Gasket Storage Procedures
When SUPERCHANGER heat exchanger plate gaskets are
maintained as spare parts, it is important that certain storage
procedures be followed to assure that the elastomeric compounds
making up the gaskets do not deteriorate and the useful life of
the gaskets is preserved.
1. Store in an area where the temperature does not exceed 70°F.
The ideal storage temperature is 60°F. NOTE: Never store in
an area where the temperature may fall to or below 32°F.
2. Maintain a maximum of 70% relative humidity.
3.
Store in a darkened room. Ultraviolet light must be avoided.
4. Store gaskets so they are free from tension. Do not store in
a stretched or severely bent condition.
5. All potential sources of Ozone, such as operating electric
motors or welding equipment, must be removed from the
storage area.
6.
Organic solvents, acids, etc. must not be kept in the storage area.
7. Do not store near heating system radiators.
8. Cover or keep the gaskets in bags or boxes to minimize
exposure to air circulation.
9. Keep gaskets free from dust and particulates.
