2017-12-18

Rubber seals are one type of sealing component. So, what specific considerations should we take into account when selecting seals made of this material? And how should we view its service life? Or, what is it related to? These questions are not yet clear and understandable to us, so below, let's explain and answer them in detail to dispel any doubts in our minds.


1. Factors related to the selection of rubber seals


For the important and necessary work of selecting rubber seals, in terms of specific considerations or related factors, the main factors include working conditions, sealing forms, and sealing materials. In addition, the installation structure cannot be ignored.


The working conditions of rubber seals generally include temperature, pressure, and medium, so let's explain them in detail below.


In terms of temperature, the working temperature range varies for different types of rubber. So, it needs to be determined based on specific circumstances. In terms of pressure, if it is low or medium pressure, using rubber or polyurethane is not a problem. However, it is important to pay attention to the form of the seal as it may have an impact. As for the medium, it mainly depends on some small issues, such as specific application industries and types of media, while others are not significant.


2. Factors affecting the service life of rubber seals


The service life of rubber seals is mainly related to the material used and the working conditions. Moreover, if the types of rubber are different, the degree of wear of the seals will also vary under different working conditions. In addition, the precision of product workmanship and mechanical fit will also have a certain impact. So, comprehensive consideration is needed to accurately determine.


For rubber seals, the above two aspects can be said to be very important and fundamental. Therefore, everyone should take them seriously and carry out them in order to timely grasp and do a good job in these two aspects, select suitable rubber seals, and ensure their service life, thereby improving their effectiveness.
