  2. End-face mechanical seal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/End-face_mechanical_seal

    In mechanical engineering, an end-face mechanical seal (often shortened to mechanical seal) is a type of seal used in rotating equipment, such as pumps, mixers, blowers, and compressors. When a pump operates, the liquid could leak out of the pump between the rotating shaft and the stationary pump casing. Since the shaft rotates, preventing this ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Components_of_jet_engines

    Seals are used to prevent oil leakage, control air for cooling and prevent stray air flows into turbine cavities. A series of (e.g. labyrinth) seals allow a small flow of bleed air to wash the turbine disc to extract heat and, at the same time, pressurize the turbine rim seal, to prevent hot gases entering the inner part of the engine.

  5. Head gasket - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Head_gasket

    In an internal combustion engine, a head gasket provides the seal between the engine block and cylinder head(s). Its purpose is to seal the combustion gases within the cylinders and to avoid coolant or engine oil leaking into the cylinders. [1] Leaks in the head gasket can cause poor engine running and/or overheating.

  6. Common Berthing Mechanism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Berthing_Mechanism

    The CBM/CBM joint has provisions for installation of an IVA seal in case the primary seal fails. Like the primary, it is a segmented molded seal, but has beads only on the outboard face. The beads are squeezed against the inboard faces of the rings by compression plates, fastening into the same bolt pattern used to hold the protective covers.

    Piping and instrumentation diagram of pump with storage tank. Symbols according to EN ISO 10628 and EN 62424. A more complex example of a P&ID. A piping and instrumentation diagram (P&ID) is defined as follows: A diagram which shows the interconnection of process equipment and the instrumentation used to control the process.

  8. Diaphragm seal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diaphragm_seal

    Diaphragm seals (also known as chemical seals or gauge guards) are also used to protect a process fluid from the pressure sensor. Examples of this use are: Sanitary processes (food, pharmaceuticals, etc.) where allowing process fluid to accumulate in the pressure port of the sensor would compromise the purity of the fluid (such as milk getting ...

  9. Face seal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Face_seal

    In mechanical engineering, a face seal is a seal in which the sealing surfaces are normal to the axis of the seal. Face seals are typically used in static applications and are used to prevent leakage in the radial direction with respect to the axis of the seal. [1] Face seals are often located in a groove or cavity on a flange. Face seals are a ...
