Pressure - Many oil seals can only withstand low-pressure applications, so understanding the compression set of your components is key.

Another factor that can affect the cost of new spark plugs is the brand. Some well-known brands in the automotive industry may charge a premium for their spark plugs due to their reputation for quality and reliability. However, there are also more affordable brands that offer reliable performance at a lower cost.

An oil seal serves three crucial purposes within any machinery. First, it prevents the leakage of lubricants or fluids outside the seal, even under high pressure. This function ensures the effective operation of equipment, as sufficient lubrication is a key requirement for the smooth functioning of machinery. Second, it retains the lubricating oil within the machinery. This retention function reduces the need for constant maintenance or re-lubrication, saving time and resources. Third, the oil seal acts as a barrier against contaminants. It prevents dirt, dust, and other potential contaminants from entering the machinery, protecting sensitive parts from damage or wear.

Choosing and using the proper sealing devices within oil and gas applications can be vital when preventing dirt, dust, water, and other debris from potentially getting inside and contaminating products.

The major cause of extrusion and nibbling is stress caused by high pressure. This is commonly noticed when the oil seal has a chipped or nibbled look. In fact, in some cases, the surface of the seal tends to peel on its own, which makes it have a shaved look. What the stress does is that it increases the clearance gap between the mating edges, which causes the seal to get entrapped, and then leads to severe physical damage.

In conclusion, oil seals play a critical role in high-pressure systems by preventing leaks and maintaining the integrity of the machinery. With proper design, materials, and maintenance, high-pressure oil seals can withstand the extreme pressures and harsh conditions commonly found in industrial settings. By investing in quality seals and regular maintenance, operators can ensure the reliability and efficiency of their high-pressure systems for years to come.

PTFE Lip seals
 

Advantages:
– Good static sealing
– Compensation of different thermal expansion
– Reduced risk of fretting corrosion
– Effective protection against air side contaminants
– Higher bore surface roughness is allowed
– Installation in split-housings
– Modern lip design provides low radial forces

Seals perform much better and longer when they are continuously lubricated with an oil that has the correct viscosity for the application and that is compatible with the seal lip elastomer material. The consideration of seal incompatibility, particularly with certain additives and some synthetic lubricants, should not be ignored, but unfortunately very often is.
