Ship sealing strip-Seal Strips Vs Rubber Gaskets
Both Rubber strips and gaskets have different shapes and sizes depending on the purpose of the applications. Let’s introduce the most common rubber shapes and sizes.Seal strips: Seal strips come in many shapes and sizes. The most common rubber shapes are typical d shape rubber seals, double d shape rubber seals, closed D shape rubber seals, t-shape rubber seals, U-shape extrusion NBR nitrile rubber seals, b-shaped, v, h, I, c, J, and x-shaped rubber seal strips. Besides, seal strips have other unique designs for cabinets, windows, and doors as weather stripping. In addition, there are complex shapes specially designed for some applications. Such as seal strips for glass shower doors, car window seals, window rubber strips for marine ships, rubber water stop for concrete joints, EPDM seals for the automotive windshield, heat-resistant extruded rubber sealing strips for automotive parts, windscreen rubber seals, etc.Rubber gaskets: The common rubber gasket shapes are O-rings or circle gaskets, Mickey Mouse gaskets, blanking gaskets, tabbed gaskets, fiber washers, paper gaskets, cylinder head gaskets, rectangular picture frame gaskets, full-faced flange gasket, manifold style gasket. However, gasket design depends on industrial usage, budget, and chemical and physical parameters. Based on these parameters, rubber gaskets have common shapes: sheet gaskets, solid gaskets, spiral wounds, constant seating, double-jacket, cam profile gasket, fishbone, and flange gasket. Other than these, some complex rubber gasket designs are for special applications.
