Linings and seat materials


Elastomers
Elastome.rs ,ue used in valves for a variety o.C
seaJing functions. The bodies of concemric
burredly valves are mostly lined with moulded
seals (sleeves, li11ers or seats). This conscruction
prin­ci pie includes the seat sealing, tht: sha �

This opens up a lar�e number of combinations.


In vacuum applications, it is also possible ro glue
replaceable elasLOmer liners onto the valve body
For better sLabilisation, hut gluing can he unreli­
able, leading to lamination and failure. Alterm1-
tively, elasromers can be vulcanised dh·ecrly o.nio
the body. As a consequence, a high swbility can
be achieved even at a hi�h flow rate and also in
vacuum applications. The Jisadvanrag-e of this
design is that these Lypes of liners cannot be
easily exchanged or repaired.
