Which gasket to choose for fuels, crude oil, gasoline and petroleum-based substances
In applications involving the transport, storage and processing of fuels, crude oil, gasoline and petroleum-based substances, the selection of appropriate sealing materials is extremely important. In such environments, the medium often has an aggressive chemical effect, and operating conditions – such as variable pressure, temperature or the presence of hydrocarbons – place high demands on gasket sheets.
In this blog, you will learn which gasket to use for crude oil, gasoline and petroleum-based substances.
Range of gasket sheets used for media: crude oil, gasoline, etc.
For this type of application, we can use a wide range of specialised sealing materials, such as:
|
General-purpose sheet with good chemical resistance |
Dedicated for use with oils, fuels and petroleum substances |
High-quality sheet for use in demanding conditions |
Among the materials listed, the GAMBIT AF-OIL gasket is very often chosen by customers for applications involving fuels. Its structure and chemical composition have been optimised for resistance to contact with mineral oils, gasoline, diesel fuel and other petroleum-based substances, and it is also favourably priced.
Alternative solutions for crude oil and gasoline
In addition to GAMBIT sheets, other proven materials, e.g. from TEMAC or KLINGER, also perform excellently, particularly in environments containing crude oil or its derivatives.
Below are photos of example gaskets:
|
TEMASIL NG
A sheet with very good chemical and thermal resistance, often used in petrochemical installations. |
KLINGERSIL C-4400
A universal gasket sheet with high resistance to hydrocarbons and durability in long-term operation. |
What should you consider when choosing the right seal for crude oil, gasoline and petroleum products?
1) Price is important. When you do not have to, do not overpay. We will select the most cost-effective option for you.
2) Quality. Choose a gasket that will withstand the parameters of your installation: medium, pressure and size.
3) Check whether the gasket has a quality certificate according to EN10204-3. This certificate is not always necessary, but it is recommended.
