In demanding industrial environments, ensuring both structural integrity and electrical insulation is a constant challenge. RDS Composite provides a specialized range of high-performance flange and gasket kits designed to thrive under extreme conditions.
Advanced Composite Structure for Maximum Reliability
Our gaskets feature a unique composite design: high-strength epoxy resin insulating sheets (G10/G11) bonded to both sides of a stainless steel core. This innovative design maintains the steel's structural integrity while providing exceptional insulation.
The stainless steel plate serves as the base material, providing stable structural support and giving the gasket enough compressive resistance to adapt to mechanical impacts during installation. By adhering the insulation layers to the steel, we block current conduction without compromising strength, effectively preventing hazards like electrical leakage.
Material Excellence: Choosing Between G10 and G11
Selecting the right insulation material is critical for the stable operation of electrical equipment. At RDS Composite, we offer two core materials to meet different environmental requirements:
- G10 Epoxy Fiberglass (Class F): This material features a thermal index of 155°C. It provides stable electrical insulation and excellent mechanical strength, making it ideal for the insulation requirements of conventional electrical equipment.
- G11 Epoxy Fiberglass (Class H): For more stringent environments, G11 offers a thermal index of up to 180°C. It has a water absorption rate of nearly zero after 24-hour immersion and maintains superior dielectric properties even under high-temperature and high-humidity conditions.
Innovative Spring-Loaded PTFE Seals
Traditional seals can struggle with pressure fluctuations, but our kit incorporates a custom spring-loaded Teflon (PTFE) sealing ring. PTFE inherently possesses high-temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, and low friction.
When combined with specialized springs, it creates a "tightening effect with increasing pressure". The spring provides an initial preload to ensure zero leakage under low-pressure or vacuum conditions. Furthermore, the spring’s elastic deformation compensates for minor misalignments caused by installation or vibration, ensuring stable sealing performance throughout the equipment's lifecycle.
Key Advantages for Industrial Applications
Why choose RDS Composite kits for your infrastructure? Our high-performance gaskets offer several technical advantages:
- Extreme Condition Resilience: Capable of withstanding large bending moments, high vibrations, and extreme pressures.
- Corrosion Resistance: Suitable for corrosive environments containing high concentrations of CO2, H2S, and produced water.
- Cathodic Protection: Provides excellent insulation to prevent electrochemical corrosion between different metal flanges.
- Surface Protection: The gasket's inner diameter matches the flange dimensions, protecting the surface from medium corrosion and flow erosion while preventing turbulence.
-
Universal Compatibility: Our kits can be made according to any flange standard and are compatible with RF, FF, and RTJ type flanges.
