  2. Vulcanised rubber seals for industrial applications (KQ17602)

Vulcanised rubber seals for industrial applications (KQ17602)

The chemical resistance of seals is very important for equipment for the handling, transport and storage of liquids and gaseous fluids. Selection of the right elastomeric material and seal will increase reliability, safety and service life of installations and equipment and will prevent premature failure and high maintenance costs.

Good to know that Kiwa carries out certifications and inspections of rubber seals.  You know better then anyone else that the choice of certified sealing products that have been evaluated for the chemical resistance and mechanical performance in contact with the relevant media, will pay off for industrial plants and equipment manufacturers.

Evaluation guideline KQ 17602

Evaluation guideline KQ 17602 includes all relevant requirements on the basis of which Kiwa will handle applications for certification and the issuing of KiwaQuality (KQ) product certificates for rubber seals for plastic piping and tank systems for industrial applications in the European market as well as on a global scale.
Examples of applications are 

  • installations in chemical plants, 
  • power plants,
