IPD develops superior components designed to provide high quality, affordable solutions for a variety of markets and applications. Cognisance is given to the extreme conditions that diesel engines are subjected to, specifically in the construction and mining sectors. Available from official southern African distributor, Metric Automotive Engineering, the range of IPD Caterpillar C9 engine gasket kits is a cost effective solution that ensures maximised engine performance and longevity.
IPD uses premium materials designed for heavy duty engine applications in the manufacture of its gasket kits. The rocker cover base seals are made of moulded rubber with metal inserts and, for selected applications, composite type oil pan seals come with integrated metal inserts. A rigorous quality control process aligns each part number with the correct material specification for the application. Critical tests and measurements are applied to all IPD’s gasket materials to ensure performance guarantees. These tests include creep relaxation, which indicates the ability of material to retain its original bolt torque specification after exposure to stress; crush resistance density; and tensile strength.
IPD has built its reputation over the past 50 years on a product line that is centred around adherence to the highest quality standards. All 8 000-plus products in the Caterpillar engine component range are manufactured in IPD’s Lloyds accredited ISO 9001:2000 facility to exacting specifications and metallurgies, to ensure maximised equipment uptime and performance.
