Helical spring energized seals for oil and gas application

In LNG operations, valves can regularly encounter temperatures below -320 F (-196 C) and pressures above 750 pounds per square inch (psi). They are also subjected to periodic variations in temperatures known as “thermal cycling,” which can result in hardware expansion as well as shrinkage and material stresses. These factors make reliable, long-term valve operation an engineering challenge.

The FDR seal is made of a helical wound spring and a polymer jacket, which is mainly used as a Flange external face seal.

PDR rotary shaft seal extends the boundaries of elastomeric radial shaft seals, utilizing advanced materials and design techniques to provide optimal sealing performance for each application. The result is a superior sealing solution that retains a compact sealed casing.

The function of a hydraulic wear ring is to guide the piston and piston rod of a hydraulic cylinder, absorbing transverse forces. At the same time, it prevents metal-to-metal contact, optimizing the performance of the sealing system.

High-pressure Rotary shaft seals are one bidirectional rotary seal which can bear both sides of pressure and alternating pressure. It is made with slip ring and o-ring/square ring.

T-Seal is a compact three-piece double acting seal composed of a T shaped elastomeric element and two rigid anti-extrusion rings. These compact sealing elements are designed for installation in simple O-ring grooves and are often used to modify faulty O-rings.

Wipers are installed in the sealing configurations of hydraulic cylinders to prevent contaminants such as dirt, dust and moisture from entering the cylinder as they retract back into the system.

Phenolic wear rings are designed with tubing made from fine weave cotton fabric wound on molds and imbued with phenolic resin. It has high mechanical properties, good oil resistance, low water absorption and high wear resistance.
