2End face mechanical seal — An end face mechanical seal, also referred to as a mechanical face seal but usually simply as a mechanical seal, is a type of seal utilised in rotating equipment, such as pumps and compressors. When a pump operates, the liquid could leak out of… …
3Dry gas seal — Dry gas seals are non contacting, dry running mechanical face seals consist of a mating (rotating) ring and a primary (stationary) ring. When operating, grooves in the rotating ring generate a fluid dynamic force causing the stationary ring to… …
4Drilling fluid — This article is about fluids used when drilling a well. For fluids used with drill bits during metal working, see cutting fluid. Driller pouring a foaming agent down the rod string on a drilling rig In geotechnical engineering, drilling fluid is… …
5Diaphragm seal — An example of a diaphragm seal (in green) used to protect a pressure sensor. A diaphragm seal is a flexible membrane that seals and isolates an enclosure. The flexible nature of this seal allows pressure effects to cross the barrier but not the… …
6O-ring boss seal — An O Ring boss seal is a technique for joining two fluid carrying pipes, hoses or tubing. In an o ring boss (abbreviated ORB) system, a male threaded part is inserted into a female threaded part, providing a mechanical seal. This system differs… …
7Labyrinth seal — A labyrinth seal is a mechanical seal that fits around an axle to prevent the leakage of oil or other fluids. A labyrinth seal is composed of many straight threads that press tightly inside another axle, or inside a hole, so that the fluid has to …
8Hydraulic seal — { [refimproveA hydraulic seal is a relatively soft, non metallic ring captured in a groove or fixed in a combination of rings, forming a seal assembly, to block or separate fluid in reciprocating motion applications. Hydraulic seals are vital in… …
9Ferrofluidic seal — A ferrofluidic magnetic seal is a sealing mechanism used in rotating equipment to contain a fluid by means of a physical barrier in the form of a ferrofluid. The ferrofluid is suspended in place by use of a permanent magnet.Benefits and… …
