Energy and Utility Infrastructure Gaskets for gas and water distribution, power generation, and power plants.
Designed to meet the regulatory requirements of critical utility infrastructure and demanding operating conditions. With verified performance data, standard-compliant design, and project specific validation, we ensure permanent leak-tight connections in networks, facilities, and power plants.
Challenges in utility infrastructure #
Gaskets in gas, water, and energy systems are not standard components, but rather safety-critical parts that must meet regulatory requirements, durability testing, and ensure complete batch traceability. With increasing pressure from laws, gas and water regulations, verifiable quality is becoming a must.
Critical requirements in practice #
Lightning current carrying capacity according to DIN 30691
Batch traceability according to DIN 30690-1
DVGW-G 491-compliant equipotential bonding
Media resistance [natural gas, drinking water, H2]
Suitability for corrosive and cryogenic media
Test reports from accredited institutes [e.g., BAM]
Gas tightness
Standard-compliant labeling and documentation
Risk reduction under alternating loads and/or pressure surges
