TorrLid 297
Description
This highly specialised product features a resilient, hollow-centred elastomeric core that resists higher temperatures than the ethylene-propylene used in TorrLid 162B. The core is over-braided with a jacket of filament glass yarns, and the exterior surface is then coated with a layer of grey-coloured silicone rubber.
Prime features
- Developed as a higher temperature vacuum seal for the lids of crucibles as used in specific aluminium smelting plants.
- Readily withstands the temperatures and compressive forces involved.
- Tough silicone rubber coating provides abrasion resistance.
- Withstands repeated opening/closing cycles.
Typical applications
This well-proven product is used as a vacuum lid seal for crucibles containing molten aluminium. It is particularly popular with aluminium plants in the southern hemisphere.
Service capabilities - Static duties with crucible lids
Maximum working temperature: Suitable for holding a vacuum over molten aluminium in crucibles.
Please consult James Walker
Pressure range: From partial vacuum up to 0.9MPa
How supplied
Manufactured to order, in a wide variety of sections and lengths, to meet customers' specific requirements. Full fitting instructions are included.
