Technical Information

To keep your system optimized we are constantly improving the performance of our membranes. Each new generation directly leads to increases in productivity. A wide variety of GORE® membranes and specially developed backing materials are available.

Better understand how cables break in high-flex applications—covering bend radius limits, insulation wear, conductor fatigue, termination stresses and practical design steps to improve cable life and system reliability.

This technical document details tracking changes in insertion loss and phase length with temperature.

Understand the limiting mechanisms of high-power operation in coaxial assemblies—covering thermal breakdown, multipaction/ionization, altitude and ambient corrections, and how to predict power ratings for high-performance cables.

Understand how passive-intermodulation (PIM) occurs in coaxial cable assemblies, why metal contact resistance and oxide layers matter, and how proper materials and termination techniques can minimise PIM in high-power, multichannel RF systems.

Engineered for high-radiation environments, GORE® Spaceflight Cables deliver flexible, low-loss microwave performance using radiation-resistant materials and qualified construction for demanding satellite and space applications.

GORE®’s ‘Packing for Industrial Applications: Engineering & Support’ outlines over 40 years of sealing expertise, detailing how our technical-services team partners with customers to select and optimise high-performance packings for pumps, valves and piping systems.

Clarify the differences between IP and NEMA enclosure ratings—covering how IP codes (IEC-60529) address dust and water ingress and NEMA types (NEMA 250) add protection against corrosion, ice and mechanical impact to guide vent and enclosure design.

A technical overview of IECEx and ATEX standards, explaining how equipment for explosive atmospheres is defined, tested and certified — including zone classifications, protection levels and global harmonization.

PPAP defines generic requirements for production part approval. It ensures that parts manufacturers, like Gore, document our capability to consistently meet your product specifications when manufacturing that product at quoted production levels.
