Rishon Exhaust Gasket Test

[EJOUIE]

So for a school project I am going to test this Rishon material as a gasket. I plan to cut some into a down pipe gasket and see how it holds up. To record what this gasket is seeing, I am going to use the torque app with the kiwi bluetooth.

Anyone have any experience with this material or with gasket design in general?

For a gasket use the old metal one as a template. Then draw it out on the material.


but this is what would prevent me form trying this as a perament soultion

Rishon meets all the criteria of Advisory Circular 20-135 for 15 minutes of direct contact with a 2000ºF (1093.3ºC) flame with no backside penetration. source Rishon® Material | RCF Technologies

Its fire resistant but not fire proof, and even at that you can only have it contact for a short time. But hay good luck on your school project...





Personally i would use this as a heat shield for under the car.

What temps would the lower down pipe gasket see?

[Slick2500]

A couple hundred probably.

[EJOUIE]

^ thats something that I think this stuff can handle. We shall see though.

[EJOUIE]

Anybody know how to get torque to read exhaust temp?

[BillBoost37]

Well..there isn't a sensor in the exhasut for that.

I guess that ends that then. Still, gasket goes on next week.
