Mechanical Face Seal Technology: A Literature Survey.

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA138434 | Open PDF

Abstract:

A literature survey was conducted to review and evaluate the state of the art in mechanical face seal technology. The survey is part of a study to develop the capability of designing improved seals for Navy use. Sixty-eight references are cited and discussed. The report is subdivided into several sections, each embracing a general physical aspect of face seal operation. The difficulties in modeling seal performance are emphasized. Indeed, it is remarkable and encouraging that several of the models developed do predict face seal performance with some degree of accuracy.
