1. Functions
1)Sealing and Protection:In medical testing equipment, it’s used at pipelines or interfaces. It uses the elasticity and sealing property of the rubber steel gasket. This stops test samples (like blood and body fluids) from leaking. At the same time, it blocks external air and impurities from getting into the internal pipelines of the equipment. This makes sure the testing environment is clean and the test results are accurate. Its sealing effect is the same as the barrier role of Medical Device Seals and Sterile Medical Seals in keeping medical samples intact.
2)Shock Absorption and Cushioning:When the equipment vibrates while working, the rubber steel gasket can work as a cushion. It reduces rigid collisions between metal components. It also reduces the spread of vibrations. This protects the precise internal structure of the equipment. It makes the equipment last longer. It also stops vibrations from affecting the stability of test samples. For example, it avoids air bubbles in sample pipelines—bubbles that might mess up test results. This shock-absorbing performance helps with the functional advantages of Lab Equipment Gaskets in keeping equipment stable.
3)Adaptive Connection:It works as an intermediate connector. It fits pipelines or components of different materials and sizes. The metal outer layer is rigid. This makes sure the connection is strong. The rubber steel gasket is flexible. This helps with sealing and cushioning. Together, they let various equipment components connect more tightly and stably. This makes sure testing processes go smoothly. This adaptability matches the assembly flexibility requirements of Testing Pump Valves and Pump Valves and Sealing Parts for Testing Equipment.
2. Required Characteristics
1)Biocompatibility:It touches medical test samples directly or indirectly. So the overmolding material must have excellent biocompatibility. It’s non-toxic, won’t cause allergies, and won’t irritate. It can’t have chemical reactions with samples. It also can’t contaminate samples. This makes sure test results are real and reliable. This is a basic requirement for all Medical Grade Silicone Seals and Detection Device Seals that touch biological samples.
2)Sealing Performance:It must have great sealing abilities. In different pressure and temperature environments, the rubber steel gasket fits tightly with metal components and pipelines. It stops liquids and gases from leaking effectively. Even after being used for a long time, its sealing performance doesn’t get worse. This sealing reliability is as good as that of Medical Vial Cap Seals and core Medical Seals in important sealing scenarios.
3)Wear Resistance and Durability:The metal outer layer must have good wear resistance. The rubber steel gasket must have high toughness and fatigue resistance. When the equipment is used often and vibrates, it can’t get worn, cracked, or deformed easily. It keeps stable physical and chemical properties. This makes sure the equipment works reliably for a long time. This durability meets the service life standards of Lab Equipment Gaskets and Testing Instrument Sealing Parts in high-frequency use scenarios.
4)Chemical Stability:It must stand reagents, disinfectants, and other substances commonly used in medical testing. The overmolding material can’t be corroded or swollen. The metal outer layer can’t rust. It keeps stable performance in complex chemical environments. It doesn’t affect testing processes or results. This stability meets the material standards of Pump Valves and Sealing Parts for Testing Equipment in harsh medical testing environments.
5)Dimensional Precision:It must have high dimensional accuracy. It also fits well with equipment pipelines and interfaces. Parameters like the thickness of the rubber steel gasket and the size of the metal component strictly meet design requirements. This makes sure there are no gaps or looseness after installation. It achieves stable connection and sealing. This dimensional precision matches the accuracy requirements of Testing Pump Valves and Detection Device Seals.
6)Ease of Cleaning and Disinfection:Its surface is smooth. This makes cleaning easy. It can stand common medical disinfection methods. Like high-temperature and high-pressure sterilization and chemical disinfection. After disinfection, it leaves no residues or deformation. It can be used again quickly. This meets the high-frequency disinfection needs of medical testing equipment. It also meets the hygiene standards of Sterile Medical Seals and other medical components in testing environments.
