What are custom flat gaskets
Custom flat gaskets are flat sealing components manufactured according to specific dimensions or drawings. These gaskets are produced when standard flat gaskets do not meet the dimensional or functional requirements of an application.
Custom flat gaskets are often referred to as gaskets cut to size or flat gaskets made to specification, as they are designed to match the exact interface between two components.
When do you need custom flat gaskets
Custom flat gaskets are required when predefined gasket sizes do not provide a reliable seal. This typically applies to non-standard flanges, unique interfaces or assemblies with tight dimensional tolerances.
In such cases, flat gaskets cut to size ensure proper fit, consistent sealing performance and repeatable results across installations.
Materials used for custom flat gaskets
Custom flat gaskets can be manufactured from various materials depending on the application requirements. Common options include rubber, silicone rubber and selected plastic materials, chosen based on sealing behaviour, durability and compatibility with the operating environment.
Applications of custom flat gaskets
Custom flat gaskets are used in a wide range of industrial and technical assemblies. Typical applications include housings, covers, flanged connections and interfaces where flat, application-specific sealing solutions are required.
