In industries ranging from manufacturing to energy production, rubber plugs serve as unsung heroes in preventing leaks, contamination, and equipment failures. Whether sealing temporary pipe openings with rubber pipe plugs or protecting sensitive machinery using rubber hole plugs, these components are vital for operational integrity. This article dives into how modern rubber sealing solutions combine durability with precision engineering.
1. Core Applications of Industrial Rubber Plugs
A. Rubber Pipe Plugs: Guardians of Fluid Systems
Function: garage door bottom seal strip open ends of pipes during maintenance (e.g., HVAC ducts, oil pipelines)
Pressure Ratings: 20–100 PSI capacity (Viton® plugs for high-pressure hydraulic lines)
Case Example: Food processing plants use FDA-compliant silicone rubber pipe plugs to prevent bacterial growth in CIP (Clean-in-Place) systems
