  PERFECT SURFACE GASKETS
Presenting Rubber Fab’s Perfect
Surface Gasket System. The perfect union of Torque-Rite® and the Perfect Surface Gasket. Torque-Rite® allows you to control compression and expansion while maintaining constant inch/pounds force insuring a Perfect Surface I.D. when used with a Perfect Surface Gasket. Torque-Rite® eliminates the problems associated with over - or under-tightening a gasket which can lead to an unsanitary system.

Illustration of Gasket Damming, Undertightening and the Perfect Surface Gasket System


A: DAMMING
An over-tightened gasket extrudes into the pipe, prevents draining,
and allows deposits to build up behind the gasket.

B: UNDER-TIGHTENING
May allow leakage. Can form concave surfaces at the product side
of the gasket affecting free drainage and cleaning.

C: PERFECT SURFACE GASKET SYSTEM:
Torque-Rite® and Perfect Surface Gasket eliminates the concerns
associated with over- and under-tightening a sanitary gasket.
Insures that gasket I.D. matches pipe I.D.


Problems with over-tightenig or under-tightening a gasket:

Over-tightening can tear or damage a
gasket and can also cause a damming effect inside the pipeline. A torn or extruded gasket can hold soil and bacteria. Under-tightening leaves an undesirable concave area at the gasket allowing soil and bacteria to become entrapped. Both conditions should be avoided in a sanitary system.

Maintaining a “Perfect Surface”
Sanitary System.

By maintaining a constant force on a Perfect Surface Gasket with the Torque- Rite, gasket I.D. is maintained lowering bacteria count and enhancing product integrity. A Perfect Surface sanitary system is assured. Perfect Surface Gasket Benefits:
