2. Lucas Oil - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucas_Oil

   Lucas Oil owns or sponsors motorsports race teams, events and series at all levels, including NASCAR, INDYCAR, NHRA, IHRA, POWRi, ASCS, WAR and MLRA. [13] Lucas Oil also owns and operates many high-profile racing series, including Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series, Monster Jam, Lucas Oil Drag Boat Series, Lucas Oil Pro Pulling League, Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series, Lucas Oil Modified Series ...

3. Hydraulic seal - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_seal

   Ensures that fluid does not leak from the cylinder and adequate pressure is maintained. [5] Wiper seal: Is installed on the outside of the cylinder. Its main function is to prevent dirt, debris, and other contaminants from entering the hydraulic system. Other types of dynamic seals include chevron seals, U-cup seals, and labyrinth seals.

4. Blowout preventer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blowout_preventer

   A blowout preventer (BOP) (pronounced B-O-P) [1] is a specialized valve or similar mechanical device, used to seal, control and monitor oil and gas wells to prevent blowouts, the uncontrolled release of crude oil or natural gas from a well. They are usually installed in stacks of other valves.

5. Labyrinth seal - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labyrinth_seal

   Indeed, many gas turbine engine seals leak by design. [4] Labyrinth seals are also found on pistons, which use them to store oil and seal against high pressure during compression and power strokes, as well as on non-rotating shafts. In these applications, it is the long and difficult path and the formation of controlled fluid vortices plus some ...

6. End-face mechanical seal - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/End-face_mechanical_seal

   In mechanical engineering, an end-face mechanical seal (often shortened to mechanical seal) is a type of seal used in rotating equipment, such as pumps, mixers, blowers, and compressors. When a pump operates, the liquid could leak out of the pump between the rotating shaft and the stationary pump casing. Since the shaft rotates, preventing this ...

7. Leak detection - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leak_detection

   A leak appearing within an analytic region (a rule added to the camera) is immediately analyzed for its attributes, including thermal temperature, size, and behaviour (e.g. spraying, pooling, spilling). When a leak is determined to be valid based on set parameters, an alarm notification with leak video is generated and sent to a monitoring station.

8. Seal (mechanical) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seal_(mechanical)

   A seal is a device or material that helps join systems, mechanisms or other materials together by preventing leakage (e.g. in a pumping system), containing pressure, or excluding contamination. The effectiveness of a seal is dependent on adhesion in the case of sealants and compression in the case of gaskets .

9. Gasket - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gasket

   A gasket is a mechanical seal which fills the space between two or more mating surfaces, generally to prevent leakage from or into the joined objects while under compression. [1] It is a deformable material that is used to create a static seal and maintain that seal under various operating conditions in a mechanical assembly. [2]
