Seals And Sealing Handbook

Hardbound. Completely reworked, updated and extended to include the very latest developments in sealing technology, this handbook is an essential reference guide. With over 2000 figures and tables and a buyers guide, the Seals and Sealing Handbook will reduce time consuming selection procedures and ensure compatibility of materials. Comprehensive descriptions of seal types, construction and application enable the reader to choose the correct seal for the task thus maximising seal life and reducing maintainance costs.

Seals and Sealing Handbook, 6th Edition provides comprehensive coverage of sealing technology, bringing together information on all aspects of this area to enable you to make the right sealing choice. This includes detailed coverage on the seals applicable to static, rotary and reciprocating applications, the best materials to use in your sealing systems, and the legislature and regulations that may impact your sealing choices. Updated in line with current trends this updated reference provides the theory necessary for you to select the most appropriate seals for the job and with its 'Failure Guide', the factors to consider should anything go wrong. Building on the practical, stepped approach of its predecessor, Seals and Sealing Handbook, 6th Edition remains an essential reference for any engineer or designer who uses seals in their work. A comprehensive reference covering a broad range of seal types for all situations, to ensure that you are able to select the most appropriate seal for any given task Includes supporting case studies and a unique 'Failure Guide' to help you troubleshoot if things go wrong New edition includes the most up-to-date information on sealing technology, making it an essential reference for anyone who uses seals in their work

Wherever machinery operates there will be seals of some kind ensuring that the machine remains lubricated, the fluid being pumped does not leak, or the gas does not enter the atmosphere. Seals are ubiquitous, in industry, the home, transport and many other places. This 5th edition of a long-established title covers all types of seal by application: static, rotary, reciprocating etc. The book bears little resemblance to its predecessors, and Robert Flitney has re-planned and re-written every aspect of the subject. No engineer, designer or manufacturer of seals can afford to be without this unique resource. Wide engineering market Bang up to date! Only one near competitor, now outdated

A reference on the design, application, testing and manufacture of seals and gaskets for static and dynamic fluid sealing. It examines state-of-the-art practices in materials selection, test techniques, instrumentation developments, and mathematical tools for making informed sealing decisions.
