Tömítlapok

Tömítlapok, often translated as sealing sheets or gasket sheets, are essential components used in various industries to prevent leakage of fluids or gases between mating surfaces. These sheets are typically made from a variety of materials, chosen based on the specific application's requirements for temperature, pressure, chemical resistance, and mechanical properties. Common materials include rubber, compressed non-asbestos fiber (CNAF), PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene), graphite, and various metallic compositions.

The function of a tömítlap is to create a tight seal when compressed between two components, such as flanges on pipes, engine parts, or equipment housings. This compression deforms the gasket material, filling any imperfections on the mating surfaces and creating a barrier. The thickness and flexibility of the tömítlap are critical factors in its sealing ability.

The selection of the appropriate tömítlap material is paramount to ensuring effective and long-lasting sealing. Factors to consider include the type of medium being sealed (e.g., water, oil, chemicals, steam), the operating temperature range, the pressure the seal will experience, and the potential for vibration or mechanical stress. Incorrect material selection can lead to premature failure of the seal, resulting in leaks, equipment damage, and safety hazards. Tömítlapok are manufactured in various shapes and sizes, often cut from larger sheets or pre-formed into specific gasket designs.
