  2. End-face mechanical seal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/End-face_mechanical_seal

    Both the seal ring and mating must accommodate secondary sealing elements. In some designs, various retainers, sleeves and other components may also include secondary sealing elements. Whereas a simple O-ring might require only a groove for fitting, some secondary sealing elements (for example, packing) might require mechanical compression.

  3. O-ring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O-ring

    Typical O-ring and application. An O-ring, also known as a packing or a toric joint, is a mechanical gasket in the shape of a torus; it is a loop of elastomer with a round cross-section, designed to be seated in a groove and compressed during assembly between two or more parts, forming a seal at the interface.

  4. Scuba cylinder valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scuba_cylinder_valve

    In the DIN screw thread connectors, the regulator screws into the cylinder valve, trapping the O-ring securely between the sealing face of the valve and the O-ring groove in the regulator. These are more reliable than A-clamps because the O-ring is well protected and the assembly is considerably more rigid, and has a lower profile, making O ...

  5. Groove (engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Groove_(engineering)

    This canal may receive a circlip, an o-ring, or a gasket. A depression on the entire circumference of a cast or machined wheel, a pulley or sheave. This depression may receive a cable, a rope or a belt. A longitudinal channel formed in a hot rolled rail profile such as a grooved rail. This groove is for the flange on a train wheel.

  6. Dry gas seal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dry_gas_seal

    The first dry gas seal for a compressor was patented by Kaydon Ring & Seal in 1951 when it was known as Koppers Corporation. Field applications of dry gas seal designs were completed in 1952. The original patent was for Kaydon's "Tapered Ramp" lift geometry, a constant diameter / variable depth dynamic lift design. From that first dry gas seal ...

  7. Waveguide flange - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waveguide_flange

    The recessed region is bounded by a deep choke trench (or ditch or groove) cut into the face of the flange. Choke flanges are only used with rectangular waveguide, and are invariably pressurizable, having a gasket groove encircling [3] the choke ditch. The presence of these two concentric circular grooves makes choke flanges easily recognizable.

  8. Face seal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Face_seal

    Face seals are often located in a groove or cavity on a flange. Face seals are a category of products where there is no dynamic movement on the part of either the seal or the hardware surface. Face seals are a category of products where there is no dynamic movement on the part of either the seal or the hardware surface.

  9. Obturating ring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obturating_ring

    An obturating ring is a ring of relatively soft material designed to obturate under pressure to form a seal. Obturating rings are often found in artillery and other ballistics applications, and similar devices are also used in other applications such as plumbing , like the olive in a compression fitting .
