkeret depends heavily on its intended application.

In automotive engineering, tömítkeret can be found in engines to seal components like the cylinder head or oil pan. In industrial machinery, they are used in pumps, valves, and pipelines to ensure containment. The effectiveness of a tömítkeret relies on its ability to maintain a consistent pressure and conform to the mating surfaces. Factors such as temperature, pressure, and the chemical nature of the substances being sealed influence the material selection and design of the tömítkeret.

Proper installation is crucial for the function of a tömítkeret. Incorrect fitting can lead to premature failure and leakage. Over time, the sealing material may degrade due to exposure to heat, chemicals, or mechanical stress, necessitating replacement. The term is generally used in technical contexts where precise sealing is a critical requirement for the proper functioning of a system.
