Insulation Gaskets for High-Temp and High-Pressure Lines

At RDS, we manufacture insulation gaskets that are easily able to cope with the increased temperature while still maintaining their level of pressure retention. These gaskets help ensure pipes, machines and workers stay safe as long as they are working properly. A mica gasket sheet failure can result in leaks, breaks or worse—a dangerous accident. That’s why selecting the appropriate gasket and knowing where to find the best ones is critical. 

Discover where to source trustworthy high pressure sealing solutions

At RDS we strive to offer our best gaskets that hold up to the most grueling environments. The gaskets must fit snugly, withstand heat and not degrade under pressure. Like, for example, in steel plants or power plants where pipes heat up to high temperatures and have water with an enormous pressure inside. When a fiberglass insulation sheets gasket melts or cracks, it’s big trouble. 

Typical Issues of Insulation Gaskets in High Temperature and High Pressure Situation

Insulation gaskets are subject to numerous challenges in a high heat, high pressure world. One big problem is that the gasket can be damaged by heat. If the temperature is too high, certain gaskets may soften or melt, and no longer be able to seal. A second problem is that pressure can push the gasket out of place or crush it, making leaks. 

Why Use Insulation Gaskets for Safety and Efficiency in High Temp Pipelines

Insulation gaskets are of utmost significance for ensuring a pipeline’s safety and functionality, particularly when that pipeline is designed to contain hot liquids or gases under high pressure. Think of a pipe full of steam or hot oil at temperatures that would burn your hand if you touched the pipe. Without something to cover the pipe joints, leaks may occur or even disastrous accidents. This is where RDS mica sheet insulation gaskets do a lot of work. 

What Material is best for HDP insulation gaskets for high pressure and high temperature? 

The correct selection of materials for insulation gaskets is very important especially when the conduits handle extremely hot fluids/gases at high pressures. The material also must be able to withstand heat without either melting or breaking. It should also stop heat from escaping and leaks. At RDS, we utilize unique materials to design gaskets capable of performing in these most difficult environments.
