- Application Requirements Different applications may require specific types of seals based on temperature, pressure, and fluid type. Understanding the application’s demands will guide the selection process.
1. Quality Assurance Look for manufacturers that adhere to industry standards and certifications, such as ISO 9001. Quality assurance processes ensure that products meet defined specifications and performance criteria.
These seals typically consist of an elastomeric material, such as rubber or polyurethane, combined with a metal casing that allows for better sealing against high-pressure environments. The combination of a flexible lip and a rigid outer body ensures optimal sealing and minimizes wear on the sealing surfaces.
