Copper washers

What is a copper washer?

Copper washers, including copper crush washers and copper flat washers, are sealing elements that ensure reliable connections at critical points in the car's fuel supply system. Copper gaskets are made from high-quality copper, such as the M1M brand, known for its flexibility and high resistance to corrosion. Thanks to these properties, copper washers find broad applications not only in the automotive industry but also in areas where dependable sealing is necessary under conditions of high pressure or extreme temperatures.

The primary purpose of a copper washer lies in creating a strong and durable connection capable of withstanding high loads and the chemical aggression of the environment. This is a crucial requirement in the operation of turbo compressors.

Well-manufactured copper washers for injectors are characterized by the following advantages:

• High resistance to corrosion, allowing them to maintain their operational characteristics over an extended period.
• Ability to withstand extreme conditions, including high temperatures and sharp pressure fluctuations, while maintaining a tight connection.
• The plasticity of copper contributes to the ideal filling of irregularities between connected surfaces, which is critically important for sealing and preventing leaks.

In what sizes are copper washers available?

Copper gaskets in turbo compressors are used in various structures, so they come in diverse sizes, differing in internal and external diameter, as well as thickness. Knowing the specific parameters allows for the accurate selection of the required copper washer for each connection. In the Wiatreo online store, you have the opportunity to purchase both individual metric copper washers and copper washer sets, which is a cost-effective solution, especially when buying in large quantities.

Copper washer for a turbo compressor: Can it be reused?

Reusing a copper washer in turbines is not recommended due to their one-time use nature. This is explained by the fact that copper washers for injectors undergo deformation during the initial tightening, ensuring a tight fit and compensating for irregularities between contacting surfaces. Upon reuse, such sealing washers lose their ability to compress, exhibit distorted dimensions, leading to a decrease in the tightness of the connection. While copper gaskets boast high resistance to temperatures and mechanical loads, these properties can be fully utilized only through a single application. Therefore, during the repair or maintenance of turbo compressors, it is always recommended to purchase new copper washers to ensure the reliability and safety of the system.
