GORE® Gasket Tape is a 100% ePTFE form-in-place gasket that delivers worry-free sealing performance for large steel flanges (Series 500) and large glass-lined steel equipment (Series 1000). While this product has a number of advantages, a few years ago, GORE® made a significant design change in the adhesive size to ensure easier placement and handling of their proprietary gasket tape.

Gaskets have tolerances on their key attributes. The tolerances are dictated by a combination of material characteristics and manufacturing processes. If you want your new gasket to seal properly, it's important to understand how these tolerances work and if they are within your parameters.
Key Gasket Attributes
Dimensions are often critical for sealing devices. However, unless a gasket goes in a channel, the
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.
The Importance of Sealing Your Valves - Brewery Edition
You've probably seen the video. A Minnesota brewery worker had an unexpected surprise when a stream of beer exploded out of a brewery container, sending him flying backwards.

Choosing the Correct Semi-Metallic Gasket
There are many variations of semi-metallic gasket available in today's market. The combination of metal and a soft gasket material merges
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
Flange gasket storage is often an after-thought for many of our customers. While incorrect gasket installation procedures is the #1 culprit when it comes to gasket failure, gasket storage can play a large role in the quality of the gasket being installed.
