Fibre Jointing Sheets

Compressed Asbestos Fibre Jointing Sheets are manufactured from carefully selected chrysotile fibres, intimately blended with suitable heat resisting binders and fillers and vulcanised into sheets of homogenous compositions and uniform thickness. The seal is effected by the yielding, or the flow of the jointing material into the imperfections of the joint contact faces. In this way the gasket provides an unbroken barrier of homogenous structure through which no pathways exist for escape of the confined media. The important factors and characteristics while selecting jointing materials are follows

• Choice of Jointing Grade
• Type of Confined Media
• Flange Surface Finish
• Gasket and Bolt Configuration
• Clamping Pressure
• Choice of Thickness
• Dimensions
• Compressibility
• Recovery
• Stress Relaxation
