Introduce

Engine oil pump gasket is a rubber seal in the engine. The main function of the engine oil pump is to suck engine oil from the oil pan and deliver it to various lubrication points of the engine to lubricate and cool engine parts. The seal is located between the oil pump and the engine’s positive pressure oil line, and plays a role in sealing and preventing oil leakage.

Certification standard

  • Currently, the internationally recognized engine oil pump gasket quality certification standards mainly include ISO9001 and ISO/TS16949. ISO9001 certification is the certification of enterprise quality management system by the International Organization for Standardization. It mainly judges whether the enterprise reaches certain international quality standards in design, development, production, sales and other aspects. ISO/TS16949 is a certification standard mainly for the quality management system of the automotive industry. The standard emerged to improve the quality and safety of automotive parts.
  • There are also other quality inspections and certifications to verify whether seals meet relevant national standards and industry regulations. The more common testing indicators include multiple testing of seals such as oil resistance, wear resistance, pressure resistance, and sealing.

Advantage and Function

  1. Sealing function: The main function of the engine oil pump gasket is to seal so that there will be no oil leakage between the oil pump and the engine. It can function stably in high-pressure and high-temperature environments to prevent oil from leaking from the oil inlet or oil outlet. leakage, allowing the oil to be delivered more efficiently to the engine’s lubrication system.
  2. Prevent engine oil leakage: The engine oil pump gasket uses the sealing performance to prevent engine oil leakage. When there is an oil leakage problem in the engine, it will cause the oil pressure to drop, which will affect the lubrication effect of the engine and may cause some damage to engine parts. The correct use of seals allows oil to circulate inside the engine and prevents oil leakage from affecting engine performance.
  3. High temperature resistance: High temperatures will definitely occur when the engine is running. The gasket has good high temperature resistance. It can maintain stable physical properties and sealing performance in this high temperature environment without becoming soft or sealing failure. It provides a good guarantee for the normal operation of the engine.
  4. Oil resistance: The engine oil pump gasket is also oil-resistant and can withstand the long-term erosion of various lubricating oils and liquid petroleum without swelling, dissolution or deformation. It can also maintain its stable size and shape and exert an effective sealing effect.
  5. Wear resistance: The gasket can also withstand the high-speed flow of engine oil and uninterrupted frictional movement without being easily worn. This advantage extends the service life of the gasket.

Conclusion

Engine oil pump seals are designed to draw engine oil from the sump and deliver it to various lubrication points in the engine. Its key role is to prevent oil from leaking between the oil pump and the oil line that carries pressurised oil. Its primary objective is to halt oil leakage, guaranteeing that the engine’s lubrication system receives oil in an efficient manner. The gasket’s seal also prevents pressure loss and safeguards engine parts against damage. The gasket can resist high temperatures and maintain stable physical properties and sealing performance in hot environments without becoming soft or failing. It is resistant to oil, which can erode it over time, but it can withstand prolonged exposure to various lubricating oils and liquid petroleum without swelling or deforming. Furthermore, it can endure fast oil flow and continuous frictional movement, which extends its service life.
