Gasket Cutting
Conventional methods should be used when cutting gasket materials; for example, ring cutting
machine, water-jet cutting machine, steel rule -dies, or a TP-tool. The use of grinders, “dull
razors”, or hammers is strongly opposed. For more information regarding the conventional
cutting methods contact your local gasket supplier.
The ability of a gasket material to make and maintain a seal depends not only on the quality of
the gasket material, but also on medium being sealed, the flange design, the amount of
pressure applied to the gasket by the bolts and how the gasket is assembled into the flanges
and tightened.
For product safety information, warranty and damage limitations, refer to the Material Safety
Data Sheet (MSDS).
