The main considerations are: temperature, pressure, medium characteristics, combined with the performance of the gasket, there are recommendations in the standard specifications that can be preferred, and the choice is made after comprehensive consideration.
(1) Focus on temperature and pressure to ensure that the gasket has sufficient strength and toughness to withstand the corresponding pressure and temperature;
(2) Consider the compatibility with the medium, such as whether the rubber pad will swell or soften;
(3) The shrinkage of the gasket should be considered in low temperature conditions, and the creep resistance performance should be considered in high temperature conditions;
(4) For alternating loads, consider whether the gasket has good resilience and recovery, and metal ring gaskets or toothed gaskets can be used;
(5) Refer to the engineering experience under similar working conditions for harsh working conditions;
(6) For low temperature and low pressure, non-metallic flat pads are used more, metal pads for high temperature and high pressure, and winding pads for medium pressure;
(7) When several kinds are available, choose the common and easy-to-purchase ones in the market, which are economical and reasonable.
