"Rubber Seals for Fluid and Hydraulic Systems" is a
comprehensive guide to the manufacturing and applications of rubber
seals, with essential coverage for industry sectors including
aviation, oil drilling and the automotive industry.
Fluid leakage costs industry millions of dollars every year. In
addition to wasted money, unattended leaks can result in downtime,
affect product quality, pollute the environment, and cause injury.
Successful sealing involves containment of fluid within a system
while excluding the contaminants; the resilience of rubber enables
it to be used to achieve these two objectives and create a tight
sealing effect. A sound understanding of the complex factors
involved in successful fluid sealing is essential for engineers who
specify, design, operate and maintain machinery and mechanical
equipment.
This book focuses on the characteristics of rubbers as seals,
their manufacturing procedures, the implications of their physical
and chemical characteristics for the sealing function in the fluid
and hydraulic systems, how rubbers seal and prevent leaks, what
properties are required for sealing function, and how they change
before and after installation.
The chapter on Manufacture of Seals and O Rings includes
approximately 25 workable starting point formulations based on
different rubbers, with cure and property data of those
formulations as guidelines for technologists and engineers.
Emphasis on important areas such as applications of rubber as fluid
seals in the nuclear, aviation, oil drilling and automotive
industriesIncludes achapter on Rubber Expansion Joints as the
function of such expansion joints as pipe connectors is indirectly
linked with leakage and prevention of fluid flow through the
pipesThe chapter on Manufacture of Seals and O Rings
includesapprox. 25 workable starting point formulations based on
different rubbers, with cure and property data of those
formulations as guidelines for technologists and engineers"
