Fluid Sealing Technology Principles and Applications

By Muller Copyright 1998

    "Assists users, developers, researchers, and manufacturers in the design, selection, development, and application of seals and sealing systems for fluids."

    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.
