Pressed Carbon Steel Gaskets - A Key Element of the Installation

Press-fit carbon steel seals are an essential component in modern installation systems.   They ensure tightness of connections and protect against leaks. In our daily practice, we see a growing interest in these products. This is due to their reliability and ease of installation.

Onninen's offer includes a wide selection of seals for various applications. Products from renowned brands such as Vesbo and Kan-Therm are available. Each of them offers solutions tailored to specific needs. Customers often ask us about the right selection of seals. It is crucial to take into account the specifics of the installation and working conditions.

Types of gaskets for pressed carbon steel

The assortment includes various types of seals. The most popular are:

• O-Rings FPM/Viton
• O-Rings LBP FPM/Viton
• FPM/Viton flat seals
• O-Rings LBP EPDM
• O-Rings for EPDM fittings
• Green FPM O-Rings for Carbo-Inox

Each type of gasket has its own unique properties and applications.   FPM/Viton O-Rings perform well at high temperatures. FPM/Viton flat seals provide excellent chemical resistance. LBP EPDM O-Rings are ideal for drinking water installations.

Our experience shows that the right choice is crucial. An ill-fitting gasket can lead to failure and expensive repairs. That is why we always recommend consulting our specialists. They will help you choose the optimal solution.

Criteria for selecting gaskets for pressed carbon steel

When selecting seals, there are several important factors to consider:

• Type of medium in the installation
• Operating temperature
• Working pressure
• Chemical resistance
• Compliance with standards and certificates

The correct selection of seals ensures long-term and failure-free operation of the system.   For domestic water installations, we recommend EPDM O-Rings. For heating systems, FPM/Viton seals will work well. For industrial installations, green FPM O-Rings are often chosen.

We recently used Kan-Therm seals in a project for a large manufacturing plant. They proved to be excellent in a demanding industrial environment. The customer appreciated their durability and reliability. This is an example of how important the right choice is.

Installation and operation of pressed carbon steel seals

Correct installation of seals is crucial for their effectiveness. Onninen recommends using dedicated tools and techniques. This ensures optimal fit and tightness of connections. It is worth remembering a few rules:

Always check the condition of the gasket before installation. A damaged one can lead to leaks.   Make sure surfaces are clean and free from contamination. Use appropriate assembly lubricant if required. Follow recommended torque.

In everyday use, seals do not require special maintenance. However, regular inspections of the installation are advisable. They allow you to detect any problems at an early stage. In the event of leakage or damage, replacing the seal is necessary.

Many customers ask us about the lifespan of seals. It depends on many factors. When selected and installed correctly, seals can last for many years. In extreme conditions, more frequent replacement may be necessary. We always recommend individual evaluation of each installation.

In the case of reorganization of the installation, it is most often necessary to replace the seals. This is a good practice, ensuring the safety and reliability of the system. Our experts will be happy to advise on the selection of new seals.

Press-fit carbon steel gaskets are a key element of modern installations.   Their proper selection and installation are of great importance. At Onninen, we offer not only high-quality products, but also professional advice. We invite you to contact our specialists. They will help you choose the optimal solutions for each project.
