Gaskets

Here at Bryan Hose & Gasket, we provide builders and architects with gaskets for construction applications that are designed to seal, insulate and reduce sound and thermal transmission. In addition, we have gaskets that are ideal sealing solutions for a variety of construction applications. These include the following: glass &…

Blown head gaskets can happen to anyone. Compression testing is one of the most common ways to see how heavy a load a gasket can take. We will discuss how to compression test a blown head gasket in cars. Blown Head Gasket Compression Testing What is a Blown Head Gasket?…

An O-Ring is a mechanical gasket in the shape of doughnut-shaped ring. O-Rings are ideal for placement in a groove and compression during assembly between two or more parts. It is a loop of elastomer with a round cross-section which creates a seal at the interface. They are one of the…

There are various different ways to determine the functionality of a gasket. However, compression testing is one of the most common ways to see how heavy a load a gasket can take. Therefore, we have put together a few reasons for the importance of compression testing prior to application. Compression…

Gaskets play a huge role in our everyday lives. They are the heart of everything from appliances, engines and more. Gaskets work to prevent the escape of air, water, gas and many other fluids in every commercial and industrial situation imaginable. Because they are significant in the proper operation of…

There are numerous types of non-metallic gaskets commonly used in industrial sectors. Here are the classifications and applications of non-metallic gaskets, as well as some advantages and disadvantages of each. Classifications of Non-Metallic Gaskets Common types of non-metallic gaskets include: Fiber reinforced gaskets Graphite gaskets PTFE gaskets Rubber gaskets Fiber…

A gasket's function is to interpose a semi-plastic material between the flange facings, the material which, through deformation under load seals the minute surface irregularities to prevent leakage of the fluid. Generally, gaskets can be divided into three main categories: Non-metallic gaskets, Semi-metallic gaskets and Metallic gaskets. Many types of…

The majority of manufacturing sectors, including the automotive, aerospace, electronics, appliance and military industries, utilize gaskets in their production methods. Made of deformable material, a gasket is a sealing device usually designed in the form of a ring or sheet. They create a pressure-tight seam between multiple stationary components, relying…

Within different industries, there are plenty of different types of hoses, all of which have various purposes. There isn't really such thing as "the best hose", only a hose that can do its job and do it right. Bryan Hose has possibly every hose you could require to perform your job in the most…

What is a Gasket? According to Wikipedia, "A gasket is a mechanical seal which fills the space between two or more mating surfaces, generally to prevent leakage from or into the joined objects while under compression." Gaskets allow "less-than-perfect" mating surfaces on machine parts where they can fill irregularities. Gaskets…
