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 ...

3. API Standard 682 - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/API_Standard_682

   Category 2 seal are intended for API-610 This category is applicable for temperatures between –40 °F and 750 °F (-40 °C and 400 °C) and pressures to 615 PSI (42 bar). Category 3 seals are essentially the original seals of 1st Edition and are also intended for API-610 pumps. Category 3 seals are intended for the most demanding applications.

4. O-ring - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O-ring

   Typical O-ring and application. An O-ring, also known as a packing or a toric joint, is a mechanical gasket in the shape of a torus; it is a loop of elastomer with a round cross-section, designed to be seated in a groove and compressed during assembly between two or more parts, forming a seal at the interface.

5. Gasket - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gasket

   It is a deformable material that is used to create a static seal and maintain that seal under various operating conditions in a mechanical assembly. [1] Gaskets allow for "less-than-perfect" mating surfaces on machine parts where they can fill irregularities. Gaskets are commonly produced by cutting from sheet materials.

6. Hydraulic seal - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_seal

   A static hydraulic seal is located in a groove and sees no movement - only sealing within its confined space, acting like a gasket. To achieve this the gasket should be under pressure. The pressure is applied by tightening of the bolts. Examples of static seals include O-rings, flange seals, and cover seals. Dynamic

7. Ferrofluidic seal - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferrofluidic_seal

   Ferrofluid-based seals used in industrial and scientific applications are most often packaged in mechanical seal assemblies called rotary feed-throughs, which also contain a central shaft, ball bearings, and outer housing. The ball bearings provide two functions: maintaining the shaft's centering within the seal gap and supporting external loads.
