gasket material

[miggymarky]

Can anyone recommend any places to get some high temp gasket material to put my pump back together as the sealant failed miserably

most motorfactors have varying thickness in stock I have noticed.

Depends what temp/pressure you are talking about, I used to use Golden Walkerite or Klingerit 1000 for steam joints over 1000*F and 2000psi. available in several thicknesses,There is probably a gasket material merchant on an industrial estate near you,they might let you have some off-cuts depending upon the sizes you require,

I use reinz boiler door gasket, comes in lots of thicknesses, you only make one and it lasts forever !!!

 

[Jim_gsxr1000]

Klinger c4430 as a general purpose gasket

How crucial is it exactly I get the correct thickness for these gaskets,as its difficult to get an accurate measurement after being crushed for god knows how many years.

What's the application temp and pressure?

 

[AndyStobbs]

More over is it a gasket in such a position that it will change axial clearances on shafts, depending how thick it is.

Lost me now folks just know its a gasket

Just explain where it goes and what it does mate

Any decent jointing material will not have compressed more than a couple of thou" Mic' up the old joint and it will most likely be near enough the thickness you need to replace it with.

Its for the heads on the pump,2 gaskets on each head,1 below the top cover and another for the head.

Any thickness of paper gasket should do it. Used paper and hermitite on my bock fk3 pump and its still going strong.

I used the klingersil for the heads on my Ingersol rand compressor and it's still runnung fine.
