General

Flat seals are seals which serve the static sealing of two flat sealing surfaces, mostly of two flat flanges being joined by screws. They are used, for example, in the pharmaceutical and food industry and have to resist various media and pressure. In using them, different plant elements are assembled. The classics among the flat seals are O-shaped 2-D seals which you can obtain from Steinbach AG in various sealing materials and sizes ready-to-install.

Condition and standard

Flat seals are manufactured from plates and are available in different shapes. Depending on the type and application, they are subject to the DIN standard series DIN EN 1514 subsequent to DIN EN and DIN EN 12560 subsequent to ANSI/ASME B16.5.

Areas of application

Flat seals are used, for example, in armatures, pumps, valves and pipes in the food, pharmaceutical and chemical industry. Yet they are also applied in various manners in air conditions, dental drills and car engines.

Qualities

Flat seals mainly counted as parts of static sealings are firmly pressed only by external forces. On the one hand they seal up and at the same time they equalize the unevenness of the flanges. Moreover, they are very flexible, wear-resistant and very durable. Yet they do not adjust automatically to the sealing pressure. That means, they are not pressure sensitive. Flat seals are especially suitable for the sealing of solvents, gases, fuels and oils.

Summary of qualities:

  • flexibly usable
  • high number of applications
  • quick and easy installation
  • ready to install
  • quickly to release
  • wear-resistant
  • available in different materials
