Is a "thicker" sheet gasket more reliable? The reason that misconception leads to leaks.

The rules and mechanisms for selecting thickness! Introducing useful information.

The "sheet gasket," which is the most familiar sealing material on site, is widely used due to its convenience of being processed with scissors or cutters, such as joint sheets and fluororesin sheets. However, when it comes to its "thickness," are you not deciding it based on a vague feeling? In fact, the belief that "thicker is stronger and safer" for sheet gaskets is a significant misconception. On the contrary, it is not uncommon for overly thick selections of sheet gaskets to cause critical leakage problems precisely because they are sheet gaskets. In this article, we will thoroughly explain why "thin" is recommended for sheet gaskets, as well as the situations where "thick" is necessary, and the criteria for selection. *For detailed content of the column, please refer to the related links.
