Case Study
Water Pump: Select-a-Seal Durability and Robustness
Rubber Coated Metal (RCM)
A study of a nitrile-coated steel gasket for a water pump revealed significant differences in durability under different flange thicknesses and bolt torques.
The Select-a-Seal® gasket exhibited much more consistent performance over a range of conditions — demonstrating its flexibility in providing a durable, robust solution.
