Keeping Hydrogen under Control – AFM 34 Flange Gaskets for Shielding Gas Installations in Steel Heat Treatment Plants
The challenge Safe supply and removal of hydrogen: Hydrogen is used as shielding gas in industrial furnaces when annealing steel, e.g. normalizing and recrystallizing, in order to obtain a uniform microstructure with optimum strength and working properties. Due to its unusually high diffusivity, hydrogen is difficult to seal. Moreover, it is highly flammable, and with atmospheric oxygen it forms explosive oxyhydrogen gas. Therefore, utmost safety is required.

 

The solution from VICTOR REINZ

Uncompromising gas tightness plus safety – AFM 34. Outstanding mechanical strength combined with excellent gas tightness. For example, AFM 34 provides more than 1000 times better sealing than required by the German TA-Luft (Technical Guidelines on Air Quality) for volatile organic compounds. What‘s more, it has received numerous approvals. That‘s a guarantee for safety – with hydrogen and in many other applications.
