When it comes to sealing fluids, gases, and media at medium temperatures and pressures, Alapin Flange Gaskets take the lead. These gaskets are your go-to choice for their versatility, affordability, and remarkable performance. Here's why Alapin Gaskets could be the solution for your sealing needs:
Exceptional Compatibility
Alapin Flange Gaskets boast remarkable compatibility with a wide range of substances, including oils, hydrocarbons, lubricants, fuels, water, and steam. Whether you're dealing with everyday liquids or challenging media, these gaskets have you covered.
High-Temperature Resilience
Need to seal steam at up to 255°C or other fluids at temperatures reaching 340°C? Alapin Flange Gaskets can handle it.
Their ability to endure extreme temperatures ensures reliable performance in various applications.
Tailored for Australian Needs
Alapin Gaskets are precision-cut in our Australian facilities and we ensure they are made to suit the requirements of whichever flange specification your order them too.
This meticulous attention to detail guarantees a perfect fit for your specific flange configuration.
Full-Face or Ring Face (aka Raised Face) Gaskets Available
We can produce Alapin Gaskets to suit your needs. Sometimes a specific application demands Full Face or Ring Face Gaskets. Other times it is a preference. Either way we can manufacture to suit your requirements.
Alapin Gasket Material
Alapin is a top-quality, industrial-grade compressed non-asbestos fibre (CNAF) gasket material. It combines mineral fibres with genuine DuPont Kevlar Aramid Fibres, bonded together with Nitrile Butadiene Rubber (NBR). The result is a gasket sheet with outstanding flexibility, compressibility, sealing performance, and recovery.
Temperature Resistance
Alapin's temperature resistance depends on factors like pressure and the sealed media.
Generally, it can handle continuous temperatures of up to 340°C for non-steam applications, with short-term peaks of 375°C.
For sealing steam, it reliably performs up to 255°C.
Chemical Compatibility
Alapin Industrial Gasket Material is compatible with a wide range of substances, including water, steam, oils, fuels, kerosene, salt solutions, natural gas, lubricants, refrigerants, and moderate organic and inorganic acids. Its versatility ensures it suits diverse applications.
Medium Sealing Pressures
Alapin can handle a maximum operating pressure of 12 MPa, up to about 170°C (with reduced capacity at higher temperatures). Refer to the Alapin pT Diagram for specific pressure-temperature guidelines.
Excellent Sealing Characteristics
Alapin exhibits exceptional sealing traits, including a density of 2 g/cm³, compressibility of 10% (ASTM F 36), recovery of 55% (ASTM F 36), and more. It maintains its integrity even when exposed to various substances, making it a reliable choice.
