Gaskets and Gasketed Joints


Book Description

Bringing together decades of research findings into a single, coherent source, this practical guide discusses industrial, automotive, and chemical gasket types and materials from selection, installation, and testing to applications and problem-solving and prevention methods. The coverage includes, but is not limited to, the complex mechanical and leakage behavior of gaskets and gasketed joints; instructions for choosing proper gaskets based on hands-on experience and a computer-based selection approach; evaluation of mehods for testing gaskets; comparisons of flanged joint design rules for the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code using the Taylor Forge form; and more.




Gaskets and Gasketed Joints, Second Edition


Book Description

Gaskets and Gasketed Joints, Second Edition is an extensive revision of a book that brought together decades of research findings into a single, coherent source. Beginning with a review of the various types of gaskets, including industrial and chemical, it then moves to evaluating and testing them. These tests range from searching for high cycle vibrating service to the ones responsible for shell and tube heat exchange. The results allow for the selected, specified, and qualified gaskets to be discussed in detail, including an analysis of their behavior. The newest technology behind assembling, operating, and repairing vessel joints concludes the revision.

Gasket: Design, Selection, and Testing


Book Description

Don't Blow A Gasket. . . Pick up Daniel E. Czernik's Gasket Handbook instead and arm yourself with all the know-how you need to design dependable, environment-friendly, long-lasting, high-performance gaskets. It's the only guide to cover design, selection, performance, efficiency, reliability, and testing of every type of ``static'' seal gasket: chemical, o-ring, metallic, and non-metallic. You'll find all the latest ASME codes, the proposed new ASME gasket constants, and in-depth explanations of: initial seal creation; seal maintenance; stress distribution testing; gasket design and environmental conditions; gasket installation; joint and gasket design and selection; sealing enhancements; rubber gaskets; failure mode and effects analysis; o-ring seals; finite element analysis; computers and gaskets; chemical gaskets; and more.
