Emili Sunyé is an Applications Engineer at EPIDOR and has more than 15 years of experience as a sealing expert. Specialized in failure analysis in industrial applications, he brings his technical knowledge to optimize the performance and reliability of the systems.
The selection of the right material for valve seats is crucial to ensure valve sealing and performance. This analysis is part of the set of technical contents we have already dedicated to valves, where we review from valve sealing solutions to the use of certified O-rings for valves and the behavior of elastomers resistant to aggressive fluids. In this article we review the materials most commonly used in valve seats, explaining their mechanical, chemical and thermal properties, as well as the most common...
In our previous article, we discussed how insufficient flange tightening can cause problems in piping systems. In this second part, we will explore another common issue: bad flanges and how to select the right gasket materials for different damage, pressure and temperature conditions to maintain system functionality and cost-effectiveness. Importance of flanges in sealing systems
Flanges are essential components in sealing systems, as they ensure the connection between different pipe sections and equipment. With the...
How does the PFAS restriction affect manufacturers and users of sealing related products? Does this restriction mean that PFASs are banned?
As a company committed to innovation and a commitment to safety and the environment, last May we held a webinar discussing the latest developments on PFAS / PFOH in the face of the EU ban on PFAS. What are PFASs? PFASs, perfluorinated and polyfluorinated alkyl substances, are a group of approximately 10,000 synthetic laboratory chemicals that are used in the...
Have you ever encountered leaks in your piping system due to flange problems?
Flanges in pipelines are critical components in any static sealing equipment (together with fasteners and gaskets, they form the sealing triangle), so they require proper care and maintenance to ensure a tight seal and avoid unwanted leaks.
If in a previous post we talked about why flat gasket failures occur, in this article we focus on the most common causes of problems in pipe flanges: the tightening...
