Gasket
The gasket is compressed between the ferrules by a tri-clamp, ensuring a tight connection. Gasket selection is crucial for achieving this seal.
Description
Mechanical seal that fills the space between two mating surfaces to prevent leakage.
Function:
- Gaskets act as a seal to prevent leakage between mating surfaces.
- They can compensate for minor irregularities in the surfaces.
Tri-Clamp Fittings:
- Gaskets are a key component of tri-clamp fittings, along with ferrules and a clamp.
- Proper gasket selection and installation are crucial for a leakproof connection.
