Service life expectations will be determined
by the application and the equipment and
process in which it is installed. Some
gaskets will be required to work for the
life of the equipment without replacement
while other gaskets will be replaced every
time that the equipment is maintained.
Cost is always critical, particularly when
trying to keep within a strict maintenance
and operating budget. Any unexpected
and unplanned failure will increase costs
dramatically especially when considering
potential personnel liability costs and loss
of production. Measured against these
two extraordinary costs purchasing the
cheapest gasket could eventually cost
thousands times more than its cost price.
Finally, no gasket will perform correctly if
it is installed badly or if the joint system
is not monitored and maintained. It is
becoming quite common for process plant
operators to provide formal training
for technicians in the correct installation
techniques for bolted joints. EagleBurgmann
provides profound seminars and on-site
training modules to support our customers.
Many companies are now instituting bolted
joint monitoring and maintenance programs
to ensure maximum process
