Stephens Gaskets specialises in high-quality non-standard washers designed to meet the specific requirements of industries where standard washers fall short.
Whether you need customised dimensions, materials, or performance, our tailored solutions ensure durability and precision for your unique application.
What Are Non-Standard Washers?
Non-standard washers are custom-designed washers that deviate from conventional shapes, sizes, or materials to address unique application needs.
Unlike standard washers, which follow predefined industry specifications, non-standard washers are engineered to provide specialised functionality and precise fitting for complex or demanding systems.
Key Features of Non-Standard Washers:
- Custom Shapes and Sizes:
Tailored to your precise requirements, including irregular shapes, exact thickness, and specific inner or outer diameters. - Specialised Materials:
Choose from metals like stainless steel, brass, and titanium, or non-metals like PTFE, nylon, and rubber for specific environmental or operational conditions. - Enhanced Durability:
Engineered to withstand high temperatures, corrosive environments, heavy loads, or vibrations. - Advanced Coatings and Treatments:
Options for anti-corrosion, heat resistance, or electrical insulation to optimise performance. - Multi-Purpose Functionality:
Serves as spacers, seals, insulators, or vibration dampeners in specialised equipment.
