GORE 1000 Series Gasket Tape
Manufacturer: Gore (日本ゴア)
Made in Japan
Model: 1000 Series
Overview of 1000 Series
Chemical processors use glass-lined steel pipe and equipment to deal with aggressive media under demanding conditions. Yet the inherent demands of such systems can make it challenging to maintain a tight, lasting seal and prevent leaks that can pose hazards to the equipment, and to the working environment.
GLASS-LINED STEEL SEALING CHALLENGES
- High temperatures
- Alternating system pressures
- Limited gasket loads
- Deviations in flanges / sealing surfaces
GORE GASKET TAPE SERIES 1000
GORE Gasket Tape Series 1000 addresses all the challenges of reliably sealing large glass-lined flanges. Made of 100% expanded PTFE (ePTFE), this highly conformable sealant tape is chemically inert, and highly resistant to creep, cold flow and clamp-force loss. Its proprietary barrier core maintains an extra-tight seal even at low loads.
- Highly creep resistant, to maintain gasket load
- Highly conformable, to seal surface deviations
- Barrier core for extra tightness at low loads
- Chemically-inert 100% ePTFE protects full width of flange
Applications
GORE Gasket Tape Series 1000 offers the performance and versatility to reliably seal a range of industrial glass-lined equipment, in diverse applications with harsh process conditions.
- Processes that use highly-aggressive media, for example, in the chemical processing or mining and minerals industries.
- Any glass-lined columns, mixer vessels, or reactor, storage and receiver tanks with glass-lined steel flanges that are large (≥ DN600/ASME 24”) or non-standard.
APPLICATIONS FOR GORE GASKET TAPE SERIES 1000
Performance Benefits
With Gore’s advanced ePTFE material technology and its proprietary barrier core, our Series 1000 gasket tape enables high-performance, high-reliability sealing.
Why consider ePTFE tape
Unique barrier core technology
- Barrier core engineered to amplify the available load.
- Seals more than 10 times tighter than other ePTFE gasket tapes. (Especially important where glass-lined reactor safety is a consideration.)
Outstanding conformability to deviations
- Seals deviations even at low gasket stress.
- Easily passes the bubble test, for trouble-free mechanical completion (MC) or start-up.
Optimal form for easy handling
- Gasket can be customized on-site.
- No fabrication lead-time required.
- Convenient spool format simplifies and speeds handling & transport.
- Adhesive backing enables easy installation in ambient temperatures from 2–50 °C (36–122 °F).
- Faster, less complicated shimming tape technique for larger deviations.
- Reduces inventory costs.
Reliable and long-term seal
- Barrier core creates a tight seal that impedes even highly-permeating media.
- Provides chemical protection across the full flange width (100% ePTFE).
- Tape is engineered to resist creep and clamp-force loss.
- Allows full use of specification range of the glass-lined steel equipment.
- Enables longer maintenance cycles, as demanded by leading chemical producers.
