oval ring gasket

An elliptical ring gasket, also known as an elliptical sealing ring, is a sealing element with an elliptical cross-section instead of the traditional circular or O-ring cross-section. The shape of elliptical ring gaskets makes them suitable for some special sealing needs, usually used to deal with non-standard or asymmetric sealing surfaces.

The following are some characteristics and applications of elliptical ring washers:

Shape: The cross-sectional shape of an elliptical ring washer is elliptical, usually with different dimensions of the major and minor axes.

Application: This type of gasket is typically used in applications with asymmetric or irregular sealing surfaces. For example, certain mechanical equipment, rotating shafts, valves, and pipeline connections may require elliptical ring gaskets to achieve effective sealing.

Material: Elliptical ring gaskets can be made of various materials, including rubber, silicone rubber, Viton, metal, etc. The specific material selection depends on the application requirements, including temperature, pressure, and medium.

Installation: The correct installation of the elliptical ring gasket is the key to ensuring sealing performance. They should be installed correctly on the sealing surface to ensure effective sealing.

Special requirements: Elliptical ring gaskets are typically used in applications that require non-standard or special shaped seals. If your application requires this type of sealing ring, you may need to collaborate with the manufacturer or supplier to customize an elliptical ring washer that suits your needs.
