Practical Seal Design

This compact, on-the-job handbook provides all the practical and theoreticalinformation to design elastomeric O-ring seals for the full range of static,reciprocating, and rotary functions.Complete with fully illustrated, detailed examples to guide you step-bystepthrough virtually every seal design situation, Practical Seal Designprovides thorough coverage of ring seal geometry, material-compoundcapability, material performance, and design methods … detailed designconsiderations including stretch, swell, shrinkage, and blowout prevention,as well as innovations to extend seal life span and minimize systemhysteresis … unmatched treatment of piston-cylinder seal and shaft sealdesign … and clearly elucidated specifications for military, aerospace, andindustrial standards.With quick-access features to facilitate prompt, proper, and effective design,Practical Seal Design is an essential single-source reference for mechanical,manufacturing, industrial, automotive, aeronautical, and ocean engineers.Furthermore, this one-of-a-kind work is an excellent reference text forprofessional seminars on hydrodynamic, pneumatic, and mechanicalengineering systems, and undergraduate mechanical design courses.Additional ISBNs: 9780824771669, 0824771664, 9781351422536, 1351422537
