Abstract:
The present disclosure is directed to a method of welding a gasket (14) to a spigot portion (18) of a pipe section (14). The method includes supporting the gasket (14) in a recess (24) on the spigot portion (18) of the pipe section (14). The gasket (20) includes a seating portion and a sealing portion. The sealing portion includes a first shoulder portion and a second shoulder portion. A first bonding portion extends from the first shoulder portion and a second bonding portion extends from the second shoulder portion. The first bonding portion and the second bonding portion are provided to bond the gasket (14) to the spigot portion (18). The method further includes heating a portion of the gasket (14) and an adjacent surface of the spigot portion (18) and applying a force onto the portion of the gasket (14) following the application of heat to fuse the gasket (14) onto the spigot portion (18).
Abstract:
A manufacturing method of a gasket (126) adhering to a resin member (125), the method includes: mixing a plurality of liquid materials stored separately; and molding the gasket that is made of a mixture of the plurality of liquid materials. The mixture constitutes a liquid silicone-rubber composition that contains a base resin, a crosslinking agent, a curing catalytic agent, a hydrophilic silica filler, and a silane-coupling agent. The hydrophilic silica filler and the silane-coupling agent are contained in different liquid materials before the plurality of liquid materials are mixed
Abstract:
The present invention improves the handling properties of a rubber-only gasket and the affixability thereof to an attachment position. To this end, the provided gasket is: obtained by combining a gasket body of the rubber-only type, and a carrier sheet that comprises a resin film and holds the gasket body in an un-adhered state; and characterized in that the gasket body is provided with an adhesive section or bonding section for adhering or bonding the gasket body to an attachment position when attaching the gasket body to the attachment position. The adhesive section or bonding section is prepared by providing the lateral surface of the gasket body with a projecting section, and coating the surface of the projecting section with an adhesive or bonding agent. The gasket body is to be used as a gasket for a fuel cell to be incorporated into a fuel cell stack.
Abstract:
Provided is a composition for a gas seal member that can form a gas seal member capable of sufficiently suppressing both the occurrence of overflow fracture and the occurrence of blister fracture. The disclosed composition for a gas seal member is a composition for a gas seal member that contains an elastomer and a fibrous carbon nanostructure. The fibrous carbon nanostructure includes single-walled carbon nanotubes and the fibrous carbon nanostructure is contained in a proportion of at least 0.1 parts by mass and no greater than 12 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of elastomer.
Abstract:
A housing kit (90) includes a housing body (20) and a ventilation member (10). The housing body (20) has a vent hole (21). The ventilation member (10) has a leg portion (26). The leg portion (26) is a portion adapted to be inserted into the vent hole (21). The housing body (20) has an inner peripheral surface (23) that defines the vent hole (21). The inner peripheral surface (23) includes a first rounded segment (23 R1 ), a first straight segment (23 S1 ), a second rounded segment (23 R2 ), and a second straight segment (23 S2 ) that are formed in order from an exterior space (24) side to an interior space (22) side of the housing body (20). The first rounded segment (23 R1 ) and the second rounded segment (23 R2 ) each form a curve convex toward a central axis (O) of the vent hole (21) in a cross section of the housing body (20) including the central axis (O). The first straight segment (23 S1 ) and the second straight segment (23 S2 ) each form a straight line in this cross section.
Abstract:
Described is a mobile phase fitting having reduced corrosion and erosion. The fitting includes a coupling body, compression screw, compression member and gasket. The coupling body has a threaded bore at one end, a tapered cavity, a narrow bore and a fluid channel. The compression screw has an axial bore to receive a tube and a threaded outer surface in engagement with the threaded bore of the coupling body. The compression member is disposed in the tapered cavity and has an axial opening to pass the tube and a tapered surface to engage a surface of the tapered cavity. The gasket is disposed in the narrow bore and has one surface in contact with the first internal surface and has a parallel surface to receive an end face of the tube. Mobile phase flows along a path that includes the tube, an opening in the gasket and the fluid channel.
