1. Leak Prevention One of the primary functions of the seal kit is to prevent hydraulic fluid from leaking out of the cylinder. Leaks not only reduce the efficiency of the machine by causing pressure drops but can also lead to environmental hazards and increased operational costs.
Moreover, in the oil and gas industry, rotary shaft seals are essential for maintaining pressure integrity in drilling equipment and offshore platforms. Their ability to withstand harsh conditions makes them indispensable in such critical applications.
2. Silicone Rubber Silicone is another popular choice for high temperature applications. It can remain functional at temperatures of around 300°C (572°F) and is known for its flexibility and resilience.
I don't see the scientific evidence in the literature that would cause people any concern, said Kaminski.
