Description: This book was written to help fill a gap in the mechanical engineering
literature on elastomeric seals. Up to this time, designers have
had to depend on 0-ring seal handbooks and product sale manuals,
which at best are subjective and limited in theoretical and practical
application. Practical Seal Design provides the designer with a
comprehensive discussion of the theory and practical application of
elastomeric ring seals. The theory is reduced to practical use and
presented in a manner conducive to solving current sealing problems.
Part I of the book is devoted to a general discussion of elastomeric
ring seals, including specific topics in elastomeric ring
seal geometry, material-compound capability, and material performance
under various environments. Part II is devoted to the detail
of specific applications of static, reciprocating, and rotary seal
function.
Although the book contains various sections of theoretical discussion,
it has been written with the designer in mind. General
and specific design methods are presented together with solved
engineering problems that elaborate important design considerations.
In this regard, the book is helpful to students who want to
understand seal theory and learn to apply it to actual field problems.
The book centers around the use of elastomeric O-rings,
but the design methods and practical engineering considerations
are applicable to most other types of elastomeric seal configurations
.
The book is full of aids for the seal designer. 0-ring specifications
for military and aerospace standards, tube fittings, and
electrical connectors are consolidated for easy access. Property
comparison tables and temperature capability charts for the currently
used elastomeric compounds are presented.
