Why Egypt needs metallic gaskets
Egypt is Africa's most populous Arab country and a major manufacturing and construction market, with the New Administrative Capital, the Suez Canal Economic Zone and large industrial cities around Cairo. Alexandria, Port Said, Damietta and Sokhna are the main ports.
Gaskets and gland packing are replaced whenever a flange is opened or a pump is overhauled, so plants buy them by the hundred before every shutdown.
