Fluid Sealing Technology: Principles and Applications

Introduction to fluid sealing technology terminology and concepts polymeric materials sealing mechanism of elastomer seals flow in thin films - incompressible flow in thin films -compressible. Part 1 Rotary seals - rubber, plastic: rotary lip-seals rotary lip-seals for pressure. Part 2 Reciprocating seals: hydraulic seals pneumatic seals piston seals of internal combustion engines and compressors. Part 3 Soft packings - rotary and reciprocating: compression packings. Part 4 Mechanical seals: mechanical seal principles mechanical seal design mechanical seal materials. Part 5 Non-contact shaft seals: throttling seals for liquids clearance seals for gases gas film seals centrifugal seals screw-seals slingers and collecting labyrinths for liquids magnetic fluid seals. Part 6 Static seals, bellows and diaphragms: hermetic seals gasketed joints - structural aspects gaskets in flanged joints static seal applications.
