260 °C, 500 °C or even 1,000 °C? Temperature may seem to provide a clear answer when selecting a gasket. In practice, however, it is only one part of the decision. PTFE offers excellent resistance to many chemicals. Graphite withstands significantly higher temperatures and adapts well to irregularities in the flange surface. However, both materials […]

When a flange connection starts leaking, the first reaction is often simple: tighten the bolts again. It feels practical. It feels fast. And sometimes, the visible leak even disappears. But that does not mean the problem is solved. In many cases, retightening only hides the real cause of leakage. The connection may still be unevenly

In one of the world’s most advanced research environments, absolute reliability is everything. The Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron (DESY) in Hamburg is a global leader in particle accelerator and photon science. At its facilities – including PETRA III, FLASH, and the European XFEL – scientists study the structure of matter at the atomic level. Their work pushes
