Garlock Stress Saver® Gaskets
Since 1996 the Garlock family of companies has successfully sealed low load flanges with their Stress Saver® family of products. The molded raised ribs help to create a tighter seal by concentrating the compressive load, ideal for lightweight piping. This blog will examine five stress saver gaskets that are all available on the Gallagher Fluid Seals website.

Enhancing the surface profile can improve sealing capabilities, extending the functionality of aging piping systems in chemical plants.
There are many aged and aging process plants in operation today. In fact, many of the processing plants for power, chemicals, oil, etc., have been in service for more than 50 years. And while the piping itself may remain intact, their bolted flange gasket joints and connections are becoming misaligned, corroded and damaged due to repeated handling, chemical

Material certifications, seal geometry and even seal color must also be factored in to allow for maximized seal life, minimized risk and reduced total cost of ownership for both the seal and the rotating equipment.
The most challenging operational environments for sealing mixers, agitators and pumps are often found in the food and pharmaceutical industries. When designing, selecting, or implementing a dynamic seal into operation in the food and pharma space, it is crucial to consider

The world has entered a pivotal moment in water treatment, and the challenges continue to worsen as municipalities grapple with the risk of encountering premature failure in elastomeric gaskets. Such a risk brings up several problems, including reduced efficiency, sudden equipment failure, costly maintenance and downtime, and perhaps worst of all — contamination.
Prior to 2013, gasketing products were not subject to the NSF61 (Drinking Water System Components – Health Effects) standard, leaving

What is a tanged gasket?
Tanged gaskets are metal (typically carbon steel or stainless steel) punctured through a perforating process and combined with facing materials (commonly fibers, graphites, and other high-temperature materials). They are usually 3 layers, and the “fingers” or “tangs” in the punctured metal are attached to the facing through a combining process creating a mechanical bond. Oftentimes, no adhesive is required.
