The Importance Of Gaskets In Preventing Leaks And Contamination
Gaskets and springs -they sound simple but they are essential materials in leak-proofing of connections. And leak-proofing, whether in spray or any other type of irrigation system, is of utmost concern to the efficient use of water, longevity and overall performance of the irrigation system. Knowing the role they play in effective spray irrigation systems is, therefore, very useful information for keeping the whole system working optimally. Gaskets-what are those, and how do they fit into irrigation? Gaskets are seals made from myriad natural or synthetic materials such as rubbers or metals, which will fit into the space between two surfaces adequately in order to stop liquid or gas escape. Gaskets are satisfactorily connecting pipes, valves and fittings in spray irrigation systems. They hence provide, first and foremost, a watertight joint that prevents water loss as well as undesired contaminants entering the irrigation system. Without all those gaskets, one would have to put...
