Blown Head Gasket Compression Testing
What is a Blown Head Gasket?
Your had gasket is between your engine block and the cylinder head. It prevents the liquids of your car from mixing with each other, as well as seals the cylinders for optimum pressure.
This gasket is specially designed to withstand incredible amounts of pressure and temperature. However, fluctuations occur and when they do, your gasket is subject to damage thereby lending it to be “blown”. A blown head gasket can cause compression loss or even external leaks, which can both be a lethal problem that’s heavy on the pocket.
Signs and Symptoms of a Blown Head Gasket
Overheating is one of the most common signs of a faulty head gasket. You will notice how quickly it overheats despite checking that the thermostat, radiator, water pump and cooling system are all working fine.
Another sign of a bad gasket is when white smoke comes out of your tailpipe. With this symptom, you will smell seemingly burning anti-freeze.
Longer crank engine time is another sign of a bad gasket. Even worse, other cars that are suffering from this problem won’t even start.
How to Compression Test a Blown Head Gasket
In many cases, head gaskets have burned at a point between two cylinders. What occurs is that the gap in the gasket allows the combustion or compression of one cylinder to seep to the other or vice versa.
You can conduct a compression test by removing all of the spark plugs and threading the compression manually. Crank the engine and observe the readings on your compression tester for each cylinder. When two side-by-side cylinders result in 0 psi, then there’s a problem.

The post vs. CPVC:有什么区别?首先出现在Bryan Hose and Gasket:: Blog.
.
Differences Between PVC and CPVC
The first C in CPVC stands for Chlorinated. How much chlorine CPVC has depends on the manufacturer, but it can be as much as a 20% increase. However, the additional chlorine in the pipe itself has no effect on the water moving through it.
Temperature resistance is another difference between PVC and CPVC. PVC is safe for residential water applications below 140°F. However, CPVC is safe at temperatures up to 200°F. Temperatures above those limits will result in softening of the pipe and weak joints, leading to leaks and failure.
Another difference between PVC and CPVC is the sizing. PVC size goes according to IPS (Iron Pipe Size) standards. While CPVC can be IPS-sized, it is more common in CTS (Copper Tubing Size) standards.
Color is another way that PVC and CPVC differ. PVC is typically white (schedule 40) or gray (schedule 80), as well as the more rare purple, which indicates reclaimed or recycled water that is unfit for drinking. This color is common for landscaping and irrigation. CPVC is typically either an off-white, yellowish cream color (schedule 40), or light gray (schedule 80).
The price is another difference between PVC and CPVC. PVC is typically less expensive than CPVC, but not by much. Both are much less expensive than metal or PEX.
PVC vs. CPVC: Common Applications
PVC Applications
A common application for PVC is the service line. This goes between the water main and the home (and is the homeowner’s responsibility). CPVC has approval for underground use, but it is more expensive and doesn’t offer any benefits in this particular situation.
PVC is also commonly used in the Drain-Waste-Vent (DWV) system. This carries the wastewater to the sewer, regulates air in the pipes and removes dangerous gases from the home.
Additionally, PVC is a popular choice for yard irrigation and sprinkler systems. Flexible PVC is common for pool, spa or hot tub installations as well where rigid piping may not fit or require more joints.
CPVC Applications
Technically, CPVC can do anything PVC can, but its use in the home is typically limited to indoor water distribution (the system of pipes that carry water to fixtures around the house). CPVC is ideal for homes with corrosive water or soil conditions.
CPVC is also common in fire sprinkler systems, as it provides heat resistance, low price, durability and ease of installation. It is plastic, so it is relatively un-reactive and will not rust like metal options.
There are many differences between PVC and CPVC. Therefore, whether you choose PVC or CPVC will ultimately depend on the application. Contact Bryan Hose & Gasket with the link below for more information!

PVC Piping is Useful in a Variety of Industries
PVC Ductwork for Home Builders
Our PVC piping comes in handy if a builder likes to design a home with heating and cooling under the floor rather than in the roof. It’s especially useful if the home will not have a crawlspace, as this helps to make space for metal ductwork.
For the houses that are built on a concrete piece, our PVC ductwork is a preferable strategy to being placed directly beneath the floor. PVC material also defends against moisture-related corrosion that can take place at the floor level.
Our PVC ductwork gives the home builder more flexibility when designing a house when installing grates in the floor. In addition to structural considerations, PVC prevents corrosion from moisture and radon infiltration.
PVC Piping for Commercial and Industrial Applications
Our PVC allows for the flow and venting of harmful gases and vapors. These gases and vapors can pollute and have an adverse affect on health and confined spaces. Heating and cooling is essential in these environments, so it is a critical consideration to comply with health and safety regulations set in place by federal and state agencies.
PVC Piping is Great for Creative DIY Projects

Stainless Steel Tubing and Instrumentation
Round Stainless Tube
Stainless Steel Round Tubing is common for structural purposes and applications that range from aesthetic to highly functional.
Stainless tubing provides good corrosion resistance, weldability, machinability and can be easily cleaned and sterilized.
Seamless Tube vs. Welded Tube
Seamless tube is extruded and drawn from a billet. However, welded tube is produced from a strip that is roll formed and welded to produce a tube.
Welded tube is generally less expensive than seamless tube and is readily available in long continuous lengths. Typically, welded tubes go through a debarring process that removes the welded tube a smoother, almost brushed finish look.
Tube vs. Pipe
Tubes are structural. They are common for structural purposes and utilize outside diameter (OD) measurements.
Conversely, pipes are passageways. Pipes are common to transport gases or fluids and utilize the inside diameter (ID) measurements.
Applications of Seamless Tubes
Specific extreme applications will determine the needs for seamless high pressure tubing. In addition, it will discourage the use of welded tube because the designers can’t risk the chance for defect. Major seamless applications consists of the following:
- control lines for sub-sea safety valves for the oil and gas industry
- hydraulic controls for shipbuilding and fuel and hydraulic lines for aerospace
- heat trace bundles for chemical processing.
Welded tubing may be specified for applications within the medical device, automotive and appliance industries. While seam-free tubing is a common substitute for seamless tubing in some applications, the products are not always interchangeable. Also, this type of corrosion resistant tubing is the preferable choice in high-pressure applications.
Quality of Seamless Tubes
Quality is critical when selecting a type of tube. It is important to consider aspects such as the raw material used, production process and integrity of the mill. Also, raw material should be the highest quality.
Bryan Hose & Gasket is a reputable tubing supplier that fully documents our certifications and exceed ISO 9001 requirements. Additionally, our systems extend to the manufacturing process and allow for quality checks throughout the production of our products.
There are numerous differences between seamless, welded and welded-and-drawn stainless steel tubing. These include complexity of the manufacturing process, cost of the finished product, opportunity for defect and pressure rating.

Specifications of Pneumatic Fittings
Sizing
Once you have determined the type of fitting required, proper sizing can be addressed. Proper sizing is essential to successful fitting selection. This is because oversized or undersized parts will either be completely incompatible or will seal or connect inadequately.
A pneumatic fitting size is defined by the size of vessels it connects to. Sizes for tubes, hoses and pipes use the inside diameter (ID) and outside diameter (OD). Measurements are inches (in) or millimeters (mm). The fitting’s design is ideal for connecting a tube with a 2″ OD have a rating of 2″ OD fitting. Inside diameter measures the diameter of the empty portion of the cylinder. However, outside diameter diameter involves the thickness of the tubing wall.
Operation
Pneumatic fittings ratings are usually for specific temperature and pressure ranges for what they can handle.
The working range of pressures or the pressure ratings at which the fitting can operate is the operating pressure range. Generally, measurements are in pounds per square inch (psi). Operating above or below this rating can result in the fitting failing (i.e. break, leak, lose its seal).
The working range of temperatures or the temperature ratings at which the fitting can operate is the operating temperature range. Measurements are in degrees Fahrenheit (°F) or degrees Celsius (°C).
Materials Used for Pneumatic Fittings
Fitting material is critical for determining a variety of physical properties of the part as well as gas compatibility. Material options include metals, plastics and composites.
Metals
Aluminum
Aluminum is lightweight and corrosion resistant. In addition, it has low tensile strength and is common in low pressure applications for its corrosion resistance and low density.
To improve its strength and hardness, aluminum is alloyed with zinc, copper, silicon, manganese and/or other metals.
Brass
Brass is strong, durable and corrosion resistant. Also, it has high temperature ductility and good conductivity, and is is an alloy of copper and zinc.
Brass contains excellent performance properties and machinability. Therefore, it is a common metal for smaller compression and fitting that uses threading, which is typical of pneumatic systems.
Steel
Steel is durable and strong with high heat resistance. It is an alloy of iron and carbon. In addition, it is generally alloyed with other metals to improve its resistance to corrosion.
For added rust protection and chemical resistance, galvanized steel contains a zinc coating.
Stainless Steel
Stainless steel is strong with a great resistance to chemicals and corrosion. Additionally, it is an alloy of steel that contains over 10.5 percent chromium.
This metal has the strength and durability of steel while also providing excellent resistance to corrosion.
Plastics
Fluororesins
Fluororesins such as polytetrafluroroethylene (PTFE) and polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) are fluorcarbon-based polymers common for temperature requirements above 500°F (250°C).
Additionally, this plastic exhibits extremely good chemical resistance and dielectric properties.
Polypropylene
This thermoplastic material is common for pneumatic fittings because of its price, broad material compatibility and durability. It exhibits great cold flow, bi-axial strength and yield elongation properties.
The use of this material is great for applications with exposure because of its UV, weathering and ozone resistance.
Composites
Composite fittings consist of those made from combinations of materials, such as carbon, fiberglass and graphite. Also, they have high melting points and are useful as fittings for applications that require high temperature durability and chemical resistance. These materials also exhibit low electrical and thermal conductivity.
