What Metal Seals Offer
Metal seals are designed to meet the rigorous demands of extreme pressure and temperature applications. They are particularly suited for industries that require high-performance sealing solutions, such as aerospace, oil & gas, military, heavy industry, and construction. These seals are engineered to create a reliable seal under high flange load and bolt load conditions, making them ideal for critical applications.
Metal seals are essential in many sectors where both pressure and temperature can reach extreme levels, including those where traditional sealing methods are not sufficient. Their design and material selection ensure long-lasting, reliable sealing under tough conditions.
Features & Benefits:
- High Pressure & Temperature Resistance: Capable of handling pressures up to 90,000 psi and temperatures as high as 1800°F.
- Strong Seals for Challenging Applications: Ideal for high-demand applications in harsh environments.
- Versatility in Material: Available in various alloys to suit specific service requirements.
- Customizable Surface Coatings: Different surface coatings are available to meet the needs of specific industries and conditions.
- Multiple Profiles Available: Various seal profiles are designed for both internal and external pressure, providing versatility in design options.
Available Seal Profiles:
- Open “C” ring (internal and external pressure)
- “C” ring with spring (internal and external pressure)
- Open “E” ring (internal and external pressure)
- Vented and unvented Hollow O-Ring
- Solid O-Ring
- Open “U” ring (internal and external pressure)
These features make metal seals an indispensable part of systems where failure is not an option and performance is critical.
Potential Applications & Industries
Metal seals are crucial in applications that require high pressure and temperature resistance, such as in engines, hydraulic systems, and power generation equipment. They are also used in aerospace for sealing pressurized systems in aircraft and spacecraft, as well as in oil and gas rigs where extreme conditions demand reliable sealing.
In industries like aerospace, oil & gas, military, heavy manufacturing, and construction, metal seals ensure performance and reliability under the most challenging conditions. They are essential for sealing critical systems in aircraft, defense equipment, power plants, industrial machinery, and construction equipment, where durability and precision are key.
Design Specifics & How The Product Works
Metal seals are designed to create a secure and reliable seal by applying the necessary flange load and bolt load to compress the seal and form an airtight and leak-proof barrier.
What Makes Metal Seals So Effective? The strength of metal seals lies in their ability to conform under pressure, creating a durable seal that can withstand extreme environments. With customizable surface coatings and alloy materials, these seals provide tailored solutions for the most demanding applications.
