Seals FAQ
Q: What are the most common materials used in Seals?
A: The most common materials for Seals include Nitrile Rubber (ideal for oil and fuel resistance), Viton (excellent for high-temperature applications), Silicone (suitable for food-grade and medical uses), and EPDM (perfect for water and steam applications). Each material has unique properties that make it suitable for specific environments and conditions.
Q: How do I choose the right Seals for my application?
A: Selecting the right Seals depends on several factors, including the operating temperature, pressure, chemical exposure, and the type of fluid or gas being sealed. It's crucial to match the Seal material and design to your specific requirements to ensure optimal performance and longevity. Consulting with our technical team can help you make the best choice.
Q: What maintenance is required for Seals?
A: Regular inspection is essential to maintain Seals. Look for signs of wear, cracking, or deformation. Lubrication may be necessary for some types of Seals, especially in dynamic applications. Always follow the manufacturer's guidelines for storage and installation to prevent premature failure.
