  • High quality cork sheet made with a high percentage of Nitrile rubber and cork granules.
  • Ideal for making cork gaskets and seals for transformers and power equipment.
  • Compatible with most transformer oils at temperatures up to 125°C.
  • Stocked in a selection of other thicknesses. Cut parts also available.

TD1150 Transformer Grade Rubberised Cork is a high rubber content cork designed specifically for electrical apparatus sealing. This specialised cork gasket sheet is made from a specialised Nitrile rubber (NBR) combined with small cork granules.

It is highly compatible with most common transformer fluids and exhibits excellent compressive strength, strength and flexibility. It also has good electrical insulation properties and is very durable.

This high quality grade of Cork / Rubber Sheet measures 3mm Thick x 915mm Wide x 915mm Long.

More information on the various characteristics of this cork sheet is included below:

High Performance Gasket Cork Material.

TD1150 is widely used for making cork gaskets & seals. In many ways, it is quite similar to our TD1049 Premium Grade Cork as they are both made with a Nitrile rubber binder. The (primary) difference is in the amount of rubber in the finished sheet with TD1150 having a far higher rubber content.

This high percentage of rubber ensure this cork has very good elongation (100% max.) and compressive strength (exceeds 70 MPa). It has a shore durometer hardness of 70 Shore A and a broad sealing stress range (3 MPa to 20 MPa).

Compatible with Most Transformer Oils.

Used all around the world for electrical bushings and gaskets, TD1150 has been tested in conjunction with a variety of transformer fluids. A summary of this cork sheets fluid compatibility is included below:

Fluid Contact  
Mineral Oil Recommended
Natural Ester Oil Recommended
Silicone Oil Recommended
SF6 Gas Suitable


Results According to:
ASTM D3455: Test Methods for Compatibility of Construction Materials with Electrical Insulating Oil of Petroleum origin.
&

TD1150 Electrical Cork Gaskets Sealing Stress Data

SEALING STRESS
A Load Deflection (LD) curve is a Stress (MPa) vs. Strain (mm) curve. lt is the load required to compress a material at a defined
thickness for a determined deflection.

lt is very useful when making material selections to meet
engineering requirements such as flange load or controlled compression applications.

lf you require LD data at a different thickness, just ask us.

 

TD1150 Transformer Cork Gaskets Application Stress Data

SYSTEM DISTORTION.
Conformability is the ability of a gasket material to conform to flange surface roughness and out-of-flatness.

At a given sealing stress a corresponding maximum allowable flange distortion assures that a “positive seal” is guaranteed for a defined material thickness.

By intersecting the hardware distortion and the respective sealing stress, a suggested material thickness is selected. However it is always recommended to validate the material thickness in your system due to unexpected  flange distortion behaviour.
