Seals
A seal is a ring captured in a groove to control fluid leakage in reciprocating and rotary motion applications. Seals can be made from a variety of materials such as polyurethane, rubber or PTFE. The type of material is determined by the specific operating conditions or limits due to fluid type, pressure, fluid chemical compatibility or temperature. A static seal is located in a groove and sees no movement acting like a gasket.
