Conical shaped rubber washer
When connecting the pipes together, you have to use some type of isolation method to prevent leaking. That is when the conical-shaped rubber washers come in play. In order to connect two pipes, which may have different diameters, you can use these items to make sure that everything is done properly. Other than using them for situations like these, they can be used to protect the edges from mechanical damage, and also for objects that produce vibration to reduce it or to stop the contact with another object to prevent noise and additional damage.
These conical shaped rubber washers are made from rubber because of the many qualities that it has besides being affordable and easy to produce. Firstly, it offers great mechanical resistance and makes everything more durable. Secondly, it serves a great purpose when doing an insulating job, preventing leakage, or just using them to prevent water or dust to get into the object that you are protecting. Thirdly, it reduces the vibration because the rubber absorbs it and when you place it on a different surface you don’t hear or feel the vibration as hard as without using them.
They come in various shapes so you can use them whenever you find a purpose. They might be shaped like rings for circle objects, square forms for objects in that shape, and many more. However, the conical shape is really important because it is flexible for fitment so you can connect two parts with different diameters. Some of these conical-shaped rubber washers come with a locking mechanism or a screw so you can tighten them better and prevent getting loose, and some don’t. You can choose which one you need depending on the situation that you need them for, but keep in mind that they are really important and you can’t finish the job without using them.
Product specifications
- Product form
- Profiled washer for a tapered or beveled seat
- Application focus
- Pipe joints and fastener seals. Size the part against the selected assembly.
- Dimensions to confirm
- Inside diameter, outside diameter and uncompressed thickness. Match these to pipe joints.
- Seat profile
- Dimension both diameters, the taper or bevel and the thickness at the mating seat.
- Profiles discussed
- Square profiles and tapered sections. Select the profile that matches the mating part and dimension that section explicitly.
- Contact conditions
- Water: define concentration, temperature and contact time, then check compatibility with the chosen compound.
- Exposure to evaluate
- Dust or debris. Validate the selected material under the combined conditions.
- Clamped condition
- Define the assembled gap and compressive load so the washer is not over-compressed.
