Platinum Cured Silicone Gauge Guard Isolator Gasket

Where are Platinum cured silicone gauge guard Isolator gaskets used?

Platinum cured silicone gauge guard Isolator gaskets are the ideal choice for use in production facilities of fine pharmaceutical, biotechnology, high-purity water, injectables, food and beverage products. They are used to protect expensive stainless steel diaphragms and instruments from damage without affecting instrument performance.

Why Choose a Platinum cured silicone gauge guard Isolator gasket?

Due to its smooth finish, platinum cured silicone resists product adhesion. It’s the material of choice in sanitary water systems when PTFE is not feasible due to severely misaligned fittings, or if the cost of high pressure clamps does not outweigh the benefits of PTFE (extended service life).

By combining a quality sanitary gasket with a membrane, the gauge guard isolator gasket isolates hot or caustic saline solution from instrumentation, a necessary and cost effective step in assuring long life and accurate results from your instruments and gauges.

As some manufacturers will suggest the use of a gauge guard gasket, others note that the failure to use a gauge guard gasket can void most instrument and gauge warranties.

Where not to use a Platinum cured silicone gauge guard Isolator gasket
