Gaskets and glands

3D modeling and FEM (finite element method) are used during the designing and calculating of each type of glands. At the development stage, multi-stage testing is carried out to determine the static and dynamic tightness, at various temperatures and pressures.
Cylinder head gaskets – must simultaneously provide tightness and chemical resistance in three areas: gasses generated during the combustion of fuel, oils and coolants. For guaranteed tightness, a full or partial coating of the gasket with a special heat-resistant elastomer is used at the interfaces with the cylinders and cooling channels.
