Metallized Carbon Corporation has introduced mechanical seal primary rings for sealing refrigerants and other low viscosity liquids. Designing mechanical seals for sealing refrigerants and other low ...

Preventing leaks and contaminant ingression keeps a system operating as intended. Seal selection is often an imprecise and time-consuming process, involving numerous compromises. Some qualities a seal ...

O-rings and guide rings are both used on hydraulic cylinders, but they handle different tasks. O-rings are often the first choice for engineers because of their flexibility and performance in static ...

Bores are sealed with ‘O’ rings' sited in grooves, (figure 1). The ‘O’ rings' are usually of toroidal shape (i.e. circular cross section) and are regulated by BS 1806 and BS 4518. Figure 1. ‘O’ Ring ...

Carbon is used as one of the faces on many seal applications because of its self-lubricating properties, chemical inertness and relatively low cost. Silicon carbide and tungsten carbide seal faces ...

As clean-power technologies become more mainstream, offshore and river-based energy generating systems are beginning to come into their own in terms of proven performance. While the sea and rivers are ...
