Industrial Seal
An industrial seal is a mechanical component used to prevent the leakage of fluids (such as liquids, gases, or steam) in machinery and equipment. Seals are critical in maintaining the integrity of systems, ensuring safety, and improving efficiency. They are widely used in pumps, valves, compressors, and other rotating or reciprocating machinery. Industrial seals come in various types, including O-rings, lip seals, mechanical seals, and gland seals, depending on the application, the type of fluid being sealed, and operating conditions such as temperature, pressure, and speed.
George Cook developed the mechanical seal in the early 1900s. He designed the seal to address leakage issues in rotating equipment like pumps. His invention replaced traditional packing materials. It offered a more efficient solution to prevent fluid leakage. It also maintained the integrity of the rotating shafts. A mechanical seal is a device used […]
