Gasket materials aluminum

Demountable joints are commercially available in great variety in stainless steel, but less so in aluminum alloy or related materials. Experimental joints have been made in which aluminum flanges employ aluminum foil as gasket material. 

Plates are available in a wide range of metals and alloys, including stainless steel, aluminum, and titanium. A variety of gasket materials is also used see Table 12.8. 

Carbon steel, stainless steel. Monel , and HasteUoy C are preferred materials for handling arsine brass and aluminum should be avoided. Kel-F and Teflon are preferred gasket materials Viton and Nylon are acceptable. 

Metallic and nonmetallic gasket materials, such as carbon steel or stainless steel spiral-wound and aluminum, are suitable for ammonia service. Some fluorocarbon plastic materials and neoprene have also been found suitable. Check with the gasket manufacturer to ensure compatibility with ammonia. 

The mounting cup (fermle for bottle valves) mechanically joins the valve to the container. The mounting cup may be made from a variety of materials, but is typically tinplated steel or aluminum coated on the underside. It contains the gasket that provides the seal. Soft gasketing material is applied wet and bonded in place or, more frequently in larger cans, cut rubber, polyethylene, or polypropylene gaskets are used. 

Teflon, although unaffected by contact with fluorine under static conditions, does not hold up in contact with fluorine flow. At the low temperatures it is also difficult to maintain seals with these materials. Materials for this kind of service are still needed. Soft metal gaskets of aluminum or copper are generally used for flange joints. 

Commercial-grade nitroparaftins are shipped and stored ia ordinary carbon steel. However, wet nitroparaftins containing more than 0.1—0.2% water may become discolored when stored ia steel for long periods, even though corrosion is not excessive. Aluminum and stainless steel are completely resistant to corrosion by wet nitroparaftins. Storage ia contact with lead (qv), copper, or alloys containing these metals should be avoided. Polymeric materials for gaskets, hoses, and connections should be tested for thek suitabiHty before exposure to nitroparaftins. 

Physicochemical Properties of Biodiesel. - The redox characteristics of biodiesel make it a reducing agent for materials, such as brass, bronze, cooper, lead, tin and zinc. For this reason, contact of biodiesel with these materials must be avoided.Materials such as aluminum, steel, fluorinated polymers and Teflon do not react with biodiesel and can be used to handle it. In addition, biodiesel shows mild solvent properties hence, biodiesel contact with painted or varnished surfaces as well as rubber devices, such as hoses, seals and gaskets, may cause problems. 

The materials used in propane dispensers include steel, wrought iron, brass, and aluminum. Dispensing nozzles are made from aluminum, brass, and steel. Few elastomer gaskets are used in propane systems—most are aluminum or steel. Propane dispensing systems should incorporate filters to prevent debris and heavy oils from being pumped into the vehicle fuel tank. 

The sample is poured into a cavity in a single or double sector centerpiece, made of an aluminum alloy or an epoxy resin material [Fig. 13.9(h)]. The centerpiece is fitted with transparent windows made of quartz, or sapphire if high g forces are required. A cell housing (with related parts including spacers, gaskets and screw rings) that holds the cell assembly fits into the ultracentrifuge rotor. A simplified... 

The metering valve in an MDI is the critical component in the design of an effective delivery system. The main function of the metering valve is to reproducibly deliver a portion of the liquid phase of the formulation in which the medication is either dissolved or dispersed. The valve also forms the seal atop the canister to prevent loss of the pressurized contents. The valves generally comprise at least seven components that are constructed from a variety of inert materials. Typical materials of construction are acetal or polyester for the valve body, stainless steel or acetal for the valve stem, generally anodized aluminum for the ferrule, and butyl, nitrile, or neoprene for the elastomers used in the seals and gaskets [43],... 

An aerosol container consists of a number of components. The container may be constructed of aluminum or coated aluminum (to prevent interactions with the product). Other materials have been employed, including tinplate, glass, plastic-coated glass, and polycarbonate. The valve that is attached to the opening of the container may be constructed of aluminum or tinplate, in the main, with additional components, such as valve stem and gaskets, being made of a variety of polymers or rubbers [1,3-5].
