GAS flat gasket - 35mm IVAR.IVPT.HNBR

Product detailed description

Flat gaskets are essential components in press and threaded fittings used in heating, plumbing, and industrial systems. They are commonly found in residential, commercial, and industrial buildings where reliable sealing is required between pipe and fitting connections. Installers working on heating systems, press pipe installations, and industrial gas or fluid transfer lines regularly use these gaskets to ensure leak-free operation. The correct selection and installation of flat gaskets are critical to maintaining system integrity and performance.

In press and threaded systems, flat gaskets are used to create a tight seal between the pipe and the fitting. They are particularly important in systems where temperature and pressure variations occur, as they help prevent leaks and maintain system efficiency. The gasket must be compatible with the system media and operating conditions to ensure long-term reliability.

Technical parameters

Operating temperature	-20 °C
Nominal pressure	PN 10
Code	I003240
Brand	IVAR

The operating temperature range of -20°C to +85°C allows the gasket to be used in a wide range of environments, including cold storage facilities and heated systems. The nominal pressure rating of PN 10 indicates that the gasket is suitable for systems operating at up to 10 bar. These parameters are essential for correctly sizing and selecting the gasket to match the system requirements and ensure long-term performance.

Installation and connection

When installing the flat gasket, it is important to ensure that the pipe and fitting are clean and free from debris. The gasket should be placed in the groove of the fitting before the pipe is pressed or threaded into place. The connection size must be verified to match the system requirements. Common installation mistakes include using a gasket that is not compatible with the system media or failing to ensure a clean connection surface. It is also important to check that the gasket is not damaged during installation, as this can compromise the seal.

Compatibility and accessories

The GAS flat gasket 35mm is compatible with press and threaded fittings used in heating, plumbing, and industrial systems. It is typically used in conjunction with press fittings and threaded connections. When ordering, it is important to ensure that the gasket matches the size and thread type of the fittings being used. No additional accessories are required for standard installations.

Technical background for designers

Flat gaskets function by creating a compressive seal between the pipe and the fitting. The gasket material must be compatible with the system media and operating conditions to ensure long-term performance. The operating temperature range of -20°C to +85°C allows the gasket to be used in a wide range of environments. The nominal pressure rating of PN 10 indicates that the gasket is suitable for systems operating at up to 10 bar. The gasket's performance is influenced by factors such as the quality of the connection, the cleanliness of the surfaces, and the compatibility of the materials used in the system.

Service and operation

Regular inspection of the gasket and connection is recommended to ensure that there are no signs of wear or damage. If the gasket becomes damaged or degraded, it should be replaced to maintain the integrity of the seal. No specific service intervals are provided for this gasket, but it is important to monitor the connection for any signs of leakage or performance issues.

Frequently asked questions

Can the GAS flat gasket be used in industrial gas systems?
Yes, the gasket is suitable for use in industrial gas systems provided that the system media and operating conditions are within the specified parameters.

Is the gasket compatible with press and threaded connections?
Yes, the gasket is designed for use in both press and threaded connections, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.

What is the maximum operating temperature for the gasket?
The maximum operating temperature is +85°C, with a short-term limit of +120°C. The gasket should not be used beyond these limits to avoid degradation.

Can the gasket be used in cold environments?
Yes, the gasket is suitable for use in cold environments with a minimum operating temperature of -20°C. It is important to ensure that the system is properly insulated if operating in very cold conditions.
